Is Hillary Struggling In The Polls A Fluke, Or Is Bernie The Real Deal?



Both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have been debating whether or not the Vermont Senator’s single-payer healthcare plan is possible – and the answer is that yes, it certainly is – but that seems to be the lowest thing on the list for the Democratic candidates at the moment.

The problem that Hillary Clinton has at the moment is that all of her problems from the past 6 months have come back, some of which because they were never properly handled by Clinton in the first place.

2. Her problems from the past, are not my issue with her, well for the most part.

She is not trustworthy, and she is not for the people. She told so many lies at that Town Hall in Iowa a few nights ago about her record it just underscored it for me.

She can't tell everyone what her actual policy is because protecting corporations, banks, oil companies is just not en vogue these days with the little people.

Or put herself and the rest of us through a Dukakis-style defeat this November. It's all about the independent voters, and they.can't.stand.her.

Not so with Bernie!

6. I agree. Not only do Indies despise her, the republicans will ALL come out in force.

As much as they despise tRump, they hate her more. If she is the nominee, we are looking at president trump. Period.

Just as Trumpolini is an ISIS recruiter's dream, so unfortunately is Hillary for a Rethug GOTV operative. It's just the way it is.

Seriously, it is probably going to be close in Iowa. Really close. Bernie doesn't have to win. He only has to come close for it to be a victory. Hillary doesn't just have to win, she has to completely dominate the caucuses and there is not a lot of possibility for that.


The idea that he would drop out is absurd. These people are deluding themselves.
