Hillary still destroys JEB! in polls; Ickes drops a bomb

After the so-called GOP midterm wave, the latest New Hampshire poll shows Hillary defeating the Crown Prince by landslide proportions, 47 to 39 percent.  JEB! to date has yet to poll higher than the low 40s in any swing state or national poll.  Rand Paul (49 to 41) polls marginally better that JEB! in the Granite State, and Hillary is tied with Willard Romney (46 to 45) who calls the Lake Region one of his several homes.

It should be no surprise that Harold Ickes recently dumped a press release saying that the Hillary camp was in a panic about the possibility of losing to a JEB!-Rob Portman ticket.  They are in a panic alright, a panic to try and dupe the GOP fat cats into buying the nomination for JEB!, and JEB! into picking Portman, an uninspiring empty-suited neocon corporatist who is very publicly in favor of gay marriage, as his running mate.  The Republican base, already depressed over JEB!'s Common Core and open borders past, would likely go ballistic over Portman.  It would be the surest likely route to a third option for the angry right, and might be the one thing to lure Huckabee into being that option.

In the words of the last Bush Decider in Chief, Bring 'em on!
