I know it sounds terrible. But I'm not surprised it came out this way. Trump is playing the hard man and Hillary is the Iron Lady. If you're going to have a fight, might as well have the toughest, meanest fighers possible.

Il Donald is clueless

I wish the media wouldn't encourage behaving like a nation of cowards and silly billies.

woman who helped get us into this mess or the guy with a toupee who thinks that Mexicans are rapists and terrorists.

Well, what did Menken say so well:

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

given the pathetic Republican field, those polled didn't have much to pick from so they just chose the name they knew. Probably helps to explain Hillary's standing, too. The media and party honchos have all but crowned her while ignoring Bernie, so no surprise that she came out on top. Not in any way shape or form criticizing Hillary's supporters, but I do think name recognition was an important factor in the poll results.

Have amended the post to reflect that I was referring specifically to the R column. Sorry if I inadvertently offended you.

And people need to wake up.
Bluster and pouts are not a strategy.

Other than that & blowing up oil i dont know what he's suggested

It'll be h-u-g-e!!!

up the terrorism clusterfuck she enabled.

Lots of rhetoric on "tuff" coming up. We've been there and all it takes is an incident like this to bring out the hawks.

Rarely is the word "smart" used, only tuff!

How in God's good name can anyone expect Donald Trump to act even remotely competent in any sort of serious matter?

It's not surprising that Clinton, with all her credentials, would be a first choice. But the polling for Trump emphasizes the utter mindlessness of the ones who chose him as our terrorism fighter.

Neither of them thank you.

No NEO CONS need apply.

Of course I'll take Bernie over Hillary, but in a comparison of Hillary vs. Trump it's not even close. Trump doesn't have a damned clue when it comes to ANYTHING more involved than throwing around a few select insults at people who he feels are beneath him.

Just put on her crown and be done with it.

Spoiled rich brat that got sent to military school to tame his antics, and now he thinks he's Patton.

Mr Tough Guy when he is sending other people to fight and die for him. "Bring it on," said tough guy #1. What the hell, Trump doesn't care about the people he fires, the people who work for him, or the troops. If a few ants get squished, what does he care?

It's nice to see that 9.2% got it right.

Also nice to see that Americans still have that same regard for the Bush family name when it comes to keeping us safe from terrorists.

Especially since "none" wins by an 8 pt margin.

and trump is going to unfortunately do well because he is proposing solutions that will resonate with a lot of people. Our argument of passivity and love is not going to get a lot of public support.

Trump is loud and shrill and will voice what a lot of voters are fearing. He may win the election.

It was a kind of disbelief that when given the choice between the solution to the problems, or some loud and angry person, rational choice loses out, and a Hitler takes power.

coordinated attack aimed at riling up the racist bigoted assholes that as always prove what truly motivates them, and to not believe that every party has its share is the foolish part....the republicans simply have the most geographically ....

He makes bush look like a road scholar......bush 2

I've questioned some of his supporters, nothing, nada, zilch, that makes any sense.....

Trump will implode, he likely has already.

Trump won't either, and neither will Carson.

they would be the first to drop bombs instead of actually coming up with a plan.

The men seemed less likely to be able to deal with ISIS. When asked at the beginning Bernie gave his usual economic justice pitch.
O Malley was never in a federal government position.

The American people have spoken! It is a scientific phone poll after all, it must be right. Not like it was some Internet poll...

i can't believe their are enough stupid people in this country to make it happen but i may be wrong.

all it will take is one bomb going off in the USA though, and we'll have Republican domination with supermajorities for the next decade.

when it comes to foreign affairs.

I don't know how we've managed to avoid an all-out nuclear war till now.

Trump, on the other hand, is a megalomaniac bloviating windbag with zero governing experience.

Big Daddy and Big Mama will keep us safe. While Big Brother looks on benignly.
