Hillary Clinton is now commanding well over half of her party's vote and continues to lead lagging Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by 20 points in their race for the Democratic 2016 presidential nomination.

A recent CBS/New York Times polls finds the former First Lady and Secretary of State snaring 52 percent of the vote to Sanders' 32 percent and just 2 percent for former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.

Research shows Clinton holds comfortable margins among many of the most key demographics, among them women, men, liberals, moderates, non-whites and voters over the age of 45...................

1. Clinton has a clear plan and it is a message we can see happening.

Rebuilding our infrastructure will be a good start.

2. Ya gotta love

the false sense of security. The next 4 months will be intensive. That's when it broke open 8 years ago.

[pnwmom]

3. It broke open when Obama won S.C. and sweeping the southern states. Can't see that happening

with Bernie. South Carolina was the game-changer for Obama.

Obama won with overwhelming support from African Americans and attracted about a quarter of the white vote, according to exit polling.

4. March 2 it will be over for Sanders for sure--if not before.

[SmittynMo]

5. That's almost comical

Did you miss the "false sense of security part?

[LanternWaste]

30. I read that as 'unsupported allegation lacking any analysis.'

"false sense of security part"

I read that as 'unsupported allegation lacking any analysis.' But hey... whatever we need to tell ourselves is fine and dandy.

[Hissyspit]

6. You say that like it's a good thing.

Bernie would make a far superior President. And that's just the truth.

[cstanleytech]

10. IMO both Hillary and Bernie could be a decent President in

their own way and both would be a superior President compared to any of the Republicans running but then again a jar of mayonnaise would probably be a smarter and superior President than any of the Republicans.

7. A 20 point lead in a 2 person race = 10 points from a tie.

Keep in mind that whatever HRC's lead is, it is actually only half. If HRC drops 10% Bernie goes up 10%. If 11% goes to Bernie the lead flips.

11. Stop being naive

A vote for Bernie is a vote for Ted Cruz and the most radical republican agenda in 100 years. And I will not forgive.

[pangaia]

14. A vote for Hillary is a vote for Ted Cruz.

Or... whatever other wackjob the bigots put up..

[INdemo]

16. Give us examples of how a vote for Bernie is a vote for Cruz?

If you listen to the real news 14% of Democrats will not vote for Hillary. Add to this those that don't want a Republican lite,(corporatist)Then there are those that just don't want another Clinton or Bush
Hillary Clinton had here chance in 2008. She is yesterdays news.Hillary has two many negatives against her with her financial dealings while SOS and her close ties to Wall St.

So your statement could very well be true if you substitute Hillary for the name Bernie,which would look like this:

"A vote for Hillary is a vote for Ted Cruz and the most radical Republican agenda in 100 years."
Cruz may not be the most radical,because there are so many to choose from.

Note: Bernie Sanders would defeat every potential Republican candidate currently running.

It is now very plausible to argue that of all of the candidates in either party for the presidential race Bernie Sanders is more electable than Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

17. So did you chose the Bernie Sanders Group in error?

Judging by this post apparently you did.

[1monster]

26. Ted Cruz is running for the Democratic nomination?!!!

How the HECK did I miss that story?

[ejbr]

23. +1

If no other candidate should take any votes they presently hold

[Beacool]

8. I thought that H. A. Goodman stated that it's in the bag for Sanders.

That train appears to be going off the rails.....

[riversedge]

24. H. A. Goodman is the aka baghdad bob.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

29. Keep thinking those good thoughts!

[Beacool]

31. I'm only sure of one thing about the upcoming election.

Barring an unforeseen eventuality, Sanders will not be the Democratic nominee.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

32. Your problem is your ability to foresee.

[Beacool]

33. Time will tell.........

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

34. Yes it will!

[George II]

9. WHOO HOOO!!!

She's also "snared" about 99% of the endorsements of Democratic Governors, Senators, and Representatives.

I can't wait until March 2!

[SmittynMo]

12. Me either

Thanks for the reminder

[pangaia]

15. For me, that is just the point.

I don't want TPTB running shit.
I actually prefer someone, Bernie, in this case, who would NOT get their support.

[bowens43]

20. I cant wait either, the decline of hill will be in full swing

[George II]

28. Kind of hard to imagine since each month since the summer she's increased her lead in the polls.

[riversedge]

36. me either.

[n2doc]

13. I was unaware that there had been a vote

No one told me.

[randr]

18. I am leaning toward the candidate that the MSM is most afraid of

Will let you know how that works out as we get closer to the real Presidential race next year.

[bowens43]

19. the more you build her up the harder the fall will be and she is going to fall

maybe after getting trounced by Bernie we will finally be rid of her.

[thereismore]

22. Ouch.

I see her losing IA and NH. What happens then is anybody's guess.

[frylock]

21. Hillary Clinton Snares More Than Half of 30% of Registered Voters.

Doesn't sound all that impressive.

[riversedge]

25. and BS snags a tad bit more than a Third.....Doesn't sound all that impressive either.

[Cha]

27. Thank you, rivers!

[Hekate]

35. KnR, Riversedge!
