Whatever the Hillary Clinton team had in mind for this summer, this certainly can’t have been it. Her book Hard Choices got panned as political pablum, and she stumbled throughout her promotional tour on what should have been easy and easily-foreseeable questions about her personal wealth and tenure at State. Over the past week, she picked a fight with the White House by attempting to distance herself from Barack Obama’s lack of “organizing principles” in foreign policy, only to make a quick and embarrassing retreat when rebuked publicly by David Axelrod.
At the beginning of the summer, Clinton’s popularity put her far above the presumed pack for the 2016 presidential race. These days, according to a new Marist poll … not so much:
Potential Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s lead over a crowded prospective Republican field has narrowed and her support has slipped below 50 percent, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll. …
For example, Clinton leads Christie 47 percent to 41 percent with 12 percent of voters undecided. In April, she led 53-42 with 5 percent undecided, and in February she enjoyed a 58-37 lead against the governor with 6 percent undecided.
She’s seen her cushion against Bush, brother of former President George W. Bush, erode to 48 percent to 41 percent with 10 percent undecided. That’s down from 55-39 with 6 percent undecided in April.
And against Paul, her lead has shrunk to 48 percent to 42 percent with 10 percent undecided from 54-40 and 6 percent undecided in April.

Too soon, dang it! I so want Hillary to be the Dem nominee,,would make things much easier.
She will not be nominated, she may not even run.
Like I’ve been saying, it’s going to be Cory Booker, Anthony Foxx, or Julian Castro.
So lacking is Hillary in the most basic of personal political prerequisites that even Morning Joe called her "canned" and cringeworthy. The panel was commenting on an excruciating clip of Clinton prior to her hug-it-out dinner with President Obama...... there is something about Clinton's public persona as to be seriously off-putting.

===============================================
The Clintons are paranoid---Hillary's "dead broke" comment to ABC's Diane Sawyer is haunting her candidacy. The Clintons lay awake nights, trying to dream up angles to make voters forget her "dead broke" bomb.
She's really desperate---picking on the Redskins franchise last week. She bombed doing an outlandish comedy routine w/ Colbert. Where she'll strike next is anybody's guess.
Maybe she'll take it all off for Playboy---seeing that "she needs the money"?
Maybe Hillary, Bill and Chelsea will stand in a bread line, join hands and sing Kumbaya?
Hillary lacks wisdom. She lives for a cause....any cause that will gather a crowd.
But something like Benghazi.....Not an ounce of common sense.
What difference, at this point, does it make?
Nov 2016 is at least two political lifetimes away.
I expect a fainting spell around October 31st.
"No big deal---you wanted to pepper spray terrorists, I wanted to water-bomb them w/ happy face balloons."
Wiping away a tear, Obama's former van driver, and Hillary's "MESSAGING GURU," dudester Tommy Vietor said, “They’re friends and human beings
first,” he sobbed. Vietor once sat in on Obama's Situation Room briefings and
had National Security Clearance. He now does "messaging" for a living. Hillary
hired Vietor to mastermind her book tour.
So much for "messaging"---Hill's book went straight to the $2 bin.
How’s she doing against Chief Lizzy Warren among Dems?
She comes across as a tone deaf, bitter old shrew. Can’t imagine the Dems really want to nominate her.
Poor Hillary. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
"White privilege" denotes the array of advantages the Clintons have cultivated over years in public office. The gold-plated, endless perks of "white privilege" include:
<><> their personal massive wealth in the $2 billion range....
<><> ownership of multiple homes in posh enclaves....
<><> unknown secret offshore bank accounts...
<><> unrevealed investment profits...
<><> the chain of high public offices they've held....
<><> privileged friends in high places....
<><> global connections....
<><> constant affirmations of their own worth....
<><> greater social status...
<><> the expansive freedoms wealth and connections provide...
<><> unlimited access to the press to speak freely.....
<><> their memoirs made millions....
<><> Dec 2000 book deal $8 million; 2014 book deal $14 mill....
<><> three tax-exempt Clinton family foundations worth hundreds of millions....
<><> Clinton foundation "endowment" skyrockets to $200 million overnight....
<><> Hillary's $200,000 speeches.......
<><> Bill's tax-paid cushy pensions/benefits....
<><> tax-paid Clinton Library (Hollywood honey Sultan of Brunei a donor).....
<><> Chelsea's paid-for $10 million uber-condo.
2016 Hillary was relying on the "income equality" bugaboo to hoist herself into office......as good a definition of "white privilege" as any. The Clintons strategy is to label others as "different" while presenting themselves as "normal."
The Clinton "normal" is couple billion dollars laying around without having a real job. The Never-Enough Clintons had planned to run a populist campaign, critical of the Wall Street types”....that's after the world was informed that speaker Hillary was pocketing $200,000 a throw from Goldman Sachs.....and other corporate giants.
The Clintons went from "dead broke" to multi-billionaires in an astonishing short period of time----without holding jobs The greedy, mega-wealthy Clintons have money pouring in from everywhere without lifting a finger...said to be worth couple BILLION dollars.
Never-enough Bill/Hillary look to cash in w/ another go-round in the White House. The Clintons owe bigtime......money is pouring into their three tax-exempt foundations......and these donors expect payback.
RE: Poor Hillary. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Please, let it stay that way...
And don’t replace her with Fauxcahontas.
careful what you wish for... It’s better she implodes now in my opinion.
I do not want her as the nominee. We can beat ANY other candidate they put up, because they honestly have no one else.
I tend to agree she may not run. She wants to, but she won’t unless she can be absolutely certain she will win.
She will not allow herself to known in history as the first woman to run and lose. She is far too narcissistic to allow that. She would rather live with the fiction that her health kept her from assured victory.
She gets uglier by the minute, inside and out. Not a good strategy for a potential presidential candidate.
they dont, but they are desperate to get another baby killer nominated no matter what to stack the supreme court.
I think Princess Lieawatha is the certain nominee and, depending on what the Republicans do, may well be the next President.
