Love this! In Fantasy Run-Offs, Hillary Wins

"Neither her husband, nor George Clooney, Michelle Obama, Oprah or Al Gore would come close to challenging Hillary Clinton’s polling dominance for the Democratic Presidential nomination.

While Republicans wrestle to pick a favorite among 16 candidates, Democratic voters - facing a far smaller field - strongly favor the former First Lady and Secretary of State, even when presented with a fantasy list of notables, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll of 1,033 Democrats.

Hillary Clinton remains head and shoulders above her legitimate challengers and would thump Bill Clinton in a head-to-head contest if the Constitution were amended to allow him to run for a third term. But potential 'first gentleman' and former President Bill is the fantasy candidates who comes closest to his wife, at 26 percent compared with Hillary’s 51 percent....

Oscar-winning actor and liberal activist George Clooney? Just 10 percent would vote for him. Liberal darling and retiring 'Daily Show' host Jon Stewart? Sixteen percent. Oprah? 11 percent. Current First Lady Michelle Obama was second to Bill Clinton with 20 percent.

Former Democratic Presidential nominees Al Gore and John Kerry were in the 15 percent range. California Governor Jerry Brown and Julian Castro, the U.S. Secretary for Housing and Urban Development and a former San Antonio mayor, lingered in the 6 to 8 percentage range."

She would be "coroneted", just another shot in trying to bring her down. She is giving her policies and not afraid the current administration will pick off her plan, in other words she is putting her plan out before she is elected to see what the plans are. She will continue to work through her last day in office and I would bet she and Bill will continue their CGI after leaving office.
