I needed to add that the point stands though, the political price about the emails was not really paid by Clinton as her numbers did go up after McCarty put his feet on his mouth. Feel free to remind many about how Republicans continue to ignore rules and resort to exaggerations so extreme that once the reports come out of the investigations (Not likely that the latest Benghazi investigation will give us a different result from the many others already made) tell us that what has been claimed against Clinton fails to become real and ends up making her looking better. ---

Tied with Ted freakin’ Cruz is now acceptable for Clinton? Your standards are in free fall even if she’s not. ---

> [@adaher](#): > > Tied with Ted freakin’ Cruz is now acceptable for Clinton? Your standards are in free fall even if she’s not. You forget what I said about FOX being an outlier, other poll aggregates are not so clear on that advantage. [http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-general-election-cruz-vs-clinton](http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-general-election-cruz-vs-clinton) You are also ignoring that more than once I have pointed at the media looking to have a horse race, so a lot of the efforts made by the media to make it so were not unexpected by me. So, yet another item where you are wrong too, besides the idea about who did pay politically for the email scandal, Clinton had a big problem but McCarty showed to many how unimportant this issue really was. The point of what happened to the Clinton polls after October does stand. Feel free to remind all once again about overreaching and exaggerations that in reality do remind the people about who is better in comparison. ---

Another thing is that this is no enduring advantage for Cruz. He got two polls in a row showing him outpolling Hillary head-to-head. That’s all. Before that, you’ve got a bunch of polls showing Clinton leading. ---

When she hit bottom. Although now she’s starting to lose ground again. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-hillary-clinton-be-the-next-u-s-president/733557.md?page=32)
