Majority of Democrats want Third Term for Obama
Tea Party ^ | June 30, 2016 9:41 am | The Hill

Posted on 06/30/2016 3:15:55 PM PDT by progunner

A strong majority of Democrats would cancel the 2016 presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump if it meant President Obama could serve another term, a new poll found.

Data provided to The Hill by the conservative polling outlet WPA Research found that 67 percent of Democrats would take a third term for Obama over a potential Clinton administration.

Only 28 percent said they’re ready to move on from the Obama White House, while 6 percent are undecided.

Obama is enjoying a surprisingly strong approval rating for a president serving out the final months of his second term.

A Washington Post-ABC News survey released this week found Obama’s net approval rating approaching 80 points in positive territory among Democrats. Former President Bill Clinton was at about 60 points positive within his own party at this point in 2000, while former President George W. Bush was under 40 with Republicans.

At the same time, a Gallup survey from April found Clinton’s net approval rating among Democrats hitting a new low. She had a 63-point net positive approval rating last November. That plummeted to only 36 points in April.

“The results should give pause to the Hillary Clinton campaign as Democratic respondents clearly prefer the status quo to a Clinton presidency,” a memo from WPA said.

Clinton is looking to unite Democrats behind her campaign after a bitterly fought primary against Bernie Sanders.

There was good news for Clinton on this front in The Washington Post survey released this week, which found Sanders supporters moving quickly behind Clinton over Trump.

The WPA survey of 384 registered Democrats was conducted between June 22 and 27 and has a margin of error of 5 percentage points.

The second civil war will be much bloodier than the first one ever was.

A Majority of Democrats would like to have a king who would rule as a dictator.

And they damn near got it this time. King Obama is actually a dictator since in the past he got what he wants, to destroy America and create a real solid dictatorship with him as King. And many of the Republicans have gone along with it. America is in real trouble and many never recover even if Trump is President.

Trump for President.

I dare them to push this. That would be the final deal breaker. That would be the next revolution.

-- Republican voters who are going to stay home in protest of God-knows-what. Even if its 10% that's a lot. .. --

Whatever the fraction is, the attrition is inevitable. Trump is either causing or capitalizing on a shift in the political alignment. Whatever the republicans claimed to stand for, that's lost persuasive value.

By this time next year he’d have a NAMBLA chapter in every military unit at the company/troop/squadron/ship division level.

If Obama refuses to step down and appoints his judge, there will be no recourse short of war.

The findings and options drawn up by the lawyers at the National Security Council in 1968 are sitting in a filing cabinet in some government warehouse. It shouldn’t be too hard to locate them.

That's because We The People of the United States have more GUNS, and the rank and file of our armed forces will side with US, just like the military turned on the Communist dictatorship in Romania in December 1989, and supported the revolution which saw the Ceausescus driven from office, apprehended outside of Bucharest, put on trial for genocide before military tribunal, and executed on Christmas Day.

The Washington Post is actively trying to demoralize the Republican base to depress fundraising and recruitment and ultimately to suppress turn out in November by promoting their false narrative that Trump has no chance. Think about that before posting the same poll over and over from different sources. You know who you are.

There’s a parallel to how things were 16 years ago. Most I guess Gore had a lock on environmentalists and people he knew at Harvard, like Hillary has older feminists and Wellesley women, but most Democrats would rather have seen a third Bill Clinton term than an Al Gore presidency. Hillary and Al definitely have people problems, but a lot of it just has to do with Democrat voters wanting to stick with the devil they know.

If Emperor Barky is stupid enough to try it, I would bet the rent that somewhere there would rise up one (and we would only need one) military officer who still takes seriously his Oath to defend the Constitution against "all enemies, foreign and domestic" and if he can't stop the Kenyan sonuvabitch with a sidearm, he'll get him in a headlock and snap his effin' neck.

"The dems have accomplished their task in dumbing down America."

FDR was elected to the presidency 4 times.

Now the libtard dumbies want King Obozo to be their new FDR.

our armed forces will side with US

I believe that to be very true. I find it hard to fatham a soldier gunning down his own.
