On average, Bernie does 11 points better than Hillary in hypothetical Dem/Repug matchups.

This, according to the latest Quinnipiac poll. 11 points better - that's pretty far outside anyone's margin of error. And they're not the only study saying this. Anyway, it's getting pretty hard for Hillary fans to keep dismissing these numbers as irrelevant.

This actually has her losing the GE to 4 of 5 GOP nominees and within the margin of error vs Trump. Bernie beats all five with only Kasich within 4 points.

She will ignite the GOP base.

Very important post on a Quinnipiac poll

Hillary's numbers never go up. They start at a peak and just go down from there.

If she is our nominee, we are in real trouble.
