    I have already pointed to poll results earlier in the thread that contradict the one you posted a link to. The poll you linked to was a telephone poll of one thousand people, two thirds of which were on mobile phones with a 3% +/- error. I don't have much faith in Fox news polls.

    It's all change now anyway after Trumps comments. A clever move by Trump, it will massively raise her profile but it may turn away some Dem voters.

    Mmm. Do I believe the guy talking out of his ass or the guy who backs up his assertions with sources?

    I dont understand the Democrats. Biden is such a weird, sleazy, creepy old schmoozer and Warren comes off as a hysterical neurotic and lying oddball. Can these really be their top available options?

    I know, it's like they want Trump to be re-elected.

    You make a great point. Trump knows (especially after his comment about the wall) that what ever he is for or like, the Dems will be against or hate.

    I had a look at the economist website and they have her at less than 1% too. You should link your sources.

    "May not be a russian stooge"
    That's not what I'd call credible or unbiased either.

    I think you're seeing bias where none exists and conspiracy theories everywhere tbh.

    Clinton/Obama Derangement Syndrome is as debilitating as Trump Derangement Syndrome you know. ;)

    IRony is , Gabbard is someone that could actually beat Trump if the party and MSM got behind her.


    This. She is clearly the best candidate if you dont want wars. However, the dems are yet to meet a war they dont like so they are pushing Biden (who, let's face it is a crap candidate), Warren (an absolute weirdo who constantly lies) or Kamala Harris (another fruitcake neocon wrapped in a progressive blanket).



    If you think someone saying that war is wrong makes them a "Putin puppet", then frankly you are way too far down the wrong path and need to get a grip of yourself.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,308 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    Seems the Democratic MSM and the Twitterverse all hate her. Yet she ticks all the diversity boxes: she's ethnic Samoan, a woman, anti war and Liberal on spending. There have been several hit pieces on her being a Russian spy and an Assad lover among others, which are utterly ridiculous.

    Then there was Google shutting down her Google Ads account right after the first debate, depriving her of funding.

    The only thing I can see is that she's against third term abortions... A pretty reasonable stance assuming she excludes FFA from that (I haven't checked).

    The only other thing I can see is that she is a very beautiful and fit woman, and actually comes across as genuine so doesn't fit the feminist penis envy archetype, but is an actual strong woman. Also she doesn't play identity politics like the rest of them. Thoughts?

    She doesn't conform to what they expect her to be.

    To the activist left group in the Democrats, non conformity to their analysis is a great wrong.

    Bit of that in the rest of the party as well.

    Sleazy, creepy, neurotic, lying. Maybe they want to fight fire with fire..

    Fox news is considered an A level rated poll along with Marxist, Quinnipiac and NBC/Wall Street Journal.

    I do not see anything changing much. She clearly has zero chance of winning primary and can't now run as third party candidate after outing herself.

    She also has issues now as the progressives are going to challenge for her house seat in 2020.

    The best candidate if you don't want war is Sanders clearly. His anti interventionist stance hasn't changed in three decades.

    But the Dems dont want Sanders either. They rigged 2016 to stop him and to push their pro-war candidate Clinton. I would have no issue with Bernie taking the nomination and i think he could give Trump a good rattle. But i also have a suspicion that, when it comes down to it, Bernie will cave to the nefarious interests in the Democrat party. The fact he is all in on the Russia collusion hoax shows that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,308 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    Sanders isn't getting any where near enough support to strike for President.

    The heart attack was just the icing on the cake.

    Would have to get on Warren getting it, momentum building for her.

    Her or Biden, it's a 2 horse race now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,015 ✭✭✭✭James Brown


    Gabbard is a right wing Democrat. The U.S. needs a left leaning politician. Clinton seemed sad and petty talking about her. Clinton is like the conservative ghost of elections past.
    It's looking like Biden. He might even get a few sympathy votes from the Trump assassination attempt.

    Love Bernie, but ain't never going to happen.
    Unless the Republicans grow a conscience and ethics, Trump is still a strong contender.

    As it says above
    Economist/YouGov
    You have all the details you find it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,424 ✭✭✭notobtuse


    Am I correct in regards to Hillary Clinton that her ‘Vast Right Wing Conspiracy’ is out, and in is Russian assets Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein being groomed to destroy the US by running as third-party candidates? If ‘the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long’ is thinking of jumping in the race for POTUS again, she is going about it rather oddly by smearing someone one of her own. Gabbard is a fighter and giving it right back to Clinton, even though she has no chance in the primary. But I do admire Gabbard spunk although her politics are rather rubbish. John Kerry is probably thinking it's time to report for POTUS duty again with such a week Democratic field and Clinton going nuts. But he may have problems with the Logan Act recently if he is thinking of jumping into the race.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    That poll projects itself to have a 3.1% error and was taken of 1045 registered voters and it was web based. Didn’t you just **** on a poll with less error?

    As I posted, Clinton sounded petty and sad. She has absolutely no hope. I kinda hope she throws her hat in the ring, it'll show up the Democrats who support her run as the self serving people they are. I can't see anyone genuinely believing Clinton is a good choice even if they thought she had a chance against Trump, which she doesn't.

    I shat on a poll from Fox News which was carried out mainly on mobile phones. I didn't think you would support them.
    I referenced a poll from a respected source.

    Part of her must think about entering the race as she watched the last debate.

    The depth is not there.

    I doubt she will but we might see a late entrant try get the nomination.

    I disagree, I think Gabbard does have a growing chance.
    I recommend this interview;
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbXfsaJ8krw

    There is a longer version that drills down more into her policies from the same source.

    Carried out mainly on web browsers with a higher error so how is that more respected?

    Really?

    Really?

    Frankly, no. And your contention wasn’t because it was a “Fox” poll, it was because the error rate was [less than the yougov poll] and because it was carried out via mobile phone whereas yougov was handled by a browser page.

    Don’t see a problem with it then. Now the cell phone blustering you did just looks childish.

    She’s the logical choice of sane Democrats... but unfortunately the primaries are controlled by the progressive extremists and media activists. The DNC and the mainstream media have been ignoring Gabbard for months. She’s running a classy campaign, she’s civil, and she understands the detrimental impact the radical left's unmerciful attempts to overturn the 2016 election and destroy Trump will actually have on the voters. The Democratic party and their medial handmaidens can have none of that. The fact that the DNC is giving Bernie Sanders, who is not even a member of their party more love than Gabbard should tell you everything you need to know.

    I don't blame them for backing Bernie, he's one of the few with an actual chance.
    The GOP is as rotten, if not more so than the DNC.
