Hillary Clinton will not be elected president of the United States.
Why? Because she can't win, that's why.
And the sooner you figure this out, the calmer you will be.
She wants desperately to win. She's endured painful decades of Bill, years of Barack, eating all the insults like so many sins and swallowing them down as the price of her ambition. It's all there in the dull weight of her eyes.
But I just don't see Hillary winning this election, because she's the lone candidate of the establishment in a year of insurgency.
Common wisdom and her fierce Clinton tribalists will probably want me burned at the stake for heresy, or chemically altered, or maybe just being hanged from the Tribune Tower will do.
But this is an insurgent year. And she's the Empress dowager of the Washington establishment.
Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders isn't an establishment creature. And on the Republican side, economic nationalist and self-funding Donald Trump and conservative Ted Cruz are definitely not establishment. Cruz and Trump have been at war with their party. The GOP establishment needs Cruz now but they don't like him.
And they're angry with Trump because he won't take their money, although in the last Republican debate Trump did something brilliant. He suggested he may be open to fundraisers if he's the Republican nominee, smartly giving those money boys an opening. This was missed by the media in all the talk of Trump's new tone. But the insiders certainly noticed. All they want is access. By hinting that he may allow it after the Republican convention, Trump means to charm them into leashing their dogs.
That leaves Hillary Clinton, with her massive fundraising, her Party insider status, Wall Street speeches bringing more cash, the Clinton Foundation clout, the connections foreign and domestic.

you comment appears exactly right
the GOP-e seems happy to play second or third fiddle as long as they get their bows lubed a bit
Stroked out drunk murdering liar b1tch for President 2016 - I paid my dues, You owe me
Hillary is the democrat’s Bob Dole.
somebody sane?
In the general election Hillary! will sink to the bottom of the polls much like Jeb! did. It seemed clear last fall that the public has no patience for any more Bushes or Clintons.
I don’t think she’ll be indicted. She’ll be given an offer she can’t refuse which won’t include staying in the race. Look for that to happen after her aides are subpoenaed in May/June. I’m guessing with the continued FBI leaks she’ll be up for grabs somewhere between June and August.
By then, with the bribery and tax evasion, her popularity is going to be in negative numbers. The commie will be ecstatic and the Democrap honchos will be trying to give Lieden a facelift.
the treason foreign and domestic.
I hope she loses IL!
Ted Cruz (I was very disappointed with Cruz over his blaming of Trump in part for Chicago riot. And I know its gotten nasty between him and Trump, but I think Cruz is brilliant on policy and I think the Donald could use that).
No she won’t win because she’s a corrupt, incompetent, and possibly traitorous.
Chicago IS his home town.....it’s the CPUSA headquarters.
Trump is the only outsider.
Calling Hillary the Empress dowager...isn’t that unfair to the memory of Tzu-hsi, Empress dowager of China?
