According to the latest poll:

"Hillary Clinton would defeat Republicans by a landslide margin for the Presidency in 2016 if the election were held today. That’s the finding of a new national poll released by Quinnipiac University on October 3."



Hillary Clinton Would Crush GOP In 2016, According To New Poll -


Poor republicans. No candidates, no prospects of one.

Because the Republicans don't - and don't want to - appeal to any group other than white males over the age of 40.
They don't appeal to the majority of women, white males under the age of 40, blacks, browns, gays, liberals, etc.
Winning the Presidency is going to be very difficult for the Republicans for the foreseeable future.

They would have a candidate in Chris Christie - but the ultra-conservative nut jobs who now run the Party, hate him because he cozied up to Obama to get money after Hurricane Sandy devastated New Jersey.

Oh Well - That's their problem.

Yeah, it's pretty likely that Hillary will be the next President.

Why should you be happy about Hillary running? She's to the right of Obama, and Obama is right-wing on everything except social issues and the ACA.

I don't really care for Hillary. She's not progressive enough. I would much prefer Liz Warren with Morris Dees as her running mate.

We thought we had a Liberal when we elected Obama, but he has proven to be centrist with forays to the right.

That said, I would support Hillary before any of the goons from the other side who re currently on the radar.

The polls must have said the same thing for 2008 (and you know how that turned out) because the Republicans put all their eggs in the Hillary basket trying to defeat her.

She's at about 10% from the polls I've seen. Not bad since she is essentially regional.

Compare that to 17% for Cruz after he had a full day's exposure on the media and zillions of words written about him, and she looks all that much stronger.
