Hillary No Shoo-In for 2016
Newsmax ^ | 11/28/2015 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 11/28/2015 3:13:41 PM PST by GilGil

...the challenge for Hillary Clinton is likely to be much different. Rather than worrying about whether she can hold the lead and run out the clock, the question will become whether or not she can pull off a come-from-behind victory.

In all likelihood, the Republican nominee will start off the general election season as the favorite.

That perspective may sound crazy to Clinton supporters and many in the D.C. media club. They see the Democratic front-runner as obviously experienced and qualified in contrast to the leading GOP candidates.

But fundamentals drive elections more than candidates do. The most important measure of the political climate is the president's job approval rating. At the moment, President Obama's ratings are in the low-to-mid 40s. That's a danger ground, suggesting that he will be a drag on his party's nominee.

She has committed multiple felonies. Her husband is a serial rapist. Her foreign policies have gotten hundreds of thousands killed. We were hit by terrorists under her watch in Benghazi where the embassy is technically US soil. She got the ambassador killed because she denied protection. Her husband was impeached. They both lost their law licenses. They have lined their pockets with hundreds of millions and I am sure I am forgetting at least 100 other crimes.

Now all of the sudden Hillary is polling badly and they are surprised and Rasmussen is suggesting that Hillary may "unexpectedly" lose.

They are all so surprised because they want to put the godfather in a pantsuit in the White House.

Delusion really has not boundaries or conscience.

Where the hell has she been for the past few months? It appears the Rodham-Clinton gang has gone “underground”.

If she really is as ill as some recent articles have indicated, she might not even make it through the primaries.

Hillary! has been conspicuously absent lately, approximately since those reports that the FBI was getting serious about the servers.

Trump keeps hinting in his recent speeches that she is having serious health problems. He says in codespeak that he thinks that she does not have the “stamina” to be prez. In his recent Florida speech he said that she will do an event and then disappear for “3-4 days” or a week and then resurface as if she has to rest because she cannot take the strain. Do you remember after she testified for congress she totally disappeared.

Trump keeps harping on her health. He knows more than he is saying but now he is telling the DNC that he knows and starting to intimidate them. If this theme keeps surfacing in his speeches, I think Hillary may be sicker than we think and her deal killing weakness.

She certainly is the most experienced at many things - decades of corruption and incompetence and promotion of failed, destructive policies we are suffering the consequences for today. It's a record that is difficult to match.

This will have her take an extra drink too.

Trump talking about Hillary today.

This is obuma and ValJar’s plan....to throw Hillary under the bus so he doesn’t get his hands dirty....

You watch, before they can do this, she’ll come out and say she isn’t healthy enough for the job...just like Trump said today in his speech, ‘she can’t do the job, she doesn’t have the energy, she does one speech and you don’t see her for a few days’....

Plus she has a laundry list of crimes her and slick willy have gathered up since they were in Arkansas...and the White House, and with her NY Senator seat and the S of S with Benghazi, and 4 Americans killed, and guns running to help the ISIS in Syria...on and on it goes, it’s time it stops!!!

I hope there is something to this. Biden has blown his chance, IMHO. He’s like Romney and McCain. He doesn’t want to inherit Obama’s mess. McCain and Romney only ran for president so they could put “former next President of the United States” on their resume. Sanders isn’t going anywhere. He’s out of his mind.

I think Trump is planning on horning in on the Dem primary. He doesn’t have the high negatives among Democrats that he has among Republicans.

That is like saying that a hooker in the business for 30 years is most experienced to run the brothel.

Come to think of it Hillary looks like a whore house madam.

the only way Hillary can win
is if the GOP lets her
(like they did Obama in 2008 and 2012)

In the latest polls she has been trailing the leading Republicans.

Let’s see:

On our side we have born leaders (Trump or Cruz) standing for God, life, family, country, borders, guns, free market capitalism, limited government, national sovereignty, national security, freedom, liberty!

On their side they have born losers (Hillary and Sanders) standing for secularism, atheism, abortion, gay marriage, gun confiscation, global warming, big government, big spending, big taxing, single payer socialism, Marxism, fascism, totalitarianism, Islamofascism, Sharia law, open borders, unlimited immigration, death panels, culture of corruption, and the Sodom and Gomorrah slime pits of hell.

After eight long years of the latter under Obama, I think it’ll be God, family, country, freedom by a landslide.

A Hillary presidency is just a third term for Bill.

“.......the question will become whether or not she can pull off a come-from-behind victory.”......

If she is in a place she belongs, a federal jail, she won’t have to worry about it nor will we. Now I await a miracle which is long overdue.

Most likely if her health falls apart Bill will run things.
