Hillary Clinton has rebounded in the Democratic presidential primary, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday. The big takeaway: She has expanded her lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders from 18 points in September to 31 points this month.
...........
Even better for Clinton is that her comeback is fueled by rising support among groups from which she lost the most support over the summer to Sanders and Vice President Biden: Women, whites and older Democrats. These groups come from demographics who are among the most likely to vote in Democratic primaries and caucuses next year.

(92,187 posts)before the Kangaroo Benghazi court hearing tomorrow, and that could help her, but it could also work against her if she isn't well prepared. If Biden enters the race it could impact her, or at least slow down her momentum, though I don't think it will be significant. However, the media is trying to setup a feud between Biden and Hillary, and she should avoid that trap, especially in regard to personal attacks.
Biden is coming out backtracking on his version of bin laden, and the media appears to be trying to setup a controversy between her and Biden on this. She should NOT fall into that trap, or her campaign has the danger of falling into the same situation that is occurring with Jeb Bush, where bush kept bringing up how his brother protected us during 9/11, and Trump hit him hard. Unless, bush can get out of that rock he set for himself, its over. In a similar way that is why Hillary needs to be careful, and avoid that can of stuff, such as Joe said he wasn't against the bin laden raid, and Hillary said he was. That one should be easy to handle though. It is Joe then verses Joe now, and Hillary doesn't need to engage on it, and use the strategy Bernie uses, that I want to talk about issues that affect all Americans.
