I wouldn't get your hopes up too high yet. According to their own admission, the poll sample included about 30% more Democrats than republicans.

The problem, as I see it, is that most people are not familiar with many of the candidates on the Republican side. Most people have no idea what Christie, Kasich, Paul, Rubio or anybody not named Trump stands for. The Frump has been sucking all of the oxygen out of the room and after the first few primaries Trump will most likely fade away and people will start to look much harder at whom they are v****g for. If either the Frump or the Hildabeast get elected I will have to admit that I was wrong, it actually could get worse than Obama.

The B******i Hearings really thrust her into a even higher level of prominence for people too. She really made herself look like a person that can handle extreme adversity without cracking.

I don't. It was just a link to a poll.

I understand your point of view. Give months to prepare and being questioned by i***ts helped her immensely. She had a few gaffs during the last debate though and is vulnerable when she has to think on her feet. The press will be much harder on her during the general e******n and one on one with somebody not from her party the questions will be much tougher. It should be interesting to watch.

And the B******i commission hasn't even finished questioning a whole slew of folks, nor had a chance to go over countless emails that are being doled out slowly....drip, drip, drip!

They can't get put of their own way. The liberal Detroit Free Press has the right idea. Please read this and give feedback if you think this is a good solution.

With Hillary Clinton running for president, it is hard to keep separate legitimate questions about whether her unorthodox email practices while secretary of state c*********d national security from the partisan mud-slinging that comes with a political campaign.

Likewise, as the likely Democratic standard-bearer and former cabinet officer in the Obama administration, it is a stretch to assume the Justice Department will do a vigorous and impartial investigation into the email controversy and be entirely forthcoming with the results.

For the sake of everyone’s credibility, a special prosecutor should be appointed with the tools to quickly answer the questions before the p**********l primaries begin.

That’s not a lot of time. The urgency of getting to the bottom of this argues for the tools a special prosecutor can bring to a probe.

Despite Clinton’s insistence that she did nothing out of the ordinary, a federal judge ruled in a Freedom of Information Act case Friday that she had violated government policy by storing official messages on a private server. He ordered the State Department to work with the FBI, which is probing whether national security has been c*********d.

An investigation should include the deposing of Clinton, who has been caught in one deception after another in trying to explain away the private email account over the past several months.

Her lack of veracity mandates that she be placed under oath and asked the questions any other government official would be asked in a similar situation. Her standing as a p**********l candidate should afford her no special privileges.

As much as Clinton tries to dismiss this as a politically-driven attack, the facts and her own actions suggest otherwise.

Clinton stonewalled for months on turning over her emails, and only did so on the order of a judge. Even then, she scrubbed the server of half of its 60,000 emails, and gave a back-up thumb drive to her attorney, in violation of security protocol.

For months she claimed to have kept no classified information on the server. But inspectors general for the intelligence community found 40 pieces of classified material in a small sampling of the emails that remained, and concluded as many as 1,500 emails may have held national secrets.

Others have faced criminal prosecution and were convicted for far less careless handling of classified information, including Gen. David Petraeus, who shared secret material with a biographer who had a security clearance.

FBI agents are trying to reconstruct some of the deleted emails, and may or may not be successful. Clinton should be asked under oath what those emails contained, and why she deleted them.

She should also have to answer why she willfully violated State Department rules in maintaining the unsecured private server. What was she hiding?

It’s unfortunate the investigation is unfolding in the heat of the p**********l campaign. But Clinton brought that on herself by not being forthcoming when the private server was discovered.

Those investigating Clinton’s use of the server and whether she c*********d national security in doing so should not have to worry about being throttled by politics. The only way to assure that is to appoint a special prosecutor.

She's is the queen of liars.
If she can't protect 4 at B******i, as Sec. of State she was a total failure.

I suppose she prepared an e-mail to Chris Stevens , warning him of the video, but forgot to hit send.

Oh that's right she successfully dodged all those snipers in Bosnia.

I have no doubts that Obama and the Justice Department under Loretta Lynch will find some way to excuse Hillary from her breaches of National Security, either by a P**********l Pardon, or by just announcing that they will not do anything about it, just like they did with Lois Lerner at the IRS. Only trouble is that the public at large knows better, and many people at the FBI and CIA do not go along with Obama's shenanigans and they will leak all sorts of information about their investigations, whether Obama likes it or not. Hillary will be running under such a cloud of suspicion that she won't have a chance. Polls already show that she is losing almost every race against hypothetical Republican Candidates and Americans don't trust her by wide margins.
