Hillary's Lead Disintegrates: She Is Now Doing Worse Than In 2008, As Trump Surges
Just when Hillary Clinton thought her political fiascoes would be the worst of her ongoing troubles as she glides through the Democrat primaries, and then takes on Trump sure to find a Warren Buffett-funded victory, suddenly everything appears to have gone wrong in what is most important to the scandal-ridden former Secretary of State and presidential contender: her second - and final - campaign for president.
According to WaPo, if one compares where Clinton is now in the Real Clear Politics polling average, the 2016 picture and the 2008 picture aren't really all that similar; in fact suddenly the trapdoor beneath Hillary appears to have sprung open. "Nationally, she was doing much better in 2008 than she is right now, perhaps in part because the anti-Clinton vote in 2008 was still split between two people -- Barack Obama and John Edwards -- instead of just one. But that recent trend line, a function of two new national polls that were close after a bit of a lull, is not very good news."
Not surprisingly, Clinton is trailing badly in New Hampshire, which is the home turf of her main socialist opponent. In 2008,
What little silver lining exists, is that in Iowa, Hillary is running a little better than she did in 2008, although as seen on the chart below even here her lead has plunged recently. In 2008 it wasn't until the last week that she fell out of the lead. She eventually came in third.
The problem remains the national race, and what's worse, if the 2008 past is prologue and if Hillary's lead in Iowa evaporates and she loses, it may be the end for the former first lady: back then she lost three-quarters of her lead after the caucuses although she did gain some of it back after her win in New Hampshire.
And while these numbers can easily change, one person who is certain to capitalize on Hillary's sudden collapse is Donald Trump, who as we showed recently has become the bookmakers' favorite after trailing badly as recently as September, even as Trump's republican competitors drop like flies on their own, the most recent casualty being Ben Carson whose campaign is all but over following news from CNN that Carson's campaign finance chairman Dean Parker submitted his resignation.
Finally, moments ago the WSJ reported that Donald Trump has opened a double-digit lead over his next-closest Republican rival, less than three weeks before the first votes of the 2016 presidential race are cast, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.
A third of Republican primary voters in the nationwide survey said they favored Mr. Trump to be the GOP nominee, followed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 20% support, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 13% and retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 12%.
In December, Mr. Trump had led the No. 2 candidate, Mr. Cruz, by 5 percentage points. In the new poll, his lead widened to 13 points.
And so what was considered humor by most pundits as recently as last summer is becoming an all too possible reality: president Trump?

Na nann na na!
My mama can beat up your dad.
There. Happy?
It's painfully obvious that the handle: "thebigunit" was given to you by a small friend.
Good! The wicked witch the east is dead.
I dont care what anyone thinks. I would never vote for a woman to be anything but a care giver.
Nature didn't give them a womb to become president of a country.
You can call me any name that you want, but the fact is, women are not suppose to be in charge of anything but care giving. < thats a period!
The politicans see them as tax payers. The bankers see them as debt slaves.
But natural nature made them as care givers. <thats a period!
the koran says women should be rspected as equals but specifically warns that women should not be judges because of pms. see, it's not all bad.
Talmud and Koran: two sides of the same.
So you write that nature didn't give women a womb to become president of a country? Well, nature didn't give men a penis to become president of a country, either. Clintoon's lack of penis control sure got, um, Presidential. And for such an UGLAY, skanky bitch, to boot.
If the mere fact that women have a womb (among other body parts) is your argument for "women are not suppose [sic] to be in charge of anything but care giving [sic]," then the logical correlation is, of course, the fact that men have a penis (among other body parts) is the argument for "men are not supposed to be in charge of anything but poking their penis into slits or sluts."
another woman posing as a guy on ZH.
har.
LoL! You're comparing a penis to a womb? You mean virgina, right?
I will say this. If a woman had only a virgina and a man only a penis, then ok. I would assume either one could be the family provider and leader.
But since a woman has a womb, I argue that a womans job is naturally a care giver and not a provider or leader.
Naturally speaking of course. In what animal kingdom do you see the female in charge of the pack?
However! The banksters and goobermints have built a world around them that requires all to work in order to serve them.
They broke the natural chain. and so, we hang by a thread.
oh yes guys have done such a great job as rulers through out the centuries...
There is still Sanders I am afraid. Another socialist.
I don't see Sanders as maliciously evil. Just misguided.
I dont trust him anymore. At first I thought same but after watching how he "cooperated" with Hilary I know better. She should be in jail and he intentionally cover her on stage. After that I watched his mimic more and realized the pattern. He is lying and is not a honest person mark my words. He will in fact crush middle class further and help rich even more - especially if you focus on his solutions rather than his ranting. But, he is really good at it so I can understand majority dont see it yet.
Sanders has chutzpah. It is all for his idea of the Internationale, the rootless cosmopolitans. He wants to rule. He doesn't care about the USA or the world. It is all for his own, nazionists, beholden to the City of London banks.
Socialists, communists, and 'globalists' are all the same thing: tyranny.
Who are you 'voting' for?
None of the above. I won't give them any support. What have they done for you lately?
No one will be able to stop this financial train from a catastrophic ending.
You're delusional if you think there is still a chance to right the ship.
Might as well get some good old handouts for the proles before the entire pile of shit blows up!
Orange is the new black Cankles. All I want from the Easter Bunny this year is to see this evil bitch perp walked by FBI agents to a cell.

That would warm the cankles of my heart.
Okay, folks.
On most betting and electronic market sites the Democratic chance of victory has been stalled in the 60 percent range for months.
That 60 percent is basically Hillary's chance. Sanders is not going to be the Democratic nominee unless Hillary is incapacitated or does something really idiotic. Obama was young, dark and handsome, appealing to non-whites and female low-info voters. Sanders is an old JINO with all the sex appeal of roadkill, and doesn't owe his career to Wall Street. Wall Street's real backup plan in that case would be a mainstream Republican nominee, with Sanders as the sacrificial Dem candidate.
Trump threw a spanner in the works, but he's not going to boost the GOP's chances of the White House while his nomination is in doubt. Right now his chances of the nomination are one in three and winning in November one in seven. Those chances are his chances of winning fraud-proof majorities in both the primaries and the election---15 points minimum.
Give me a break! Sanders is bought and paid for by the banks.
They're ALL owned by the banks.... jeez!
OK, Niall. I'll answer your whistle. Here it is:
If Hitlery or Tramp win, then the world will reject the USA. That's it. Game over. The City of London wins. You lose.
Gives me no pleasure to say that as an Anglo-American, currently in the UK which is more diverse than D.C., the district of criminals.
I am born and bred American; travelled much.
Do not vote this time. Show the world that you will not bow down to the corrupt, by whatever name they call themselves; demoncrap or repugnant.
3 down votes. That tells me that ZH is political, not sensible; indebted, not free.
Lawdy, lawdy. Give me someone to vote for or I shall surely die!!! Gimme that Talmud or I shall surely die!!!!
Fuck off.
"...unless Hillary is incapacitated". You mean like limited to one phone call?
I can dream too!
"Bath House, thanks for inviting me to lunch."
"What're ya looking at, Hitlery?"
"Oh, I was thinking about changing the curtains next year, say, what are those US Marshalls doing here?"
"They have some jewelry for you, Hitlery, a set of bracelets. Slap 'em on, boys!"
"You can't do this to me. I have your birth cert!"
"So what? I have dozens of those."
"Grrrrr!"
"Here's a dime, Hills. They serve a bag lunch on the jail bus."
Niall ... you are continually misquoting the odds. Trump is now 4.5 / 1 for Pres, Hillary is even money. BUt the thing is to look at the Trend. Trump is surging and Hillary is fading ...fast.
I don't know about the rest of you guys but I'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight. I was just thinking about asking "uncle" Warren for a loan. I don't suppose he's in the mood these days.
the cunt is every guy's blood sucking ex-wife. she can't win.
You want me to believe the Amerikan people are finally waking up?
To What? Trump?
Yep. Yes Sir They Are.
Including myself.
THE BUTCHER OF BENGHAZI DOESNT STAND A CHANCE!
I hope you're right, but somebody elected Barry......twice..
CRUZ has got to be the most itellegent person I have ever heard speak.
I like trump, but I watch him just for the entertainment.
CRUZ is actually a genius.
if you think cruz is smart you can't be very.
GENIUS CRUZ seems to have neglected to disclose the 1 million dollars that Goldman Sachs--his wife's bosses--gave him for his governor's race, as required by campaign finance laws.
After getting caught, he's getting 'round to it.
That's what the American people need in the oval office-an ethically challenged Goldman Sachs whore.
Cruz not only looks like a weasel, he is a weasel. He's got a reputation among the "conservatives" as the heir to Reagan. Yeah, and he's also got a "flat tax" planned that just so happens to include handing over an entirely new taxing authority to the federal government. Just what they need! Yeah, and it's a VAT tax at that, the tax of tyrants, nanny states and banana republics.
Cruz is counting on "conservatives" to pull the lever based on the buzz word "flat tax" to weasel the VAT tax in. And he's succeeding among a lot of them because today's "conservatives" are brain dead, especially on economics.
I'm looking at Trump for 4 reasons: 1) His tax proposal would be an improvement and is probably the best possible politcally until repealing the 16th Amendment is on the table. 2) He recognized that invading Iraq was a mistake, and spoke out at the time, and he's not afraid to continue to say so. 3) He realizes that the markets are in a bubble that's bursting. 4) I don't think he's bullshitting when he talks about taking care of veterans, and I think he has sound ideas how to do so although at this point he is light on details.
I'd put moar stock in him if he were not married to Goldman Sachs.
Go Trump!
People wonder, how the heck is Hillary still viable as a candidate?
Unfortunately, a fair percentage of the population have no moral scruples. And it has been that way for decades.
In 1979, Ted Kennedy ran against incumbent Jimmy Carter in the Demorcratic primaries, and received 30 percent of the vote.
Thirty percent of Deomocratc primary voters were willing to overlook Ted Kennedy's involvement in the drowning death of a young woman.
Unfortuantely, I don't think that Hillary will be charged with a crime.
However, frankly I would notbe surprised if her health derails her campaign. If she has just one fainting spell in public, it would be over for her.
The money power knows that most people are stupid, easily manipulated.
Keep the Constitution. Keep the guns.
"Involvement", I like that one...yes, we get the kind of government we deserve.
-------------TRUMP--------------
The ANGRY entertainer
SUMMARY: Hilla-roid is a piece of malignant, toxic, lying, pig shit. Only the even more obese Loretta keeps her out of prison.
here's a good story
http://sputniknews.com/us/20160115/1033160651/goldman-sachs-fined-over-s...
Debate crowd seems stacked against Trump and way overloaded for Rubio. Trump lines getting muted response - but Rubio's boilerplate comments have the crowd in a frenzy.
Much as I intensely dislike all zionist politicians, I must say this:
Rubio is a boy. Ted Cruz is a man.
That is all.
Woe betide the Americas, ruined by the nazionists who bribe or blackmail all national politicians all over the world, not just the USA.
End the Fed.
The Donald's platform is hatred and division.
Unfortunately, most Americans have come to hate the fact that their way of life (artificially enjoying a higher standard of living) is coming to an end, and fear of the unknown, so he's extremely popular.
His tax plans favor the top 1%, he won't be building a wall to keep out illegals that his businesses employ, and it's basically impossible (and worse than the internment of the Japanese in WWII) to expel all Muslims in the US (4% of the population).
The Donald talks a mean line, but he's not going to turn his back on the racketeering global banking cabal that helped him build his empire.
And he's cowtowing to Israel already.
Hillary's even worse, who knew that was possible?
All it takes is a national will to do so.
Standard Disclaimer: If you are going to vote, then whom are you going to vote for? I'm still deciding about the voting thing.
Don't vote. It only encourages the criminals. Show them the contempt they deserve.
Let the District of Criminals burn down, and then decide who to support, imo.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP SHOWING HITLARIES FUCKING FACE - STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!
