Washington Post finally admits Hillary Clinton is winning by a mile



By Tim Martyn | September 15, 2015 | 9


This has been a summer in which the headlines from most major news outlets have either generically claimed that Hillary Clinton was struggling in the polls, or have focused in solely on outlier polls from individual states to try to paint a picture that she’s losing to Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden or both. This has all played out even as national polls have said all along that she’s leading the primary by twenty-plus points and is in no danger. But after a week in which news outlets finally began acknlowledging that Clinton’s “email scandal” was never a scandal, now they appear also ready to admit that she’s still winning.

The first major domino to fall yesterday was the Washington Post, which ran the headline “Hillary Clinton is still the candidate to beat.” This was no mere opinion piece, but rather a fact based argument that Clinton is still holding historically large primary leads. The Post acknowledges that not only is she winning by an average of twenty-plus points, the so-called erosion in her popularity is largely due to voter confusion over whether Vice President Joe Biden may enter the race. The article even goes on to point out the obvious, which is that based on Biden’s recent media appearances he very much sounds like someone who isn’t anywhere close to running..........

It basically tells how that graphic you posted is BS because it polls Biden. Add 20 to HRCs numbers.

95% of Biden support going to HRC. She got a 16 point bump, he took 3 points.

In the meantime, can you repeat again all your Republican talking points about how taxes are bad, the government isn't good at running anything, and how we really need deficit reduction?
