For Republicans, Hillary remains the candidate to beat: She outpolls them all. (Hillary Group)

WHEN Republicans last week held their kitchen-table “debate” for candidates who did not make the top ten in the polls according to Fox News that hosted and televised the event, you would have thought the occasion was specifically designated as a bash-Hillary Clinton affair.

Later the same night when the top ten candidates virtually traded insults among themselves, their common theme was how to mount a serious attack at Hillary Clinton’s bid for the US presidency.

From Donald Trump who dominated discussions, to Ben Carson, the only African American candidate on the stage who at one point wondered if the Fox News panel of moderators forgot about him, all but two of the candidates tried hard to demonize Hillary and inadvertently paid her tribute as the person to beat in the 2016 U.S. presidential election....

According to a (July) report by Real Clear Politics which calculated the average of six national polls that pitted Hillary Clinton against top Republican candidates, she will beat each one of them in the 2016 presidential election....

They know he hasn't got a chance. But Hillary is doing great. She has learned quite a lot from out savvy President. She is setting her own pace, controlling the message and letting the bullshit roll off her back. For gods sake, poor Bernie can't even handle a little push back from one woman before he collapses and runs off the stage. Faced with the entire republican party he'd wilt like a petunia!

I prefer my Presidents with brains, courage and the ability to fight for me!
