2016: Time To Start To Worry?

Think back about 6 months ago and the beginning of this process…..in those days it was a given that Hillary Clinton would be the Dem nominee……and the focus was on the multitude of wannabes in the GOP……slowly but slowly Bernie has been making in-roads in the primaries and into the hearts of the voters….

Since he entered this race Bernie has gotten no breaks from the toads in the media…….now he is getting a little more attention because he is rising in the polls and in the minds of Americans…..

The time has come for the Clinton “nasty” machine to kick in….why is that?

….(sound the horns….let the peasants dance)…….

This is not the February that the Clinton campaign was expecting. After Hillary Clinton’s overwhelming loss to Bernie Sanders in the New Hampshire primary and just before the Nevada Democratic caucuses, she has fallen behind in a national poll for the first time. According to the latest Fox News poll, Sanders has gained 10% and is now leading Clinton 47% to 44% among Democratic primary voters nationwide. The poll found that while either Democrat would defeat GOP front-runner Donald Trump in a general election, Sanders would cruise to victory with 53% to Trump’s 38%, while Clinton would have a much narrower margin of victory at 47% to 42%.

“One thing that is clear from our poll—and others—is that Clinton has been losing support and Sanders has been gaining,” pollster Chris Anderson says. “And this process appears to have accelerated since the contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.” In CNN‘s “Poll of Polls,” Clinton is still ahead, with 48% to Sanders’ 42%, which is down from the 17% lead she enjoyed before the Iowa caucuses. But in South Carolina, which holds its Democratic primary on Feb. 27, Clinton is still way ahead with 56% support to 32% for Sanders, which analysts say reflects the strength of her “firewall” of minority voters. (For the first time in months, Trump has also fallen behind in a national poll.)

I realize this is only one poll….but Bernie is rising and the Clinton machine will go out of their way to push the negativity….

What price will Hillary be willing to pay to win?

Watch for attacks on Bernie as NOT being a Democrat…….if that does work then watch for the use of the “S” word……..

Hillary cannot play second fiddle…..again!

  1. RE: ” … Hillary cannot play second fiddle…..again!…” (Should play second fiddle whether she can or not! There is no need for a regression in America at this point. There is also something to worry about when we are hearing all the praise for policies implemented by The Obama Administration. We do not need status quo right now … we need newness … we need forward thinking … we need progression. The Clinkdon Campaign does not sound like that to me. Besides I am not waiting with bated breath for America’s first dual presidency.

  2. I weighed the cost/benefit value of whether to comment on such a farcical set of circumstances (which seems the kindest way to describe the 2016 election in the US…), & decided, upon seeing the results, to forgo commenting today on this. I’m not particularly business-minded, but, there seems to be little profit in heaping more shit onto what is already a huge pile of already smelly crap…
