You are right she can hold her own against republicans, holding her own against someone far left of her will be a challenge. What card can she play against Bernie?
When we think of Hillary, we think of her as a totally laid-back person who just goes with the flow. ... right? 😉
Sander's makes his swings, she'll swing back, and we'll see how things goes.
Sanders is further left, but she can run on being more able to get-stuff-done fairly convincingly, IMO.

Interesting that he's tapping the family now, when early on he was running on "I'm not just a Bush, I'm my own man."
Both of the other Bushes in that photo knew how to run a political campaign ^^

Yea Bush is totally baby, on a long trail of tears, with his tail tucked between his legs going to cry to mommy and daddy, while simultaneous saying "Trump is a joke."
What a total sore loser.
If Bush drops out, Rubio will scoop up most of his votes and it might begin a domino effect whereby Rubio becomes the clear frontrunner, or at least the chosen one for establishment and moderate Republicans.
I honestly don't think Rubio would be the most terrible president. Obviously I'd prefer someone else, but at least I think he's sane and decently intelligent, and I don't think he's a scummy guy.

Not really, the people both Bernie and Hillary are fighting for are the true Moderates, the Left and especially Far-Left will vote for whomever has the "D" next to their name. Just like the Right and Far-Right will vote for the "R" on the ballot, regardless of which monkey in a suit it is.
Though I will say Trump is a wildcard, as I've heard from more than one Republican that they may vote Democratic, Independent or not vote at all if Trump should get the nom.
edit: My bad, you meant in the Dem nomination. Hillary will continue to use what she's used in the first debate, I'd imagine.

I wouldn't bet on anything at this point. All Bush needs is a few friendly billionaires to bail him out thanks to our ridiculous campaign finance system.
His message is not resonating with the public. Regardless of how much money he potentially has it's not working, he's cutting salaries.
Obviously he is in deep shit.

If his campaign finds a way to keep above water, he has enough endorsements and name recognition that he could get the nomination assuming other candidates like Christie and Rubio step aside or are forced aside.

Sooner or later Bernie or Hilary will have to buckle down harder and smear each other. I don't think Clintons questionable record wil hold up against his.

Christie just got kicked off a train for being a fat noisy fat man.
lol, you really don't like being honest
He was asked to leave the quiet car on a train, and did so promptly.
A witness to the scene said the following:
"Did he appear annoyed? Sure. Apparently having a shit logistics day & someone ****ed up. Was he screaming, causing a scene? Hardly."
