Don’t believe the hype — Hillary Clinton can be beat

That will be done soon by Trey Gowdy and Company. Much as I dislike her, I gotta feel a little sorry for Killary. Trey will take her apart piece by piece. I suspect it will not be pleasant for her.

Hillary the Flying Buttress couldn’t give charm lessons to the Wicked Witch of the West, since the latter was a lot smarter & a much better off the cuff speaker.

Ugly is truly to the bone & eventually rises to the surface over time. Even Helen Thomas was briefly a looker in her 20’s.

The Democrat primary in 2016 will be a mega popcorn extravaganza.

Really? Hillary was beaten in 2008 by a “nobody” (Barak Obama). Her problem is that there is no “swing vote” for her to seek; everybody knows her, and either loves or hates her. Not nearly enough people love her.

She was taken down by elements in her own party, many of whom don’t believe they have to line up behind her because her husband was president. Eight years later those same Dems will have eight more years under their belts, and she will have eight more years of wear & tear on her face.

I don’t see donors supporting her, and I don’t believe the Dem candidate in 2016 will be anyone who had any ties to Obama (he is that unpopular, and even more will have been adversely affected by ObamaCare by then). I’m even thinking the Dems will run a white man in 2016; few have any ties to Obama at all (they’re invisible to him).

If the GOP nominates a Bush or a Christie then I’ll put my money on Clinton because the GOP base will be more turned off than the Democrat base will be.

I don’t see Christie as a contender, but a lot of anti-tax Democrats here in NJ (liberal whites tired of paying for the freebies) have voted for him in consecutive elections; he is the epitome of “TEA Party”.
