A little over a week ago, Hillary Clinton adopted a new strategy. She began saying outrageous things about Republicans so that she could be in the news about something other than her illegal email activities, her illegal disclosure of classified national security information or her slush fund/foundation. Hillary has called Republicans terrorists, Nazis, and other choice names. There's been coverage in the media, just as she hoped. It is not working, however.
The Iowa Poll was released today. It is taken by Bloomberg and the Des Moines Register. Hillary is still leading among Democrats, but here's the problem: her lead over Bernie Sanders is down to 37 to 30%. That's right, the "inevitable nominee" Hillary Clinton can only get 37% of the vote in a poll in Iowa against an aged, white haired Socialist and some other non-entities. Three months ago, Hillary's numbers were 20 points higher.
We can all see the trend here, and it isn't good for Hillary. But forget the trend. If the race remains basically a two person fight, Hillary would probably lose if she only got 37% of the vote. That's how bad things have gotten for Mrs. Clinton.
In order to abandon Hillary, the Democrats involved necessarily decided they could no longer support her. Sure, there could be a sudden surge of support for Sanders, but his numbers did not go up as much as Hillary's went down. Does she really think that people will come back to her if she just says outrageous things about the GOP? Won't she need to have an answer for the email/foundation/corruption charges? We'll see, but it's looking more and more like it's going to be back to Chappaqua (or prison) for Hillary.
