I saw a recent poll suggesting that former first lady, United States senator and secretary of State Hillary Clinton would beat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in a hypothetic presidential campaign, even in the reddest states.
This made me think of a happy thought for Democrats: it is within the realm of possibility that Clinton would win all 50 states in an epic, historic and realigning mega-landslide against the party that threatens a Republican default, a Republican economic crash and a Republican government shutdown.
Here's why:
Republicans have been accused of waging a war against women, a war against workers and a war against the poor. Republicans have been accused of waging a war against the environment while they deny global warming. We even have Republicans waging a war against the American economy, while some Republicans even deny the deadly economic dangers of a U.S. default.
It gets better for Democrats: Now, Republicans are waging a war against everyone. Veterans and military families face hardship because of the Republican shutdown. Small-business people cannot get loans because of the Republican shutdown. Tourists find national parks closed because of the Republican shutdown. It goes on and on and on, which is why Republican polling numbers have been falling like a snowball down a mountain during an avalanche.
It gets even better for Democrats: Republicans have been accused of waging a war against the 99 percent, which is bad enough, as Mitt Romney learned the hard way. But now, Republicans are even waging a war against the 1 percent.
Think about it: If the debt ceiling is not increased and markets crash, the 1 percent get screwed along with everyone else. And — this is important — if the government shutdown continues, consumer confidence and consumer purchasing power go down. Retail sales go down. Sales and earnings and profits of most businesses, large and small, go down. And with the latest GOP scheme for a short term deal, which will continue the sadomasochism in Washington through the Christmas shopping season, the Banana Republicans could ruin the holiday for Mom and Dad, the kids, and businesses across America.
Bill and Hillary Clinton represent better days for the economy, and a Clinton presidency that led to powerful economic growth, prosperity and jobs even while the Banana Republicans tried to impeach him. Hillary Clinton represents to voters the ability to lead, the ability to govern, and the ability to grow the economy. If she runs against the Banana Republicans, who are so unpopular today, she could actually win all 50 states in November 2016. That's a happy prospect indeed, for Democrats.
Republicans should allow a vote in the House to end the shutdown, no strings attached, now.
Oh please! Don’t throw us in to that briar patch. EVERYONE loves Hillary.
I know Meth does weird things but this is the strangest.
A funny thing happened to Hillary the last time she was on her way to her coronation.
I expect something similar, should she decide to run in 2016.
I doubt any legitimate poll taken since the Shutdown shows Hillary beating Ted Cruz in any state and they are afraid to run a poll of Hillary v. Palin.
Yes, the outlook for the country is THAT gloomy.
lol the person who wrote this had to be high on meth right..or Oxycontin
I would like to know how someone who has already served as president for eight years could possibly have a third term.
Yeah, Hillary would be a lock in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina etc. Heck I bet she can’t win Arkansas.
GOD “could” intervene in 2015!!!
I wouldn’t bet a lot of money on her winning her real home states (Illinois and New York) after three debates with Ted Cruz.
This clown doesn't really believe what he is typing, because in his last sentence, he says " The Republicans need to end the shut-down and end this now."
What a tool. He contradicts himself in one sentence. If he really believed we were getting pummeled, he would WANT us to keep holding out, and not cave.
I guess the audience he writes for is not too bright, and he can get by with this type of stupid logic. Scary.
No that old hag is entirely beatable. That’s one of the reasons the shutdown was stupid. Before all this whiz kid Nate Silver had the repubs a better then 50% to take Senate. Then take down Hillary and that’s how you get rid of Obamcare once and for all. Win. Elections.
Speaking of Hillary,Did Obama send Biden to Camp David so he could tell his family he was not allowed to run for President.Just a thought.
IMHO, most Democrats, and their “Leftstream” Media KNOW that Republicans cannot win elections because:
* Weekly preemptive opinion poll attacks will make them afraid of their own shadows;
* Most voters hate politics, so the “Leftstream” Media gives out only low-information, anti-Republican news every day;
* “Everybody knows” that the Republicans are split so badly on foolish issues such as Obamacare that the sensible Republicans would never support a POTUS Candidate who is not in the mold of Dole, McCain or Romney.
* Republicans are nice to have around to be blamed if things go wrong, but they should never be taken seriously as potential challengers for any public service elected office.
Who is this idiot ?
LOL
“Small-business people cannot get loans because of the Republican shutdown”
