Edwards was already out, though, when that story hit.

IIRC he was starting to pick up momentum and stealing mostly from her supporters as opposed to Obama's and then the story drops.

Have there been any polls comparing Hillary now to any of the non-orange candidates that lost? I don't think anyone runs these I'm just interested to see if she would be leading against Cruz or JEB! at this point had they won the nomination.

IIRC Kasich was the only one that presented a credible threat, and that's mostly because he was viewed as a generic republican by everyone.

Lol at the idea of Kasich being a threat. But seriously an unknown generic Republican bringing the heat to the dynastic figurehead who's been the presumptive 2016 nominee for 8 years is kind of troubling. If Trump wasn't the nominee we might have gone off the rails.

:ssh: generic politicians always polls way better than actual people since there is nothing negative associated with them :ssh:

True. Also I just checked the current favorable charts and the Republican field is just awful, even comparing to Clinton with a strong showing of -12. Trump is -24! Cruz is -24. JEB is -23. Christie is -18. Rubio is -11. And Kasich is sitting pretty at at basically 0. Lots and lots of winners this season.

(Note: I expect partisan politics to keep most politicians into the +/- 5 category, we just don't like our politicians)

Yup.

The fact that Clinton only has -12 across the sum of all demographics isn't surprising in the least bit after 25+ years of an entire conservative industry entirely dedicated to trashing the poo poo out of anyone with her last name.
