At this juncture polls just don't hold much credence with me. That said, anyone who says that Hillary isn't in trouble is blind. It continues to get worse and worse for her and it is problems of her own creation. I have said from the very beginning that she is vulnerable and I believe she is. I have my doubts that she will get her parties nomination at the end of the day. If Hillary is vulnerable, either way that cracks open the door both in the primary as well as the general. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the months ahead, but any of you that think Hillary is a cinch to win are delusional.

And, note, to have such high numbers on this issue means that the problem is much greater than just Republicans not trusting her.

I'm on the edge of my seat awaiting the GOP's investigative results. So far, they've been after this email thing for what, two years already? And she's turned over all the stuff the FBI has asked for.


I'm no Clinton fan and never voted for either of them.


But I've sure seen LOTS of GOP investigations that resulted in nothing but name-calling and nothing more. At this point, I'll wait for something substantive. Because so far all it's been is a lot of hot air and right wing hopes for a Clinton catastrophe.

We'll see.

No need to. I wrote 'em.

Where are these claims you claim?

And please don't be so bitter that I've called your bluff.

The GOP isn't doing the main investigation; rather, the FBI, led by a director appointed by Obama, is. And, as this director has shown in the past, he is not shy about recommending charges against both Democrat and Republican politicians for illegality. (As an update on the matter: http://www.businessinsider.com/fbi-a...e-email-2015-8). The only question would be whether the White House would ultimately sanction any potential filing of charges. But, given that the White House has OK'd the investigation to begin with (and Obama has "blessed" a Biden run), I don't think that it will get in the way.

Sure, Congress is doing its thing, too, but they don't have the power to charge Hillary with anything.

Q poll: Trump numbers soar, Hillary continues slide - Connecticut Post

(newer article)
From the same article you quoted:

Quote:
Jeb Bush has a negative 32 - 41 percent favorability rating among all voters, with Clinton getting a negative 39 - 51 percent score, her worst ever. Ratings for other top contenders are 48 - 39 percent for Biden; Negative 36 - 54 percent for Trump; 41 - 27 percent for Rubio; 32 - 28 percent for Sanders.

Trump and Clinton have the worst scores among top candidates on honesty. Clinton is not honest and trustworthy, voters say 61 - 34 percent, her lowest score ever;
Trump is not honest and trustworthy, voters say 54 - 38 percent.
I'd say neither Hillary nor Mr. Trump is trusted by the American public. Their scores are similar in that regard. Yet they are the frontrunners. Go figure.

I couldn't believe that she stooped to using the "race" card: Hillary Clinton Calls Donald Trump a RACIST... And Trump FIRES Back in an EPIC WAY! - The Political Insider

I do think the Democratic Party played some games with Hillary when they pulled Obama out of the hat and now, they are at it again. They'll ask her once again to back the nominee which ever loser that may be. She has been dupped by her party and her husband. Sad.

Despite all of that, she, Biden and Bernie kick the crap out of the GOP field. RealClearPolitics - Latest Polls (see August 27, 2015) I guess you don't have to be honest or liked to beat the GOP candidates. Strange.

Mick, I'm Republican but, I would rather see Biden or Bernie than her....she's that bad. Christ, if I were Bill I'd be riding Monica Lewinski like Sea Biscuit....at least she had a smile and seemed to enjoy herself....contrast that to Hillary....who would you chase between the two if you had a gun pointed at your head and asked to choose?

Hillary is just too.....too......cold? Uncaring? Detached? Cynical? Biotch? Petty? Angry? Abusive? Liar? Untrustworthy? Evil? Do any of those inaccurately describe her? She's just flat out mean and can't be trusted....as much fun as I have had with Biden, he doesn't seem like any of those traits....clumsy? out of touch? sure but, not evil....Sanders? not evil......

Hillary? Evil incarnate....period. Even the anti-Christ is afraid of her....
