"Poll: Trump would beat Clinton in a rematch among 2016 voters
APRIL 23, 2017 BY ALLAHPUNDIT
Good lord. It’s one thing to blow an election once, but to lose hypothetically to a guy with a 42 percent approval rating again? Is there no limit to the humiliation the Clintons will suffer at Trump’s hands?
We’ll have our answer when Ivanka and Chelsea inevitably square off in 2024.
The same ABC/WaPo poll found that when 2016 voters were asked who they actually did vote for last November, 46 percent said Clinton versus 43 percent who said Trump — the same number he gets in this hypothetical rematch. In other words, given the option of a do-over, virtually no Trump voters would switch their votes. Clinton voters, on the other hand…
While just 4 percent of Trump’s supporters say they would back someone else if there was a redo of the election, fully 15 percent of Clinton supporters say they would ditch her.
That 15 percent is split up between those who say they would vote for Trump (2 percent), Gary Johnson (4 percent), Jill Stein (2 percent), and either other candidates or not voting (7 percent).
WaPo suspects the disparity there is due mostly to people instinctively shunning a loser, which I think is right. If you voted for the winner, you’re heavily invested in his success as president and willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in his first hundred days. If you voted for the loser, you may be embarrassed by the endless inside stories of how poorly her campaign was run, how weak her campaign message was, and so on.
You’re no longer invested in her success so you can critique her honestly; some voters are openly angry at Clinton for performing so badly. Add to that the “Bernie would have won” sentiment among the left over the past six months and you’ve got a substantial “buyer’s remorse” faction among Democrats, notwithstanding their loathing of all things Trump."

Oh, PLEEZE!
We all know The Witch From Hell was ordained to be the first female POTUS!
Just ask her. It's her birthright! She's entitled to it!
Just kidding, of course.
I love Nikki Haley. She was a solid Governor and is absolutely blowing the lights out as Ambassador to the UN. She calls a spade a spade and she's fearless in calling out the bad guys for who and what they are, all the time defending the US of A.
What's not to like?

Then, what's atheism got to do with it?
The authors professed atheism, and his chosen anonymous handle including the word "Allah" , were just curious observations about your source.
