It’s no longer a question of whether Hillary! Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2016; it’s only a question of when she will drop out of the race rather than face humiliation a second time:
Democrats are seeing warning signs after a new poll showed Hillary Clinton losing three swing states and deep in negative territory on questions of character. One Democratic strategist who spoke on condition of anonymity described the poll results as “the canary in the coal mine.”
The poll, from Quinnipiac University, surveyed voters in Colorado, Iowa and Virginia. President Obama won all three states in both of his presidential election victories, but they went for former President George W. Bush almost as uniformly in 2004 and 2000. When the pollsters tested Clinton against leading Republican contenders Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, she lost every state to every opponent.
Among the most alarming findings, from a Democratic perspective, was the indication that Clinton, widely considered the party’s front-runner, would lose Colorado by 9 points to Walker and would lose by at least 6 points to any of the three candidates in Iowa. Hank Sheinkopf, a New York-based Democratic consultant who has worked with Clinton in the past but is not involved with her current campaign, described the findings as “absolutely dangerous” for the party.
Losing a state like Colorado by nine points to Scott Walker (who will be the GOP standard-bearer in 2016) would mean an electoral disaster for the Democrats is in the offing. If it’s not close in Colorado or Iowa, it means the Democrats would likely lose every swing state, including Walker’s own Wisconsin, and be confined to their electoral ghettos in New England and on the West Coast.
But it is not just the head-to-head match-ups where Clinton struggles. Other findings are also poor for her, including on the question of whether voters trust her. Those results seem ominous given that the former first lady has been in the public eye for around a quarter-century, making impressions of her more difficult to change. She has also struggled on questions of honesty before.
The Quinnipiac poll showed Coloradans asserting by an almost 2-1 margin that Clinton was not honest or trustworthy: 62 percent said she was not, whereas only 34 percent she was. The findings were not much better in either Iowa or Virginia. Respondents distrusted Clinton 59 percent to 33 percent in the former, and 55 percent to 39 percent in latter.
Crazy as it seemed only a couple of months ago, look for both Al Gore and John Kerry to start testing the waters by the fall. Now, Democrats are running around with their hair on fire.
help out please ...
The DOJ inquiry into the Hildabeast’s emails and private server has to be a shot across the bow from ValJar and Odumbo. Dims just never attack other Dims like this with criminal intent! They almost always circle the wagons, protect. There are still 16 months until the election. If the Dim power structure can ease the Beast out by years end, there might be time for the squaw from Massachusetts, the junior Hamlet on the Hudson, or maybe even Uncle Joe to jump in the race. Who’s gonna replace the Hildabeast now...Bernie the Socialist, Marty the sorry Irishman, Jimmy the warrior, oh yeah...Lincoln the former Pubbie! The Dims must be in a panic right now...I think we could be seeing the rebirth of the Fauxcahontas candidacy in the next few months; throw in Cory Booker as Veep to reel in the moulinyon vote? What’s not to love if you’re a Dim...they’ll quickly forget the Hildabeast!
You don’t really think they will bother to knock, do you?
Also rather than a big budget surplus in Minnesota, they now are looking at a $2+ Billion deficit. We don’t need any more of THAT stuff.
Trump-Cruz 2016!
They are supposed to, but no, a rhetorical question, and you are probably right.
As long as she gets to divert her campaign contributions to her personal account, with no questions asked, I doubt it’ll bother her that much. I half think she was just in it for the money anyway.
Hillary is not worried. She knows the GOP will nominate ¡Yeb! and save her bacon.
It takes a Bush (or a Dole) to lose to a Clinton.
¡Yeb! will lose graciously of course.
That’s what designated losers do.
The Democrat convention is going to be a Gathering Of Losers.
"I believe strongly that in a democracy . . ."
Of course you do. You believe that you can, as Alexander Hamilton put it,
"flatter [our] prejudices to betray [our] interests.”The framers crafted a republic rather than a democracy in an effort to limit the mischief potential of Democrats.
When the IG in the criminal referral to DOJ confirmed that contemporary Classified and secret communications was handled directly by H. Clinton, the walls came tumbling down. She has violated federal law in several ways by removing.concealing, destroying government property and by doing so with classified !!classified !!government documents and property. The penalty includes the prison and the strict statutory penalty that she can “never hold public office”.
Obviously she lied to government officials in Congress. Those that have helped her ( including her “lawyers” )are guilty of aiding and abetting and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
I understand that DOJ will not do their constitutional job but that is irrelevant . Any aggrieved party ( opposing candidate) may approach a Federal judge and seek removal of DOJ for conflict of interest. The Judge may do that and appoint a special counsel to his /her court to investigate and report. The judge can use the power of judicial order to effect the enforcement of his orders and compel compliance or hold violators in contempt and have them failed in a facility of his choosing until they comply.
Hillary is going down very soon . I expect candidates to begin to promise prosecution next week. Demorats have nobody in the wings.
Stuffed ballot boxes.
Illegal aliens voting.
Martial law.
I can unfortunately think of several reasons for her winning or dear leader staying on.
That said, a donkey who claims to be a Democrat immediately enters the Electoral College with 235 votes representing idiots, union bullies, and voter fraud in blue states. Will she carry Obama's black vote? Probably not but it doesn't matter because there are 54,000,000 single women in the US and she will get a secret vote from pro-choice white Republican wives.
In the end, there are only nine states that matter and VA Gov Terry McA. will manipulate this election outcome for her. Every other state is critical and our nominee needs to speak Spanish because she doesn't. We need Rubio, Cruz, or sadly he's-wrong-about-everything Jeb. Walker would need the NM Gov as veep.
She is devoid of even a scintilla of charm. She makes al gore look like Cary Grant.
Yup, Bernie is certainly honest.
IMHO
Agreed Bernie Sanders - not a crook.
What about that reset button hers. It worked so well before.
One has to wonder how many covert assets she got killed with that insecure email server.
