WP on Hillary Clinton and the State of the GOP debate


COGwriter

The Washington Post had two stories that caught my attention today.

Here are some excerpts from the first:

August 2, 2015

The renewed talk of a possible presidential run for Vice President Joe Biden in 2016 reveals two political facts about Hillary Clinton’s candidacy — facts that tell the dueling realities of her 2016 political campaign.

Let’s start with the second fact first.  And it is: Hillary Clinton has major image problems with the general electorate, problems that lead Democrats to somewhat openly wonder whether it might be time to mount a more serious primary challenge to her in the form of Biden.

…Clinton does have serious image problems.  Her favorability numbers have collapsed since she became a candidate and large majorities — especially of those who identify as independents — do not believe she is honest and trustworthy. …

Now, to the other indisputable fact of the Clinton candidacy: She is going to be very, very hard to beat in a Democratic primary.

Despite her slide among the general electorate — a dip fueled by Republicans lining up almost in unison against her and independents turning away from her — Clinton’s numbers among Democrats remain quite strong.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/08/02/these-are-two-indisputable-and-seemingly-contradictory-realities-of-hillary-clintons-presidential-campaign/

The above article showed two polls taken amongst likely Democratic voters.  The first showed that Hillary Clinton would get 68% of the votes, and the second, if Vice President Joe Biden runs, 63%.

FWIW, perhaps I should mention that two radio interviewers asked me about Joe Biden entering the race.  Basically, I said that it would be hard for him to win, but that if he feels that emailgate and other matters could knock Hillary Clinton out, that he might have a chance for the Democratic nomination.

The Washington Post had another article related to the Republicans (also known as the Grand Old Party, GOP) in the race:

The state of the GOP debate: Sunday, August 2

August 2, 2015

The last few national polls are trickling in, finalizing which Republicans are in and which are out for this week’s first 2016 debate in Cleveland. It’s only the ten with the highest polling averages, remember, meaning that John Kasich’s well-timed announcement bump has displaced Rick Perry, whose attempt to pick a fight with Donald Trump very much did not work. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/08/02/the-state-of-the-gop-debate-sunday-august-2/

That GOP poll listed the top ten as follows:

  1. Donald Trump 19.8%
  2. Scott Walker 13.2%
  3. Jeb Bush 12.8%
  4. Rand Paul 6.4%
  5. Ben Carson 6.4%
  6. Marco Rubio 6.2%
  7. Mike Huckabee 5.8%
  8. Ted Cruz 5.8%
  9. Chris Christie 5.2%
  10. John Kasich 5.2%

Despite the polls showing Donald Trump on top, Hillary Clinton acts like she believes that Jeb Bush will be the Republican nominee.  Polls that I have seen suggest that Hillary Clinton would beat Jeb Bush, Donald Trump, or Scott Walker, but she is not unbeatable and we will see what will happen.

Ben Carson is the only Sabbath-keeper of the group, but I do not believe he has a very strong following or knows enough about what the USA truly needs.

The USA needs national repentance, otherwise it is doomed–Bible prophecy shows that it will be taken over because of its debts (Habakkuk 2:6-8), despite having the world’s strongest military (Daniel 11:39).  The Bible also says that most people will NOT believe that even if it were told to them:

5 “Look among the nations and watch —
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.
6 For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs. (Habakkuk 1:5-6)

While people will not believe it, the USA will be destroyed.  Habakkuk also warned that the time will come when people should run as the prophecies for what will happen are so severe (Habakkuk 2:2-3).  While we are NOT yet at that time (cf. Matthew 24:6), we are getting closer.  The 2016 election will not fix the biblically serious problems of the USA.

It is almost impossible to believe that the next USA president would call for meaningful repentance before the USA is hit with more massive problems. The USA needs the return of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.

Several items of possibly related interest may include:

Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel Are the Americans, Canadians, English, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Saxon (non-Dutch) Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? What will happen to Jerusalem and the Jews in Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo-Saxon nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first? Here is a link to the Spanish version of this article: Anglo-América & las Tribus Perdidas de Israel. Information is also in the YouTube sermons titled Where are the Ten Lost Tribes? Why does it matter? and British are the Covenant People. A short YouTube of prophetic interest may be Barack Obama and the State of the Apocalypse.
Can you see the ‘Handwriting on the Wall’? Thousands of years ago, King Belshazzar saw a hand appear at a big party he was hosting. The hand wrote Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. Shortly after the Prophet Daniel explained it, his empire was taken over and King Belshazzar died. Is this applicable today? Are there signs right before our eyes that show that the end is coming to the United States and its Anglo-descended allies. Do abortions, sexual immorality, celebrity pornography, and increased debt mean anything? What does the Bible show?
SDA/CCOG Differences: Two Horned Beast of Revelation and 666 The genuine Church of God is NOT part of the Seventh-day Adventists. This article explains two prophetic differences, the trinity, differences in approaching doctrine, including Ellen White. Did Ellen White make prophetic errors? Did Ellen White make false prophecies? Here is a version in the Spanish language: SDA/COG Diferencias: La bestia de dos cuernos de Apocalipsis y 666. Here is a sermon in the English language: CCOG and SDA differences and similarities.
Hillary Clinton in Prophecy Prophecy, Hillary Clinton? Are there prophecies that Hillary Clinton may fulfill? Are there any prophecies that she has already helped fulfill? Could Hillary Clinton be apocalyptic? Could Hillary Clinton be the final Antichrist? A video of related interest is titled Hillary Clinton and Bible Prophecy.
Should a Christian Vote? This article gives some of the Biblical rationale on this subject. Would Jesus vote for president/prime minister? Is voting in the Bible? This is a subject Christians need to understand.
When Will the Great Tribulation Begin? 2015, 2016, or 2017? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What happens before the Great Tribulation in the “beginning of sorrows”? What happens in the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? Is this the time of the Gentiles? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord? Who are the 144,000? Here is a version of the article in the Spanish language: ¿Puede comenzar la Gran Tribulación en 2014 o 2015? ¿Es el Tiempo de los Gentiles? You can also see the English language sermon video: The Great Tribulation from the Mount of Olives.
Abortion, the Bible, and a Woman’s Right to Choose Do you know what the Bible teaches on this? Has the Roman Catholic Church allowed abortions? What about the real Church of God? Some may also, or instead, wish to view the YouTube video Abortion, the Bible, and US Debt.
Cross-dressing and other assaults against your children. What should you do? Is there an agenda to turn your children and/or grandchildren away from biblical morality and towards practices promoted by homosexuals? What does the Bible teach about cross-dressing? What should parents do? If there is an agenda, what has been going on? There is also a YouTube video on this, titled Cross dressing and Other Assaults Against Your Children.
The Bible Condemns Homosexuality “Same-sex marriage” for “gays” and lesbians is becoming more acceptable to many. What does the Bible teach about homosexuality? Can homosexuals change?
Just What Do You Mean — Repentance? Do you know what repentance is? Have you truly repented? Repented of what? Herbert W. Armstrong wrote this as a booklet on this important subject.
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God was the Emphasis of Jesus and the Early Church Did you know that? Do you even know what the gospel of the kingdom is all about? You can also see a YouTube video sermon The Gospel of the Kingdom.
Just What Do You Mean the Kingdom of God? A booklet that was written by Herbert Armstrong answers questions about the Kingdom.
