Something is terribly amiss within the Hillary Clinton campaign these days.

They know it. Their supporters in the Mainstream Media know it. The DNC knows it.

And so too does Hillary Clinton herself know it.

With the General Election race not yet officially underway, Team Hillary is dealing with an increasingly unpopular candidate with a very weak base of support upon which to build a national campaign and despite hundreds of millions of dollars at the ready to make her more appealing, voters so far appear reluctant to give her much attention and even less respect.

Mrs. Clinton is looking very much like her political establishment counterpart, Jeb Bush.

And like JEB!, Hillary faces the political grassroots phenomena that is Donald Trump.

For months the Mainstream Media and politicos from both parties attempted to convince the American public Trump was not electable. Trump defeated his GOP primary rivals one by one until he it was he and he alone left standing – persistent critics be damned.

These same critics warned Trump could never defeat Hillary Clinton in the General Election, but more recent polling shows Mr. Trump enjoying a continued popularity surge while Mrs. Clinton finds herself losing yet another primary battle to 74-year-old socialist, Bernie Sanders.

Trump and Clinton are already at a statistical dead heat in a head-to-head match-up, but momentum is clearly on the side of the New York billionaire.

Yesterday’s West Virginia Democrat primary gave the Clinton Camp even more heartburn-inducing statistics. Perhaps the most telling and daunting of these was the fact a third of Democrats indicated they would vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the General Election. (And remember, this is a state Hillary thumped Barack Obama in during the state’s 2008 primary race)

A THIRD.

That is the kind of crossover voter appeal that more than rivals that of Ronald Reagan, whose two General Election victories were of historic landslide proportions unmatched by any other modern era candidate. The polling data also indicates that women are not flocking to Hillary as the Hillary campaign had hoped they would. In fact, despite months of negative media portrayals regarding Trump’s alleged lack of popularity among female voters, actual election results show women voting for Trump at a ratio comparable to other past GOP candidates.

In short, Donald Trump continues to build upon his success in what was a very competitive and volatile GOP primary battle and is poised to potentially crush Hillary Clinton in the General Election.

There are months yet before the November vote of course, and the Clinton Machine, however reduced from the days of its former and formidable glory, remains an entity capable of a comeback.

‘Small Window’ Remains For An Independent Run



#NeverTrump Republicans are still searching for someone to run against Donald Trump, the likely party nominee. Yesterday Ted Cruz, who dropped out of the race last week, ruled out running as an independent. A third-party candidate has never been elected President of the United States.

Ballotpedia’s Sarah Rosier tells Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson that there is still a small window of time for an independent candidate to put his or her name on state ballots, but there’s a developing split in the #NeverTrump movement that makes it less likely that Republicans against Trump will settle on a candidate to run against him.

Interview Highlights: Sarah Rosier

Is there still time for an Independent candidate to qualify for the ballot?

“There is a small window still left, but it is closing very quickly.”

How long is left?

“Well Texas has already technically had its filing deadline pass for independent candidates on Monday, that was two days ago, so we’re looking at now a few filing deadlines still to come in June, but largely it takes a strong organization in every state to pull these required signatures, so we have a few weeks here where candidates can get organized, but a lot of upcoming deadlines and a lot of signatures to collect in the meantime.”

There have been talks that Texas’ deadline could be challenged in court. Is that true?

“There is. We saw the case Anderson v. Celebrezze in ’83 it was decided by the Supreme Court, and that had filing deadlines in mid-March that were overturned, including Ohio’s, the big one that they were challenging. John Anderson was an independent candidate in 1980 and he did manage to get on all 50 ballots by challenging these early filing deadlines, so we have seen this precedent, but it would be a hassle for any candidate.”

What was notable about Anderson’s run for the presidency?

“It is significant that he was on all 50 ballots, especially for an independent, unaffiliated candidate. For much of election history, we see that a lot of the smaller, third-party candidates who are even the Libertarian or Green party, they almost have a leg up. They have this party organizing system behind them and I think its 17 states where, if you belong to one of these third parties, be it Libertarian, Green or Reform, you can have a quick fast-track to get on the ballot. So if you do become the Green Party nominee, Jill Stein will already have the advantage of being on 17 ballots because the state recognizes the party.”

But a third party candidate has never won the presidency.

“Correct.”

Is it likely the Libertarian Party will be on the ballot for all 50 states this election year?

“They are predicting they will be on all 50 ballots, so that will be interesting especially in this current context that we have, where we see a lot of the, what I call, ‘conservitarians’ who may be members of the Republican Party, but they are dissatisfied with their nominee, or presumptive nominee in Trump. They are looking to the Libertarian Party, so if they are on all 50 ballots, they could pull a significant number of votes from Mr. Trump.”

Might the Green Party be a factor for Democrats this year?

“Yes. The news has been focusing on the anti-Trump feelings in the country, but there is also going to be that in a very big way on the Democratic side, even in April. Again, Mr. Sanders is still running, but in April Bernie Sanders supporters said they would not support Hillary in November. So this is going to be an increasingly dissatisfied electorate. As candidates stay in longer, a lot of times their supporters become more entrenched with their particular candidates. We could see that number increasing for the Democrats as well, and there has been, if you’re looking at social media or talk to some of the really staunch Bernie Sanders supporters, Jill Stein could be a factor this year.”

Cokie Roberts was asked to comment on NPR about how Republicans would now switch over and vote for Clinton...

She said...

Well, I think the Democrats have to be very, very careful about this because they think that this is much more widespread than there's any evidence to show. And Donald Trump has surprised people all the way along the line. I mean, now he is the presumed nominee.

And, you know, if you had asked anybody in Washington that question a year ago, they would have laughed at you. And so I think that the notion that Democrats think that they can bring over a bunch of Republicans and that Hillary Clinton will have an easy path to the White House is very, very foolish.

It will be interesting to see if this holds true.

Key word presumed.

There is a good chance Trump will fall short of the 1,237 delegates needed. ;)

He is currently at 1,134, I guess California and Florida will tell all.

Yes, Trump could still lose

I wouldn't bet your poutine on it though.

Well I hope you elect him.. because the world will be laughing at the USA as a joke..


What the new Muslim mayor of London has to say about Trump

Paris mayor: Donald Trump is "stupid"

If you think that Trump will make Great Again, you are mistaken. It will become a joke and lose respect worldwide. Anti-American sentiments will rise..

The USA is Great NOW, and the people are what the United States Great... NOT Trump.

They've had lousy President's before just as we have had lousy PMs. As long Trump doesn't actually nuke someone America should survive him too.

It's not a good sign for Trump, if she's still winning while competing with Sanders.
