(30,247 posts)Obama is underwater (his negatives are higher than his positives), Congress is in the basement and the Tea Party is in the 7th circle of hell.
So, according to you, voting for Hillary is akin to voting for some middle aged white guy? Of all the condescending comments!!! Hillary's run would be just as historical as it was in 2008. The problem that year is that so was Obama's. That won't be a problem in 2016. I have no idea whether she will choose to run again or not, but if she does, she will be a hell of a candidate.
BTW, since when are Democrats afraid to run a candidate because the RW nuts will oppose him or her? Obama was the one who kept promising to unite the country and look how well that turned out. The Clintons don't have those delusions, they know that they are dealing with junkyard dogs.
You posted the link, did you even read the article?
"Clinton's polling slide did begin around the time a supposed bombshell report, later debunked, claimed internal White House emails revealed a cover-up. And Gallup, which has also found Clinton's popularity on the decline, said back in June that congressional hearings into Benghazi had "called into question her leadership during her tenure at the State Department."
It's also possible Clinton is being dragged down by her former boss. Battered by the government shutdown and ObamaCare's terrible rollout, the president's approval rating has fallen to a record-low 42 percent, according to the same NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll."
