Clinton Isn’t Going Anywhere…Yet [Clintonistas may really want to run against is Bush] [ed]
Sabato's Crystal Ball ^ | March 19, 2015 | Larry J. Sabato, Kyle Kondik and Geoffrey Skelley

Hillary Clinton went before cameras and reporters at the United Nations last week to address the ongoing controversy over her use of a private email system during her time as secretary of state. She was terse, combative, and essentially told the American people to “trust her” when she says that she didn’t do anything wrong and isn’t hiding anything. Clinton’s visceral dislike of the media was obvious and can be summed up by three words (“Go to Hell”), which was how Politico’s John Harris put it after Clinton’s presser.

Money quote:

Should Bush overcome intraparty opposition to win the nomination, the GOP may suffer from turnout problems with part of the base, even if the base likes the eventual vice presidential nominee. Moreover, Bush may be exactly the Republican the Clinton campaign desires. Her people are well rehearsed and they all say, “The candidate we’d least want to face is Jeb Bush.” In actuality, this suggests that the candidate the Clintonistas may really want to run against is Bush, knowing that most of the outsider candidates won’t be able to win the nomination and other serious contenders such as Walker or Rubio could make a strong future-versus-past argument. And with Bush, Hillary Clinton can run against two Bush recessions and two Bush Middle East wars, asking “do you want a third?”

Elections are about the future.

Hillary is a blast to the past.

If the 2016 election is between Bush and Clinton, it will not be an election about the future. Instead, it will devolve into a &issing contest about which past presidents did you prefer, A Bush or a Clinton.

Imagine, for the sake of the argument, Bush/Cruz vs. Clinton/(Julian)Castro. Two things would occur. First, most of the people who were willing to vote for McCain for the sake of Palin would refuse to vote for Jeb for the sake of Ted. That would put FL, AZ, and OH out of play, ensuring Clinton's election. Second, Castro would almost certainly become President upon Clinton's death (perhaps subsequent to alcohol abuse, though the reason is irrelevant), which would occur sometime late in her first term, around 2019 or early 2020, so that President Castro would be able to run for two terms on his own, ensuring a Democrat in the White House for 20 years (Obama to Clinton to Castro). That would be the end of the American republic for all practical purposes.

Oh...she is going somewhere. Somewhere hot. And with the pungent aroma of sulfur.

Was Hillary Clinton running her own rogue intel operation? (WA Times story)

Yep. She will get her’s eventually. For now though, the ‘Powers That Be’ have decided, as they did in the ‘secret’ summer 2008 meeting with her, Barry and themselves, that she is OUT. (And ALL the way OUT if she does not do as she is told one more time). Jarrett along with Warren are to continue the planned destruction of our Country. Those 2 will also do just as they are instructed to by their puppet masters in the PTB.

Warren is perfect to assume the role of Baraq 2.0.
Folks on here laugh at here prospects, but it’s very possible.

“Clinton’s visceral dislike of the media...”

She has a visceral dislike of the TRUTH, just like her media cheerleaders.

Very possible. We laughed when we first got a load of Barry also when he first hit the limelight also. No way we said. ‘The Powers That Be’ though decide things. In Summer 2008 to clear the way for Barry, Hillary was told to stand down....RIGHT NOW....or else. They dangled the ‘your time will come’ promise to her. She went with it. Now that Jarrett has been so good at America’s destruction it has NOW been decided once again Hillary is not going to be it. (Promise? What promise Hillary......ya got a problem with that Hillary?) It will be Warren/Jarrett.

Hillary is a fossilized beltway insider.
