Hillary Clinton has double-digit leads over potential GOP presidential rivals, poll shows

Hillary Rodham Clinton holds double-digit leads over potential Republican challengers Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney as the likely Democratic presidential candidate moves closer to entering the 2016 race, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds.

Although Clinton, Bush and Romney are all longtime politicians and members of political dynasties, registered voters are less likely to count that familiarity against Clinton. That is a good sign for Clinton, a failed 2008 presidential candidate and the focus of Republican criticism that her time has come and gone.

Clinton’s potential to make history as the first female U.S. president makes little difference to most voters and is a net positive for others.

We need to peel female voters away from Hillary.

“The problem with that statement is that she has already opened her mouth in the past, said some incredibly stupid and hurtful and unpatriotic statements, and even callously proclaimed ‘what difference does it make’ about dead Americans.”

All that means is that most of the idiot voters here today have short memories. She folded like a cheap tent when Obola showed up. The one thing she isn’t is a good speaker. She will be ripped to shreds by most any of the GOP contenders in a debate. It’s the last impression the idiot voters have in their minds that will drive their vote. Also, she looks like the old hag that she is. It’s too late for more cosmetic surgery because it would be noticed and played up. Trying to change her appearance would be akin to chrome plating a turd. Both inside and out, she’s an ugly piece of work.

t's 655 days away. That's a VERY long time.

Well, apparently there can be a hurricane a few days from the election that can sway that part of the electorate that has no business voting. If that is the case, (and it is) nothing that happens in the next 653 days matters much at all.

A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

I really think you’re a lib troll. The Dems have been losing independents. The black conservative movement is ascendant.

We’re winning. Stop lying and trolling.

I wouldn’t sweat it. At this stage, Hilary Clinton SHOULD be ahead of all GOP nominees by double digits. She is about the only Democratic candidate, while the GOP has like 20 heavy weight potential candidates. The poll on the GOP side is split amongst all these candidates, while Hilary is getting all the votes on the Democratic side. As the GOP field gets whittled down in the primaries, Hilary Clinton’s lead will disappear.
