Poll: Clinton would crush Trump in general election

Hillary Clinton would crush Donald Trump in a hypothetical general election match-up, a new national survey found.


According to a Bloomberg Politics poll released Wednesday, Clinton leads Trump 54 percent to 36 percent in a contest between the two front-runners.

Also troubling for Trump, only 29 percent of likely general election voters nationally have a favorable view of him, compared to 68 percent who view him negatively.

Trump s favorability rating is at an all-time low in the survey, while his negative rating has gone up 13 points since November and has hit a new high.

Clinton is similarly under-water on favorability, with 44 percent saying they have positive view of her and 53 percent saying they view her negatively.

Hillary's campaign spends money efficiently. It raises less than Bernie but gets better results.

Hillary's campaign has effective gatherings. Smaller than Bernie's but she gets her message across effectively.

Hillary's campaign is winning the primary season. She has millions of more votes than Bernie and more delegates.


I think Hillary will make a very effective President. She knows how to put together a winning team.

Kamala Harris now has a Repub running against her for the Senate

Kamala Harris for Senate


Friend,

I have an important race update to give you.

A Republican millionaire made a last-minute decision to officially enter the California Senate race -- just as the deadline to file closed.

Now that we have an additional opponent, the stakes are even higher. People will be paying close attention to our FEC fundraising numbers.

The deadline for our first big FEC goal of the election year is in 8 days. We’re off to a good start, but our grassroots team has to be ready for anything. You can help us hit $50,000 with a $5 or $10 contribution.

I know $50,000 sounds lofty, but we have a lot of work to do in the coming months. With your continued support we can withstand any challenges that come our way.

Being prepared is what got us this far -- and it’s what will keep us surging ahead in the days to come.

Thank you,

Kamala

If ever we get in the position to do so, we need to have national

standards for elections. We need to prevent elections being rigged by anyone or organization.

Maybe a Constitutional Amendment establishing a right to vote.

Idaho tonight probably largest caucus in history 4 to 1 for Bernie

That per a reporter calling into MSNBC

I want to know.

Bernie has next to no path to the nomination given his delegate deficit. He needs to get 65% of remaining delegates to tie Hillary.

He isn't going to do that tonight. So tomorrow he will need a greater percentage depending on delegates won tonight. The number of delegates available keeps going down as do the number of state primaries.

All states award delegates proportionally. The states where Hillary has the biggest leads are closed primaries as is AZ tonight. Hillary has been getting a higher number of Dem votes than Bernie. He can't possibly win those states with a high enough percentage of delegates to close the gap. Hillary will get delegates in the states where Bernie wins. If the spread narrows it also opens back up larger than before.

If you don't accept the math then we have nothing to talk about.

If you do then why bash or presumptive nominee on this board any longer? Our mutual enemy is Trump or Cruz.

Why not bash them?

Maybe you support Trump or Cruz I don't know. If that is the case then shouldn't the rest of us put a stop to that?


We can retain the White House. We can retake the Senate and maybe even the House. We can have a liberal Supreme Court.

Bernie's revolution can continue. You can still build a movement for single payer and free tuition and everything else Bernie stands for. Hillary as President would not veto single payer if it got to her desk. Basically she stands for every thing Bernie does.

Our best chance for change begins when we begin to pull together to GOTV for November and for the off years too.


Bernie will be in the Senate as will Warren and I hope Kamilla Harris and Russ Feingold.

We need to stop fighting each other and man the phones for down ticket candidates so we can take back state legislatures. We need our people in charge of redistricting.

The narrative created about Hillary here this primary season is a false narrative. Supporting it only helps the right. They brought it here and many of us adopted it.

Do I want Bernie to drop out? Yes I do for the above reasons not because Hillary need him to to win.

If Bernie were in the position that Hillary is I would have the same feelings about him after much healing of the wounds inflicted here.

So how long until we start fighting the right instead of each other?

If you are one who won't vote for Hillary in the general you could change your mind or you could keep it to yourself since your taking yourself out of the game.

Does the DNC run the election in AZ?

A caller to Thom Hartman's show says the DNC and Hillary are turning away Bernie voters in AZ.

Thom told her not to get too much into conspiracy thinking but then said it is too bad if it were true.

The delusion could be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

On edit: she said if you are not on the voter rolls you are being turned away

Sanders has taken in $96.3 million and has spent $81.6 million. There are 4 months left until the

convention.

Given that he is behind in delegates and needs 65% of remaining delegates to catch Hillary, and given that the the percentage he needs goes up every time he he doesn't reach the amount needed, I don't think he will have cash enough to make it to the convention.

At least he won't be able to afford the campaign he has been running. He paid Ted Devine $850K for one month.

But maybe he can get people to fund a losing cause I don't know.
