The stage is set for Clinton—except for one person: Rudy. He defeats her by winning key blue and purple states. Right now he’s ahead in NJ, PA, RI, FL, MI, and is competitive in CA. He runs neck-and-neck in OH and would probably take OR and CT. Factor in the mountain states and the South and we win. No second-string Republican polls this well and all would lose against her except Rudy—which is why the media is trying to take him out early.
If it comes down to rudie or hillary then it will be hillary. If it does come down to a race between the two of them it wouldn’t really matter who won. There is not a dimes worth of difference between the two of them. Except that hillary could probably take him in a fair fight. Rudie spells death for the Republican party and must be swept aside now.
