FL-Quinnipiac: Hillary leads all Republicans

[IceSpear]

I know this is usually used sarcastically, but...

Dominating. Seriously. The GOP cannot win without Florida, so does this force their hand into nominating Bush?

[IceSpear]

The GOP needs a true conservative like Cruz! Even if he loses by half of those 26 points it's still humiliation on a national stage.

If Cruz is the nominee and loses, it will be fascinating to see what replaces the "our candidate wasn't conservative enough!" narrative.

Nothing will replace it, they'll say the same thing about Cruz. Remember, back in November they were saying Ken Cuccinelli lost because he wasn't conservative enough.

Also, if these type of numbers hold up later into the year/early 2015, the Democratic establishment is not going to let Hillary NOT run.

These numbers really shouldn't be all that surprising.  Just more data to support the idea Obie was a great fit for Wall Street, Hipster enclaves in Brooklyn, and San Francisco, etc. and the "ascendant coalition" of "moderates" (pro-SSM pothead bankster-lovers) in places like Colorado.  All Hillary had were "bitter clingers" who may have been "closed-minded" on "cultural" "issues" but maybe didn't want banksters getting continued trillions in bailout money.

Do you honestly think that Hillary isn't beholden to Wall Street? That's pretty pathetic delusion.

Ummm, no. But Obama is certainly no less beholden. His base in the primaries cloaked their "merit"ocratic elitism in "cultural" "open-mindedness," so they certainly wouldn't raise hell over unprecedented upward wealth transfers via QE/ZIRP/etc.

People would've been on guard for such upward redistribution with people like Hillary, and the base she crafted during the nomination coronation wouldn't have stood for it. Obie's base enjoys these upward wealth redistributions, just like they approve of the peace drones and humanitarian spying, but they have to justify "progress" as dudes marrying each other and smoking commercialized pot. Sure, they're talking about inequality, but what did they do about it when they had super-majorities in both chambers?  And forcing people to buy junk private insurance isn't what i'd call progress, though my metrics of per capita spending and life expectancy relative to other countries may be a little "bitter" or "clingy." Of course, Obie and a super-majority Dembot congress couldn't pass single payer because only like 2 out of 3 Americans support it or because it would save $300bn per year. ... or according to Dembot email spam, because Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, or the Koch brothers...

You realize that Obamacare has literally saved lives, right? How ironic you bash some Democrats for being "elitists" and "not caring about the little people" while completely disregarding the lives of the people that Obamacare saved in an attempt to score political points.
