If you had the choice between a life of great wealth and fame as opposed to the daily inquisition and criticism that comes with the presidency, which would you choose?
The revelations, reported initially in the most left-wing newspaper in the nation, The New York Times, that Hillary Clinton used her own private emails to conduct public business, suggests that there are forces within the Democratic Party that do not want her to be its candidate for President in 2016.
It’s not like Hillary did not know she was supposed to use the State Department’s email system for reasons of national security; her private emails could have been hacked by forces unfriendly to the U.S. All government employees are routinely briefed on the laws that require this.
For the record, I am no fan of Hillary Clinton. On September 18 of last year, I wrote a commentary titled “Go Away, Hillary” in which I asked “Other than earning her law degree, name one thing that Hillary Clinton has accomplished on her own. Her accomplishments—slim as they are—have been achieved on the coattails of either Bill Clinton or Barack Obama.”

A totally stupid question. For Hillary, it's all about the power of the office. She could care less about the rest.
Me? I've tried poor...don't like it. Would like to try rich.
Be still my beating heart.
That is a bold prediction.
I also think that if she runs she will expire on the campaign trail... Her health is fragile and she barely made it as SOS (one of the worst ever).
I think she’ll run but not get the nomination.
Democrats have moved on. She is now (God help us) too conservative for them.
If the Democrats force her out of the nomination watch out! At that point the Clintons will have no incentive to help the party out. Right now, they need the Democratic party, if it shoves her aside again, they will no longer need it.
I agree. As much as I dislike all things Clinton..... she is way to the right of Obammy.
I agree and when she doesn’t get it she and Bill will go nuclear and take down a bunch of lefties with them. The Clintons could care less about the country or the Democratic Party at that point.
The next President will be a Gen-X'er.
I have perfected poor, I want the challenge of being rich...
This is what she should do.
1. Keep raising as much money as possible with speeches and fraudulent donations.
2. Announce that she is not running.
3. Do damage behind the scenes to all of those RATS running in primaries so that no one get a majority.
4. Appear at the RAT convention, with no one having a majority of delegates, and accept a coronation as the candidate. She will have avoided all the scrutiny.
ALTERNATE PLAN: If a RAT does get enough delegates, she has the nominee and VP nominee involved in a mysterious fatal accident during the presidential campaign. She then steps up to save the party and the country.
Frankly why does the Democratic Party need the Clinton’s?
In the 2014 elections everyone they campaigned for lost.
Here in Arkansas they came several times, Bill did, to campaign for Mark Pryor and James Lee Witt, among others, and they both lost by double digits. They are toxic to anyone they campaign for.
I would think the Democrats might just welcome an end to them and cronyism.
I’ve been relatively rich. I highly recommend it.
That's true of anyone who runs for the presidency.
If she doesn’t run, you get Warren. It will amusing to see the Republicans screw THAT up.
A pox on both their houses.
The President is just part of it. conservatives should be focused on Congress. Getting rid of the current crop of idiots would be nice.
We are facing the election that provides us with the best opportunity to save a generation from horrible wars and economics.
Tell ya what…
When the story broke about the “foundation” raking in millions, I thought THAT’S what they are really after. She must appear to be running or that flood of influence buying cash would stop.
Obama doesn’t want to fight a war against ISIS but he sure is in a war against the Clintons. This was all leaked because the latest sex scandals with Billy boy were not enough to stop her, she was going to announce next month. I don’t think he wants Hillary to succeed him, they want someone even more leftist. If he even leaves office at all. What’s worth popping popcorn over is whether or not Hillary will retaliate with some of the dirt she has on Obama. Remember the “theft” of the passport records? Bill will be pretty pissed over this and may want to force an Obama resignation. Biden becomes pres and guess who he will be forced into making VP. That may be their only path.
Hillary is in it for the long haul. Do not expect her to just give up on her dream of becoming president. She will last at her goal until her dying breath. Even if she were tried and convicted and sent to prison, she's still be moving to be top boss.
I sure would hate to be her warden.
Hillary will NEVER give up. She’s a clinging climber.
