Seeing as how GOP can't show any sane candidates Hilary's victory is almost guaranteed.

Hillary's popularity has dropped. And she has literally nothing to run on. She hasn't made any great accomplishments.


And the republican choices have what exactly?

The only exceptions have been Truman and LBJ and they got into the Presidency by other means.

its not in the bag, for sure. but the support of Hillary was very shallow last time and it is much stronger this time. she'll have to work for it but I think she can do it.

of course if an actual sane candidate emerges from the republican field--I have no idea who that would be but there must be a few sane republicans left--she would also have to run a perfect general election campaign to win.


Indeed. Before the big thing was "SHE HAS NO FOREIGN EXPERIENCE!!!!!"

Considering the meat sacks the republicans are going to field, she has a pretty good chance.

Then again it's the Demos choice to loose it and they are pretty good at that.

No, he should abstain from ruling on the case.

Her sales are dropping pretty radically along with her popularity.

It's funny how Hillary supposedly has nothing to run on, yet the Republicans are so scared of her they were chanting "Benghazi" over and over like they thought they were a Native American tribe.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.
