Clinton Joke: Don't Let Congress Name My Grandchild

Just how dysfunctional does Hillary Clinton think Congress is right now?

So bad that it would take around 18 years for them to decide on a baby name for her forthcoming grandchild.

"Given what's going on, the poor child would never get a name," the potential presidential frontrunner said Tuesday when asked what role Congress should play in naming the child. "It would be 'Baby' until he or she went to college and could probably choose it for themselves."

The comments were just one of many the former secretary of state has recently made voicing her displeasure with Congressional paralysis. She has previously said the gridlock is one of the dissuading factors in considering a presidential run.

Clinton again acknowledged she is considering a White House bid while delivering remarks at the National Council of Behavioral Health Conference. I just have to decide whether Im ready to do that, she said. So stay tuned, when I know, you'll know."

The conversation pivoted between light-hearted and serious, addressing a wide range of issues including the Clinton Foundation's work to prevent prescription drug misuse and gun control.

"We need to rein in what has almost become an article of faith that anyone can have a gun anywhere anytime and I don't believe that is in the best interests of the vast majority of people," Clinton said.

However the former secretary of state may have been most stumped when asked what her "guilty pleasure" is.

"I'm just trying to think of the, you know, G-Rated ones," she said while pondering the question.

Jeb Bush edges up, Hillary Clinton slightly slides, in CNN 2016 poll

Washington (CNN) - She's still the overwhelming front runner in the race for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, but according to a new national poll Hillary Clinton's support has slightly deteriorated since the beginning of the year.

And a CNN/ORC International survey released Tuesday morning also indicates that while the hunt for the Republican nomination remains wide open at this very early point, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is now tied with Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky at the top of a crowded list of potential contenders.

According to the poll, 64% of Democrats and independents who lean towards the party say they most likely would support the former secretary of state for the nomination if Clinton decides to make a second run for the White House. That's down six-percentage points from January, when seven in ten said they'd back Clinton. Nineteen percent say they are likely to support a Democratic presidential candidate who's more conservative than Clinton, up four points from January, with 13% saying they'd back a candidate more liberal than Clinton, up three points from the beginning of the year.

"Clinton is still in a commanding position, but the poll suggests that some rank and file Democrats are shopping for an alternative but have not found one yet in the list of potential candidates offered to them in other polls," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

Clinton has said she'll decide by the end of the year whether she'll launch another bid for the presidency. Until then, Clinton, who stepped down as America's top diplomat early last year, constantly remains in the media spotlight.

Hillary Clinton steps further into campaign politics

"She has been in the news non-stop and so people are seeing her more and more as a politician and less as secretary of state, so that appears to have cost her a bit," says CNN Chief National Correspondent John King.

"Enough to broaden the field of potential challengers? Highly doubtful, but if she drops more as the year goes on it might start more of a conversation in the party," King adds.
