CNN poll: Americans agree Clinton and Trump headed for a faceoff (National: Trump 49%; Cruz: 25%)
CNN ^ | May 02, 2016 | Jennifer Agiesta

Americans don't agree on much in politics these days, but a new poll finds broad majorities in agreement that the front-runners for the Republican and Democratic nominations for president will wind up the winners in the end.

According to a new CNN/ORC poll out Monday, 84% of voters nationwide think Donald Trump will lead the Republican ticket in November, while 85% say the same about Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

But the sense of inevitability hasn't boosted their support among their own parties. Each has the backing of about half of voters: Clinton is the choice of 51% of Democratic voters, while 49% of Republican voters say they would prefer Trump to be their nominee.

For the rest of the Republican side, 25% back Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and 19% support Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Among those not already backing Trump, nearly half say the GOP front-runner is their second choice: 43% of non-Trump voters say that if the candidate they support doesn't get the nomination, Trump is their backup. About a third choose either Kasich or Cruz and 15% say their second choice is someone other than the remaining three candidates.

Interesting article in American Thinker worth a second thought.

Clinton Was Never Intended to Be the Democrat Nominee

Maybe this was the reason she got paid millions of Dollars for instant information taken off her server by either domestic or foreign entities by accessing classified information which she kept on her server, instead of them hoping and waiting for her to become president to return the favor, what would have meant for them to take a chance of losing the money if she did not become president. Crooked and greedy as she is that’s not impossible and something to be considered.

I agree with the article title in part ‘Clinton and Trump headed for a faceoff ‘


I am hoping Trump rips her face off... metaphorically speaking.
