Hillary Clinton has double-digit leads over potential GOP presidential rivals, poll shows
Washington Post ^ | 1/22/2015 | Anne Guran

Hillary Rodham Clinton holds double-digit leads over potential Republican challengers Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney as the likely Democratic presidential candidate moves closer to entering the 2016 race, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds.

Although Clinton, Bush and Romney are all longtime politicians and members of political dynasties, registered voters are less likely to count that familiarity against Clinton. That is a good sign for Clinton, a failed 2008 presidential candidate and the focus of Republican criticism that her time has come and gone.

Clinton’s potential to make history as the first female U.S. president makes little difference to most voters and is a net positive for others.

It’s not so much that they are really for HRC, they just want “their bill” back in the White House.

correction, it will be because this country is too stupid to know any better any longer- they are already well o n their way, having elected the worste president in history for TWO terms- and the dems are deeply entrenched o n the ‘give the people free stuff and they will elect you easily’ bandwagon- - this is why you are seeing governors, mayors etc all scrambling to give away free education, healthcare, daycare, higher minimum wages etc- they are placating the people before the elections, and this is why Hillary is doing as well as she is

Our current leader was reelected DESPITE gasoline prices being sky high, DESPITE him attacking religion attacking conservatives, attacking the constitution, attacking the very moral foundations of this country- and the people STILL elected him for a second term because they felt like they were gonna get ‘more free stuff’ from him- and he is delivering just that-

It doesn’t help that the GOPe are all dubs incapable of standing up for conservative values any longer-, and unable to combat the left effectively, but this country has changed I nte past 6 years, and it’s a very ugly country now where people want their slice of the pie NOW before it all runs out- and they think Hillary is going to continue delivering it for them

[[If she wins, then without question, without one single solitary doubt we will know that the elections are rigged in this country.]]

If she wins we will know wthout question that this country has sunk into an irreversible stupidity and greedy lot. I will never, as long as I live, forget the interview Jesse Waters did after Obama was elected a second term- He asked people o nthe streets why they voted for him, and a black woman excitedly proclaimed “So I can get me some of that Obama-money” and when waters asked her where she thought the money was coming from, she got a %%^$ eating grin on her face and shrugged her shoulders and proclaimed “It’s just free”

I knew right then and there that this country had taken a very sad turn for the worse seeings how the majority reelected him no doubt with that same greedy idea in mind

[[that it’s because Hitlary has yet to open her mouth. When she has to start campaigning, that’s when she will drop in the polls.]]

The problem with that statement is that she has already opened her mouth in the past, said some incredibly stupid and hurtful and unpatriotic statements, and even callously proclaimed ‘what difference does it make’ about dead Americans, She was one of the most ineffective secretaries of state ever, AND she LIED repeatedly and got caught LYING about Benghazi and yet she is still ahead I n the polls? She shouldn’t even be registering in the polls after the crap she’s done said and not done? I’ll repeat my earlier statement, this country has taken a very bad turn I nrecent years- and the sad part is unfortunately, that the people might just want to continue the socialism of America by reelecting another democrat

When did the RATs decide our values? Good grief.

I can imagine her slurping the Gin and keeling over on a bus ride to nowhere.

Hillary looks like Blofeld in that photo.

Just a tired, old and nasty international super-villain vibe coming out of her.

The Conservative voters will vote for candidates with Conservative values, but we also have to win the middle. xzins is right.

Joni Ernst, 2016. Assuming she wants the job, of course.

Cruz and Martinez are ALREADY conservatives.

After that, “we should just ignore other dynamics” is not a prescription for success in my view.
