(CNN)Americans don't agree on much in politics these days, but a new poll finds broad majorities in agreement that the front-runners for the Republican and Democratic nominations for president will wind up the winners in the end.
According to a new CNN/ORC poll out Monday, 84% of voters nationwide think Donald Trump will lead the Republican ticket in November, while 85% say the same about Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
..................
The Democrats
On the Democratic side, 51% say Clinton is their top choice for the nomination, 43% Sanders, that's about the same as in March. And enthusiasm for a Clinton candidacy has grown as her chances of winning enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee have increased. In the new poll, 41% say they would be enthusiastic about her candidacy, up from 34% in March. .....................

Get the corporate money including Hillary's corporate money out of politics.

(30,247 posts)Right there is the reason why Democrats in office are supporting Hillary. She has helped them win or retain their jobs. She has campaigned and fundraised for other Democrats. What has Sanders done since last summer to help Democrats to make gains in Congress?
JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)That's called corruption -- it is one aspect of corruption.
Get the corporate money out of politics.
Get Hillary's corporate money out of politics.

(30,247 posts)Democrats help other Democrats. How do party leaders help the new crop of Democrats? They campaign for them and fundraise to help them in their race against Republicans.
How else does anyone get elected? If money equals corruption, then how come Sanders has raised so much money for his campaign?
JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)When large amounts of money come from corporations and the wealthy rather than from ordinary citizens, that equals corruption.
And when a politician like Hillary takes money whether for speeches or as donations from the corporations, the business interests, and hands it along to senators like Al Franken and representatives and others in politics, that's corruption multiplied many times.
Hillary practices corruption and calls it politics. That's what Tammany Hall was about.

Esprit de corps.
As you point out, Hillary Clinton already has the backing of most Democrats in office, and she in turn will do all she can to back them, as well as to add more Democrats to office--turning all areas as blue as possible--the path of progress.
It will be wonderful to watch many Republican obstructionists/regressives pack up and leave. Can't wait to watch them go.

Hillary's and Obama's policies in Syria are costing lives and creating refugees.
Read Seymour Hersh on this topic.

(14,173 posts)The two front runners will eventually square off?
A superfluous poll, only done to further pound home the end game and catapult the propaganda. To help dissuade a few more Democrats that once were planning to vote Hillary and may be now leaning to Bernie, as thousands of others have done as they have gotten to know more about both Clinton and Sanders.
Sanders has a slim hope already, the MSM is just running around plugging all the holes to make sure there will be no surprises, no matter how unlikely.
