The big issue that will hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign is her age—she will turn 69 less than a month before Election Day 2016. And the Republican field so far—Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul—are 15 to 20+ year younger than her. And she has not aged well, either.

If one or two other dems don't join in, Democrats and liberals can "vote for the worst" in the Republican primary. The worst is without a doubt Jeb.

I suspect that's the plan. Then we get Jeb vs hillary, and it doesn't matter. The elite puppet-masters will have already won.

“Anointed candidate” makes you think about what they are planning. I know they are not believing they will lose, no matter the candidate.

Well, she’s seeking to beat Ronald Reagan’s election record. Is it just me, or is Obama an anomaly in the Democratic Party in terms of age, it seems like he’s younger than a great deal of the politicians in that party.

As Hillary struggles in the polls the Marxist left will demand an alternative. Unless the Clinton machine can ruthlessly suppress all others, and perhaps then can, otherwise Fauxahauntis will get in to the race.

I think that David Limbaugh is spot on about Hillary being stale and brittle as a democratic candidate, but as his brother says, “...it’s very difficult to beat Santa Clause.” All Hillary needs to say is, “the Evil Republicans will take your free stuff away. I’ll make sure you keep your free stuff... I’ll even give you more free stuff.”

Please PLEASE, let it be Hillary.

She now looks like a dried prune yet is still as grating, unexciting, and unlikeable as ever.

A big name dem hasn’t so far came forward with indications of joining the democrat primary.

These people have and maybe you’ve heard of them.

Jeff Boss....
Vermin Supreme...
Robby Wells....

Potential Candidates that have taken some action
such as a PAC, exploratory committee, etc.

Lincoln Chafee.....
Martin O’Malley....
Jim Webb.....

Others have made some noise about running but haven’t taken action.
We’ll see.

These reasons outlined by Mr. Limbaugh are exactly why Mrs. Clinton has no chance of winning the Democrat primary. It will be O’Malley or some, as yet, unknown candidate.

She fully intends to throw gender in our faces for the next decade
______________________________________

OK I’m a woman and I’ll let you in on a little secret.

1. If its a woman they want as president, offer them Sarah Palin..if they object then, they don’t want a woman, and they are sexist...

2. since they want a woman and therefore are rejecting a man because he is a man...they are sexist...

Very good articulation there. Great analogy.

but O has yet to endorse her...

and I’m sure Bill is getting out the documents to expose O...all those documents the Clintons agreed to put away if O promised Hillary would be POTUS next..

The field is empty but so is the political backing...

Hilary will lose, Santa Claus or not. If ISIS starts beheading people in the week before the elections and Iran is out there developing nukes, Hilary will get creamed.

While I have heard it said that Wisdom is reflected in Good Judgement which can only be gained through experience and unfortunately experience is the product of bad judgement. For many this is true and so bad experience is only a liability when one refuses to learn from it, as Hillary does.

Yeah but the idiots who voted for that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave to reelect him because he needed them, will vote for her. You can count on it

People from MO and AR may be unimpressed, but not the monolithic liberal voting bloc which controls more than 350 electoral votes.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but it should have been obvious to Hillary!, even in 2012, that she would have had a much better chance of becoming President in 2016 by running against President Romney.

First, the MSM would be loudly trumpeting all the ills of the economy that are being swept under the rug for the sake of Obama, so it would be easier for her to run as the Fixer of Middle Class Problems.

Second, Romney would not have gotten any farther with Iran than Obama has, because Iran doesn't want to negotiate, it wants a nuclear bomb sitting on a missile that's pointed at Tel Aviv. The difference is that Hillary! could claim that she can get a peace deal with the Iranians unlike "cowboy" Romney, and enough LIVers would buy it.

Third, Romney would have tinkered with Obamacare but wouldn't have gotten rid of it, so instead of having to run on Obamacare, Hillary! could run on claiming that she "understands" health care better, and would make the system "more fair for the little guy."

Fourth, she could be playing on black resentment that "their guy" wasn't re-elected, getting more blacks to vote for her as Payback to Whitey. (Choosing a black female progressive like Atima Omara as her VP nominee would be a huge step in that direction. Omara would be a threefer: black, female, and young.)

Fifth, she should have known, given the 2010 election, that it would have been fairly easy to "pull a Perot" and work behind the scenes to get a third-party candidate to peel off enough Tea Party voters to have her win in a three-way race. Neither Cruz, Walker, Jindal, nor Rubio would have fallen for it, but it isn't too hard to imagine someone--Rand Paul, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, perhaps Ben Carson--taking the bait and getting upwards of 10% of the vote, thereby gutting Romney in close states like FL and OH.

Finally, four years would be long enough for people to forget how they rallied to vote for the First Black President. Obama being out of the White House would help the "I want my vote to be historical" crowd to care more about electing the First Woman President, while his being in the White House, as is the case now, reminds people that voting for race or sex instead of quality and character results in low quality and low character.

Hillary! has to play the hand she and her husband dealt her, but she must wonder "what if" the Clintons would just have skipped the 2012 convention...
