Yes, she is toast.
While this may be true, do we have to worry about Biden? He has tried to run 2 or 3 times before, and couldn’t win. Having him would be like a 3rd term of Obama - God help us.
The truth of it is that the poweratti can “pull” the contest any way they want it to go. The trick is in getting them to make up their minds to make the switch.
Viola! [yes, I know that’s wrong, BTW] Biden Coronation comin’ up.
Biden is a five time loser and weakened by his own stupidity.
Right now, being in the race is the only thing keeping Hillary from being indicted, and she knows it. She is not bowing out. She’ll burn down the house if she’s challenged.
Freudian (maybe Pavlovian) reaction on my part, my brain saw “Jeb Biden.”
Next, a real bad September.
Hitlery is despised.
Well, I don’t know why not. It’s pretty obvious if you ask me.
Joe “shotgun” Biden? Didn’t he advise home owner once to shoot through the door at suspicious visitors?
At this point, my dog would poll better than Hillary.
But Hillary, please do stay in the race. One, while your lies are insulting in their transparency, it is somewhat entertaining and instructive to see how low you'll go. You libs never cease to amaze me on that one. Two, you are doing tremendous damage to the 'rats and liberals everywhere - exposing just how morally, legally, even reality-challenged and bankrupt you all really are. You're making Independents even faster than the GOPe. Three, if you actually make it to the election, well, it'll take a miracle and lots of (additional) illegal activity. That'll just be more sauce for your cooked goose when you are eventually perp-walked to the waiting black SUV - all on live TV and internet streamed around the world. How many people around the world are going to breath a sigh of relief when that happens? How many are going to wonder "oh s**t, what's she going to give up to try to stay out of prison?" But I digress... Please stay in the race, it is becoming almost as morbidly fascinating as a Biden press conference when the teleprompter goes out 30 seconds in and Joe has to go unscripted.
Neither has courage. They are over priced tea leaf readers. Both pundits and consultants hate real leaders. A leader has the strength of commitment and the power of persuasion to change the polls.
A real leader has the ability to change polls by defining him/herself in their own terms, based on passionately held believes and the ability to communicate clearly.
Free Republic posters have far better punditry and strategy advice then the so called professionals.
Bear with me here as I work through this:
People prefer the unseen to the seen. Hillary’s favorables were highest in the time between when she stopped being Secretary of State and before she announced for President. At that time she was basically absent. When she was absent people began to forget the bad - a tendency everyone has (Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and all that).
Once she came back - and everyone was reminded of her shrillness, the duplicity, the scandals - her poll numbers dropped accordingly.
Even though Biden is the VP you rarely hear from him. He’s not on the news every night. Right now, he’s in the “Hillary’s absent” phase. Once he’s on TV all the time, and he begins messing up names, spouting one gaffe after another, everyone will remember how big of an idiot he is and his poll numbers will drop too.
