Quick Hillary Update

On January 17, I noted here that the Clintons and their old retainer Dick Morris have been trying to create a Hillary wave. At the time, I noted that Morris said,

“Hillary has set up a brilliant strategy that nobody else is able to do,” Morris added. “Knowing the people around her, I believe there is only one person capable of that level of thinking — and that’s her husband, Bill.

How's that working out? According to Paul Bedard,

In the first polling deep dive into her chances to win the 2024 Democratic presidential primary and eventual race against Trump, Clinton turned out to be no more popular than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and far less popular than Vice President Kamala Harris and former first lady Michelle Obama in a potential primary.

. . . “The new hope of a revived Hillary Clinton gets beaten by Trump, 51% to 41%, with Trump beating her among independents, 52% to 37%; among suburban voters, 52% to 39%; and taking 19% among liberals, 13% among Democrats, and 10% of Biden 2020 voters,” he told us.

While it throws cold water on a Clinton run, the survey is the latest to show Trump is not only in charge of the GOP but he's also the pick of Republican voters to run in 2024.

The Democrat party has moved to the left and feminized itself in the years since Hillary has been out of public office -- note that the top Democrat primary contenders other than Biden listed above are Hillary, AOC, Kamala Harris, and Michelle Obama, notwithstanding Hillary has more substance than any of the others in a very weak field.

On the other hand, if Trump for whatever reason is unable to run, there are other strong Republicans who seem to be positioning themselves for 2024, including DeSantis and Mike Pompeo.
