Thread: 2016 Democratic US Presidential Candidates

Cheat Sheet - The Daily Beast

The most popular general among Republicans since Douglas MacArthur has nice things to say about the next likely Democratic presidential nominee. David Petraeus said Hillary Clinton would make a "tremendous president" in a new book simply entitled HRC. “Like a lot of great leaders, her most impressive qualities were most visible during tough times,” Petraeus said. “In the wake of the Benghazi attacks, for example, she was extraordinarily resolute, determined, and controlled.” At the time, Petraeus was head of the Central Intelligence Agency. After he quit over marital infidelity, Clinton sent him a note: "I have a little experience."

How will the right wing fever swamp spin this one? Oh, I know. Pivot to Vince Foster and blah blah blah.

Even the Rethugs hate ‘im. Well, maybe not the far right teabagger loons.

Bwahahaha!!! Fekking brilliant! The RethugliKKKan Convention is going to be funny as hell! Can't wait!

Another poll and Cruz is holding that notable spot of the village idiot.

Ohio voters say 55 - 39 percent that Clinton would make a good president. No Republican listed gets a positive score on this question, as even Gov. Kasich gets a negative 34 - 47 percent. Christie gets a big negative 31 - 48 percent, compared to a positive 44 - 32 percent November 27.

"The George Washington Bridge is not in Ohio, but voters there seem very aware of its traffic problems - and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's traffic problems," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "When Quinnipiac University asked Ohioans in November about Gov. Christie vs. Secretary Hillary Clinton in a 2016 White House race, the two were in a dead heat and voters thought he would make a good president. Today, she enjoys a comfortable double-digit lead and voters say Christie would not be a good president."

What will also be entertaining is the Republican debates leading up to the convention, the questions the moderator might ask and each of the rethugs on stage trying to out crazy/right one another.
