Hillary Clinton’s Lead Gets Bigger As She Crushes Every GOP Candidate By Double Digit Margins

A CNN/ORC poll released on July 1st
finds Hillary Clinton crushing her GOP opposition. The survey tested Clinton against five hypothetical Republican opponents. The five Republicans pitted against Clinton in the survey were former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and businessman Donald Trump. Clinton holds a commanding lead over all five GOP hopefuls in head to head match-ups.

With registered voters, Clinton’s polling lead ranges from a 13 point advantage over Jeb Bush to a ridiculously lopsided 24 point margin over Donald Trump. She leads Marco Rubio by 16 percentage points, and she holds a 17 point lead over both Chris Christie and Scott Walker.

While Clinton has been the focus of considerable negative press coverage over the past several months, her standing against Republicans remains strong. The 14 candidate, and still growing, Republican field has taken on a circus like atmosphere. Yet, while each presidential campaign roll out generates a great deal of media attention, voters seem unimpressed with what Republican candidates have to offer.....

......Even the “more serious” Republican candidates like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker trail badly in the polls. Although polls this far ahead of an election seldom have much predictive value, they do illustrate that the GOP is not connecting with voters right now. None of the Republican candidates have gained enough traction to be considered competitive yet........................

and I agree that most average street people are now aware that Hillary is running. Here in Florida, most of my neighbors still haven't heard about Bernie (Sanders - they all know Bernie Madoff and that's what they think of when I ask).

We have an active home owner's association with LOTS of hard-core repubs, so I can usually hear what they are thinking. I believe there are a significant number of women who will vote for Hillary because of women's rights and education efforts.
The immigrant community around me are solid with Hillary right now.

The polls seem pretty consistent with my community.

I haven't seen this many dysfunctional people since my last family reunion.

Seriously.

There are so many of them, with no strong frontrunner.

It's like a soup of watered-down crazy, flowing right in front of our eyes.

Each day brings new cringing.

the Republican Party is completely off the rails.

A last gasp of the moneyed white man.

8 more years to continue and cement the legacy of Obama.....SCOTUS transformed.....the entire Democratic Party should unite around this fully qualified, fully vetted, First Woman
President....or let one of the dark horses with the dark thoughts slip in the back door....the danger is too great NOT to unite.

Republicans shitting their pants for the next year and a half as their White House dreams fade away...billions wasted on bizarre and juvenile Fox-inspired attempts at Clinton-bashing because....something, something, due to reasons and more reasons......Republicans totally decimated and into the dustbin of history, along with their ever-loving corporate media....isn't that a vision of the future we would all like to behold?

The only folk that matter, the voting folks, are now solidly, rock solidly, with OUR candidate, THIS candidate. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot if the overwhelming choice of American voters are made to change their minds because of a Democratic Party civil war.

He was about to trounce Obama and Hillary when he opened a mouth about how he was gonna break up the MSM. After that we got a crazy laugh and an angry candidate. Never underestimate the MSM.
