    Hillary's poll numbers have been steadily tanking but what has her campaign team more worried is the fact that "Democrat Women" are starting to lose faith in her. According to some polls, Hillary's support among Democrat women has slipped and continues to do so. In 2014 Hillary was sure she'd get 75% of the womens votes but if elections were held today less than 50% would vote for her.

    Time for her to panic?

    Hilliary's kinder, gentler persona surfaced on the fwo-part ABC interview with Davud Muir when she "accepted" responsibility for the email server business. While her presumptive nominee status' poll numbers have been declining, I would be surprised if "panic" was in her lexicon.

    I am no political pundit, but it would still not surprise me if Hillary is persuaded to step aside by October in order to give Biden's campaign staff time to gear up for Iowa and New Hampshire primaries. The Dems and the Clinton camp will have to concoct a story to justify her graceful exit. I also would not be surprised to learn of a back room deal to have her withdraw to avoid more embarrassment on the email ethics probe and cessation of pursuing possible administrative or criminal charges.

    I like Hilart, but do not think she would make a good president. To be honest, I am really not impressed with any of the candidates on either side right now. I typically vote democrat, but could be swayed if there was a good republican candidate. I don't trust Hillary and so she will not get my female vote.

    Agreed, especially now that the FBI is saying that it appears they can get those deleted emails - the server apparently wasn't wiped, or else not wiped very well.

    My guess is that Hillary may come up with some sort of "health issue" that gives her a good excuse for backing out with at least some appearance of "dignity".

    Her campaign seems to be in full meltdown. She's trailing all the major GOP candidates in polling. Sanders, a no-namer and open Socialist, is beating her in key states. Her poll numbers concerning trust are abysmal. And the feds are investigating her. Panic? I'd say she should be in that mode. For the matter, it is amazing she's still in the race. Think about it, with all those negatives, would any other major candidate still be running? Maybe, but it is hard to imagine.

    Between Hilary and Donald Trump I would choose the lesser evil and vote Hilary. We can't have an arrogant, self-serving man on the seat-- I'd be afraid of the future when he wins. International relations will burn down because the man is careless and loud.

    In 2008, Romney was crushing Hillary in head to head matchups up until November. Neither of them even won their parties nominations.

    Keep some perspective guys.. nobody is paying attention yet and the only people who are going to ´vote´ based on the email servers are people who would never vote for a democrat anyway.

    I am not one of those people who say the world is worse than it was in the past... but just as a comedy thing.... how far have we fallen that we have gone from the Lincoln-Douglas debates to the Biden-Trump debates...

    BTW.. my guy Kasich is starting to get some traction, up above double digits in New Hampshire. There is hope, I think everyone knows Trump is going to burn-out pretty soon, the question is how much attention people will pay to a smart, economics guy.

    I think Hillary is done for. Regardless if they can retrieve those emails or not, this scandal will not go away and I think her opposition will constantly bring it up, if not in smear campaigns, then in the major debates. It is going to be played the media and people will have it stinging in their ears. It is never the good intentions of the person that the people looks towards, it's the scandals that make them interesting. Look at trump. He's on top of the polls because of the negative crap he says.

    Considering the fact that Trump leads the Republican race and he polls worst out of all republicans head to head against Hillary, I don't think she has any need to worry.

    I think the time for Hilary to panic as been and gone some time back, and I'm not sure if there is a way back for her now.

    I'm not saying she's out of the race but it will take a massive swing back in her favour now, and I'm not sure where that new support is going to come from to be honest.
