Democratic Buyer’s Remorse: Hillary’s Poll Numbers Against Trump Keep Dropping

[GoLeft TV]

There have been a lot of polls that have come out recently, and they all have one thing in common: Hillary Clinton is in trouble. Donald Trump is beating her in many general election match-ups, and it only looks like it’s going to get worse. Shouldn’t this scare us a little bit? Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. Great news!111! DUers have conclusively proven that Hillary's poor poll performance against

Trump means absolutely nothing.

Trouble is, it has been her consistent pattern to start high in polls, then go down, even just during her book tour.

But, don't worry about that. There will be plenty of time to fix it in December.

11. Funny how that works. I remember when Hill's polls meant EVERYTHING to her fans

but only until Bernie caught up with her, then ... meh.

[merrily]

16. Yeah, I know. There is, however, a difference in the two kinds of polls. However, at this stage,

when people think the two nominees have been chosen, the objection to "head to a head" poll makes less sense than objecting to them early on. Moreover, head to head polls are the ONLY indication of what might happen in the general before the convention.

2. Hillary will lose to Trump. Chaos will reign in the streets. It won't be pretty.

3. If only someone could have predicted this. n/t

[merrily]

17. +1

4. If she loses it will be because

People want change...the independents want change. And Hillary represents the establishment like none other...the dynasty problem.

The GOP should have been a clue...Jeb who was the equivalent of Hillary lost badly and dropped out.
And the only one who did well was the outsider...who has never held a political office.

Too bad we did not get the message.

5. So do you think the change that an idiot like Trump is promoting will be attractive to independents

or those on the extreme left?

Change for its own sake?

[ybbor]

6. No, I don't think indies will go to Trump

But I do think a lot will vote third party, or stay home.

[Thespian2]

8. Many will vote like me...

for the next best person, after Bernie, in the election...Dr. Jill Stein...

She also represents change...the other two candidates will continue the rule of the Oligarchs...

[JudyM]

23. I expect the Greens will get more votes in November than any 3rd party in our history.

[zeemike]

10. Well when faced with two unacceptable outcomes.

Sometimes a person will press the destruct button...because it seems like the only real choice you have.
It don't mean they like it, it just means change is better than continuation of the same thing you want to get rid of.

History if full of it.

13. Exactly . . .

. . . when asked to choose between dying instantly in a car that hits a brick wall at 90mph, and being in a car that does a slow roll down an embankment, resulting in multiple, painful, but not immediately fatal, injuries, then dying while waiting for help that never arrives, some will opt to put their own foot on the accelerator!

15. Right now she is losing independents

48% Trump 35% Clinton.

[merrily]

18. Apparently, only donors and media flocked to Jeb. The GOP did not put its thumb on the scale.

Maybe that will happen next time, or maybe they will see how furious Democrats are at DWS and the undemocratic institution of super delegates and let the people decide. Hard to tell.

[zeemike]

19. You are right it is hard to tell

But it may not matter at all which Republican wins...they can count on them all to "do the right thing".

And so Hillary as POTUS is no great threat because they can count on her too...especially if war is their next goal because as a woman she will have to prove she can be a war president, much like Thatcher.

The only real threat to the status quo is Sanders...he is too unpredictable for the PTB.

[Baobab]

20. No, he is predictably progressive- he's not a phony progressive

nt

[zeemike]

21. Yep, and that is what scares them.

[pa28]

7. Rec.

[99th_Monkey]

9. It's axiomatic: The more voters learn about Hillary, the less they like her, period

if the Dem primaries haven't taught us anything, they've taught us that.

[Herman4747]

12. HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS...

I'm not.
