You are right, Hillary is terrible. But it must be killing y'all that she beats every single GOP candidate in each and every head-to-head polls, even Fox News'. Doesn't speak much to the purported deep bench - as we all know, quantity is not quality.

Mick, even heads on polls mean absolutely nothing. We have to wait until, say after the NH primaries to really have a clue how a candidate will stand up against her. Right now there are so many choices and so many who know little of nothing about many of the Republicans. Do you really think, if she is the nominee she will end up winning by 8 or 10% points or getting anywher near 60% of the vote? I am sure, if you are honest and know much about politics you know it will, most likely be a close election.

Polls at this point are a function of name ID, so it is no surprise that Hillary wins that contest. Most people at this point don't have a clue who Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, etc. are. 99% know who Hillary is.

The other day I was talking to a co-worker and somehow the topic of Hank Johnson's quote about Guam capsizing came up. I couldn't for the life of me think of his name at the time. It has been several years since the incident.

I was looking around for someone to help me out, and realized that out of 70 co-workers, only about 2 or 3 would have even heard of that incident. That is the world we live in, w/ only about 5% of people even have a basic familiarity with the national political discourse.

What a ridiculous and inflammatory poll. Typical of liberals and ethnocentrics.

It's not nice to insult old people. Clinton and Sanders might get their feelings hurt.

So people who love to throw insults like what you are saying belong back in grade school. I would take that senior any day over children that only know how to insult instead of post something informative. May I add, which you are fogetting, who has the youngest candidates running for President and who has a couple of hispanics or does that not count? What is your side offering?
