Donald Trump could beat Hillary Clinton: Bill Richardson
CNBC ^ | March 4, 2016 | Tom DiChristopher

Posted on 03/04/2016 1:28:37 PM PST by Innovative

Democrats should not expect the path to the White House to be a cakewalk if Hillary Clinton faces Donald Trump in November, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said Friday.

"We've got to be very careful because Trump has tapped into a negativity, a populism that is out there, and I think we have to work extra hard" to attract young voters and turn out the party's base, the 2008 Democratic presidential contender told CNBC's "Squawk Box."

Clinton will be a strong candidate, he said, but she will have to overcome her party's shift far left of the American electorate. Trump also brings a fair amount of Democrats into his coalition, Gregg said.

“Bill Richardson. Another person never held in very high regard on FR until now.”

Good one.

“Trump is the Republicans’ best chance to capture the WH”

I could not AGREE MORE...the only REAL argument against Trump is that he doesn’t do as well against The Wildebeest as Rubio (for example). The BIG PROBLEM with polling like that is that it does not take into account the WELL-DOCUMENTED history of Bubble Boy and his past. No different than Linda or Jeb - once the media hits them hard, they will COLLAPSE, just as McCain (Linda’s bitch) and Romney did.

Trump, on the other hand, has ALREADY been through all of that...so there’s NOWHERE to go but up...which is why the more thoughtful Dems realize that Trump is FAR from being a walkover.

I’m sure many people are sending all kinds of dirt to both candidates about the other. Trump was able to shut her up months ago when she started with the “war on women” card.

Oh my, I had no idea one could get court documents without being in the court itself!

I got those graphics here on FR, so I can't vouch for their authenticity. But there sure is smoke...

Wow, Albion. I didn’t know this. I’d heard but I never heard the details. How sad she went against justice for a child.

I hope he sees it but his campaign might. Hillary’s might as well ...

Well, I thought about that but I felt it had to be done quickly. (I always do things hurriedly, lol) But, regardless, even if Hillary's campaign sees this - - I'd say that - - there is -no way possible that her or her campaign can come up with any pre-debate defense in regards to all this. I would think that there is simply no shield for Hillary's aggressive defense that can be put forth on this Thomas case. There is nothing here to debate or refute! Her time has come. She's just out of luck (finally! )

And besides, the court case did take place. She was there. She was Mr Thomas defense attorney. There was no other defense attorney provided to Mr Thomas, so she can't blame the outcome/plea bargain on a colleague. She did indeed get that plea bargain for Mr Thomas. He ended up with just two months in jail due to Hillary's diligent work on the case.

In addition, there is no defense for her laughing about it whatsoever. Her discussting laughter is on tape! Even the most sympathetic liberal for Hillary, would have to agree... that Hillary looks absolutely horrible in this matter, and I'll bet that even with some kind of defense/excuse her campaign can provide her prior to going into the debate, she's just flat out of luck this time!! It'll cost her votes and she and her campaign know it!

She has trashed many, many adult women who were molested by her husband. But this was a child. This was a legal rape.

What was it that Madeline Albright said — that women should burn in hell for not voting for Hillary? I think voting FOR her might be more deserving of hell.

I got Hillary with a lock on 263 EV’s and the Republican candidate with 191.

I see only 5 toss up states: CO, VA, OH, FL, NC

Hillary just needs to win 1 of them. The Republican needs all five.

And I don’t believe this BS that Trump will win NY, NJ, MA, NH, MI, WI, IA and so on. No Republican will carry those very blue states.

Lawyers lie. Politicians lie. Those lawyers who turn politicians lie the most.

Reagan was 69 when he took office, and he survived quite well. This is 35 years later...the medical technology is stunningly better now.

Trump’s parents lived to 93 and 87 or 88, so he also has great longevity genes.

The fix is in. HRC will be 86’d by her legal problems. Dem ticket will be Biden/Warren. Trump will lose.

Not advocating - predicting.

If passing around top secret information hasn't make her withdraw... this might not either... She has no shame - still, one can hope...Thanks for the ping Mr Apple.

“One on one, Trump wouldn’t beat Cruz or Rubio either.”

The only problem with that statement is that Trump *is* beating them one-on-one.
