Man or woman? Liberal or conservative? Which would YOU choose?

Can Clinton can beat Trump.

Conservative Republican Donald Trump has led the national polls for months, while liberal Democrat Hillary Clinton continues to lead her party -but can she beat the unconventional Republican candidate?

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Trump is known for anything but restraint, leaving Democratic parties worried that Clinton's shortcomings could provide more than enough ammunition for verbal scrutiny.

Senior political correspondent with Sky News, Sophy Ridge, wrote, "Hillary Clinton is claiming Donald Trump is sexist and he's reminding voters of her husband's sexual history at every opportunity. However, I've got a sneaking suspicion that Hillary's got more to lose here."

Her reasons for Clinton's delicate position dates back to the Monica Lewinsky affair, which, "[f]or many key voters, it's a reminder of the worst memories of the last time a Clinton was in the White House."

In September 2015, Trump told FoxNews that Hillary Clinton was the worst secretary of state in the history of the United States, adding, "I think beating her in a debate would be one of the easy challenges of my life."

Both Trump and Clinton have done well in their respective debates, but Trump has been known to create a type of circus with his outlandish commentary and easily manipulated choice of words.

David Allen, a Democratic Party leader and writer for the Liberal Democrat Voice, explained, "I hear a lot of people saying, 'You know, I've watched the Democratic debates and the Republican debates, and they're so different. I'm sure glad I'm on the Democratic side and they're talking about the issues. They don't always agree with one another, but they explain why.'

"Democrats have resolved themselves to not go into a circus and tear one another down ... We're going to start to have to look at how the [Democratic] candidates play against Donald Trump, because he's certainly holding onto his lead in the Republican Party, and he has certainly played the Republican candidates in a way that has hurt some of his opposition, and I think people are going to start asking, 'All right, who's going to stand up under his type of campaigning?'

"If Bernie [Sanders] is the candidate, Trump will play up how un-American socialism is, and if Hillary gets it, he will dig up everything in the past 40 years and use it - and won't mince words in using it.'"

Ron Romine, chairman of the Spartanburg, South Carolina, Democrats, stated: "I don't think the [Democratic primary] race has generated all that much intensity. I don't feel like anywhere in the state there's all that much passion. The usual suspects will go out and vote, but there's not an intensity that you might think there should be with the first woman.

"Hillary is so familiar, she's been around forever. She has her supporters, and they're going to go out and vote for her, so there's not a whole lot to parse out. You either like her or you're not enthusiastic."

Trump recently explained he would attack Clinton without restraint, adding, "We view this as war. Don't we view this as war? It's war, it's war!"

Meanwhile, Deputy Communications Director Christina Reynolds released a statement on behalf of the Democratic candidate, saying, "Hillary Clinton will stand up against him as she has from the beginning," then cited his "demeaning" comments toward "women, immigrants, Asian-Americans, Muslims, the disabled or hard working Americans."
