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.
The interesting thing to me is, although she is the worst possible candidate, no accomplishments, no charisma, no ideas, no reason at all anyone would ever want to vote for her...
... there nevertheless isn’t a single serious Democrat with a name we know willing to run against her. They are all of them that afraid of the Clintons that while her candidacy implodes they still won’t get into the race until she is completely and safely out of it.
Awww. What’s wrong with ‘Bolshevic Buinie’? (sarc)
What’s your hurry, Your Highness? My shipment of Orville Redenbacher Gourmet Popping Corn has not arrived yet!
I don’t want to miss a minute of this most spectacular collapse that may be coming around the mountain.
The Rats know that Obozo has left enough land mines behind him in office to cripple our nation after he leaves, and the new President will be blamed for all of it.
Communism always has a long range plan.
I want her repudiation to be slow and agonizing.
"We are a very different country than we were 200 years ago," Clinton said. "I believe strongly that in a democracy, we should respect the will of the people and to me, that means it's time to do away with the Electoral College and move to the popular election of our president."
Somehow I can’t see Bernie Sanders or Martin O’Malley getting the nod because the Dem party how much can get done having a minority who’s exempt from all criticism. Elizabeth Warren excites their base but her native-american falsehoods will inhibit her ability to play the race card. This makes me think they’re going for another light skinned, articulate AA guy. Cory Booker or Deval Patrick come to mind.
Thank god. Put her in jail. Sell her assets. Give the proceeds to families of US personal killed over seas.
May she burn in the hottest level of Dante’s inferno.
The problem with Hillary withdrawing is that Elizabeth Warren will take her place. If Warren can win, VAL JARRETT gets to keep her position.
She intends to keep her position.
As another Freeper mentioned, Hillary will withdraw do to faked grave illness - take your pick.
Elizabeth Warren is in the bullpen. Waiting in the shadows to emerge as the new vajayjay on parade.
sorry lady freepers but this is what we are dealing with...
“At this point, what difference does it make”
A lot bitch.
“The Hildabeast from Hell is in free fall...”
If so, it looks like they’ll go hook, line, and sinker for Bernie and bring it in for the Democrats, er Socialists, er Progressives, er Communists, er....(a large part of the electorate really does love those commies.)
