FYI, I do love the thread title!! If she winds up flaming out again I will so enjoy the burning. I just can't stand that slimy, dirty, I'm above the law witch. My greatest fear is that she will be elected dripping with slime anyway only because a "D" is next to her name, because I don't think even most Democrats actually like her. Her whole aura is that of condescension towards the "little people".

We'll probably begin to see the democratic machine flip out if her poll numbers really start to slip. They pushed out anyone else who was feasible, and now its too late for them to run anyone else. The FBI reports are troubling to most of us with common sense, but thats not what they are freaking out about. They are getting nervous about how she handles questions on these topics. It aint pretty, and its a big turn off.

Yep. The GOP field got mocked for being too crowded. But what's overlooked is how the Democratic field was created to be a one-woman-show. They let a disposable, old socialist codger in there so there'd at least be someone else on a debate stage, but suddenly we have dog fight and no third option.

Uncle Joe now knows he would've gotten the nomination in a heartbeat.

I'm surprised Trump hasnt come out and said he attacked Hillary, her and Bill tried to attack him back, and now her poll numbers are dropping.

Biden was IMO, the best choice for the Democrats if something came back to bite hillary (as it appears is occurring... but again, sometimes the Teflon Bill affect covers her as well.)

I honestly don't think most of the Democratic base wants Sanders, and they basically asked Joe to throw himself out of the way for Hillary, which is coming back to hurt them.

This is like a game of poker, and Hillary and the person who looks like the lead singer of twisted sister has convinced the democrats to push all of their money in on Hillary, without seeing the cards in her hand. They acted like Hillary has a winning hand, and a powerful one with Bill around.

Now that the dems have pushed all their chips in the middle and its too late to pull them back, they are finding out that Hillary may hold nothing more than a jack high, and Bill was too busy chasing tail that he didnt even realize he had no cards in his hand.

It is kind of funny that what Trump has been saying is true. Whoever attacks him dips in the polls. Hillary has started attacking him.

(edit-see someone else was thinking the same thing).

Only the lunatic/ socialist influx vote.

The very thought that the dims left themselves this wiiiiiiiide open to a complete FAIL like this is astounding. Hilariously funny, but astounding.

Where's that bafugly chairmen chick eating oats through a barbed wire fence?!? Havent seen it in a while.

"Private e-mail server will remain private"

According to the latest NBC poll a lot more than 30% agree with him.

Iowa:
Sanders 51 Trump 38
Sanders 47 Cruz 42
Sanders 44 Rubio 44

New Hampshire:
Sanders 56 Trump 37
Sanders 55 Cruz 36
Sanders 50 Rubio 41



Oh what a complete fail!

One of you is talking about numbers in two particular states and the other is talking about numbers nationally...

Probably because it would be laughable to suggest that Trump has influence over Democratic primary voters.

Yeah, I could live with Hillary but Bernie is a whole other story. I guess this is what happens when the takers start numbering more than the makers. Luckily, I have an outlet to leave if the proverbial crap ever does hit the stands.

Iowa and New Hampshire are both purple states with a slight blue lean. Together they have 3 GOP senators and 1 Dem. Not sure about NH but I know in Iowa there are slightly more registered GOPers than Dem at the moment.

But as for national numbers, Sanders leads Trump by 13 in both the latest Quinnipiac and CNN polls, so no it's not a two state phenomenon.

That infograph is a perfect example as to why direct democracy would be the worst form of government in the history of the world.

Are you guys still forgetting that government is not one branch? Congress is still there and will most likely be Republican controlled.

Have a little ******* faith for once. Geez.

If Bernie won by 13 points, he would likely sweep both houses of Congress with him. In that case, the GOP would use the Supreme Court to block Sanders. Hopefully he'd pull an FDR and threaten to pack it if they become ridiculously obstinate.

I doubt it. We Americans may be stupid but we still don't go the socialist way.

This one will.

Why, because people would get to choose whom they want to represent them?

Bernie would get nothing done. Most of his policies wouldn't even get Democrats to vote in step.

He's too far off in left-field and his policies don't appeal to the people who matter.

No kidding. Why do Republicans hate democracy?
