Thread: 2016 Democratic US Presidential Candidates

a remarkable fat man

According to the poll, 48% of registered voters say they would support support Christie, the Republican governor of New Jersey, if he were the GOP nominee, with 46% saying they would back Clinton, the former secretary of state, U.S. senator, and first lady, if she captured the Democratic nomination. Christie's 2-point margin is within the survey's sampling error.

Clinton leads in other 2016 showdowns

The statistical tie between the Garden State governor and the former secretary of state is pretty remarkable compared to how Christie's potential GOP rivals do against Clinton in the CNN poll at this early stage of the game.

Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the House Budget Committee chairman and 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee, loses to Clinton by eight percentage points. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky trails by 13 points. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a 2008 GOP presidential candidate, is down by 15 points.

And it doesn't get any better for the GOP from there.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who ran for the nomination in the last election, is down 17 points to Clinton; freshman Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas trails by 18 points ; Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rick Santorum, a 2012 GOP presidential candidate and former senator from Pennsylvania, are 19 points behind; and former two-term Florida Gov. Jeb Bush faces a 21-point gap between himself and Clinton.

It's too early, but I am precipitating towards Christie.

Enough of Bush and Clinton for me.

Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bush

Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state who leads all 2016 presidential polls, ranks dead last on a new top 10 poll of who Americans admire most, and at the bottom of who the world admires most, behind celebs like Angelina Jolie and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to the new YouGov.com poll conducted for the Times of London, Microsoft's Bill Gates is the most admired person in the world, ahead of Pope Francis and President Obama, the runner-up on that list. Clinton ranks 27th on YouGov's world list."

Must Really Hurt To Rank Below Dubya, Huh?

Now here's a Shocker!

Hillary Kept "Hit List" of People Who Didn't Endorse Her; Ranked People on "Loyalty Scale" from 1 to 7

This isn't the Hillary Rodham Clinton I know.

This is from a book called HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton:

For Hillary, whose loss was of course not the end of her political career, the spreadsheet was a necessity of modern political warfare, an improvement on what old-school politicians called a “favor file.” It meant that when asks rolled in, she and Bill would have at their fingertips all the information needed to make a quick decision — including extenuating, mitigating and amplifying factors — so that friends could be rewarded and enemies punished. ...

There was a special circle of Clinton hell reserved for people who had endorsed Obama or stayed on the fence after Bill and Hillary had raised money for them, appointed them to a political post or written a recommendation to ice their kid’s application to an elite school. On one early draft of the hit list, each Democratic member of Congress was assigned a numerical grade from 1 to 7, with the most helpful to Hillary earning 1s and the most treacherous drawing 7s. The set of 7s included Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), as well as Reps. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Baron Hill (D-Ind.) and Rob Andrews (D-N.J.).

Yet even a 7 didn’t seem strong enough to quantify the betrayal of some onetime allies.

So, how does MSNBC spin this?

These people are delusional...

"but... but... Christie is a HIPPO....


There I fixed that for you since we live in the same state

another poll out today,.........

Ted Cruz from 10 (Dec. 2013) to 5 (Jan. 2014)

^ Appealing that the 'undecided' or the new named 'None of the above' come out clear winners in the poll.

I am hopeful that the trend continues to rid the world of the 2 party political game.

^Mr. Lick a responsible/sensible third party in the states would be a change, but given the results of the question below (from the same poll released today) it might not be a good idea for the people in the states. It would be wonderful for the Democratic Party but would splinter a once respected Republican Party.

No country needs a Tea Party.

Given any president would want the full two terms I would not be surprised to see Hillary announce she will not be running. If she does so early enough it gives the Democrats enough time to build up their alternatives.

I would love that because it would open the door for Elizabeth Warren. She is a firebrand that could effect real change.

I see HRC as ambitious enough to run.

Can she garner enough broad support?

If she has plans she better have a committee doing research.

Want to know something scary? She may be the next president...

Well, the question still begs - what has HRC done in the past to be considered a valid candidate for higher office? Basically nothing other than being married to Bubba...

Yesterdays news.

But it doesn't matter, does it? All that matters is:

(1) That there is enough money to pay for the TV spots and the rest of the campaign, and
(2) That there are enough voters to get her past the line.

Which is essentially all the GOP care about for their own candidate.

I mean why the feck did you think Romney was fit to run the country? Was it his ability to do favours for his mates with taxpayers money, or his ability to evade paying taxes himself?

very likely. 4/8 more years of republican ineptness.
