5 Reasons Hillary Won't Run
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 17, 2014 | Tom Bevan

Posted on 06/17/2014 2:07:25 PM PDT by Bubba_Leroy

Hillary Clinton's minions are hard at work assembling a political machine and fine tuning it for another go at the White House. Mrs. Clinton is doing her part preparing for a run as well, churning out a bland memoir about the "hard choices" she faced as secretary of state and coyly positioning herself (again) as the inevitable nominee of the party. But after the troubled beginning to her book tour, we're beginning to see the reasons why Hillary may eventually decide to pull the plug on a 2016 presidential run.

She’s almost out of ammo, but there is still the coming “tactical nuke”:

The media “granny gasm” over the November arrival of William Jefferson Webster “lil bubba” Clinton-Mezvinsky.

3 reasons she will win:
- single payer health care will be her issue
- most voters think that is free
- her party owns the executive branch and overpowers the legislative, so they can and will break the law to have her win

Too early. And, frankly, she’d get more mileage out of an attack on Webb Hubbel’s daughter before she downloads Clinton 3.0

Haven’t you read the news: the book tour is a bust, they’ve sold barely a third of what they expected to sell last week, and demand is dropping.

Yeah, but buying a book costs money. Voting for a socialist is free.

I would never use the words “friends” and “Hillary supporters” in the same sentence.

It’s amazing that Hillary’s book has only gotten 184 five-star reviews on Amazon.

Where are all Hillary’s fans, her worshippers, when she needs them to come to her aid and write a few gushing lines on her behalf?

At the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Hillary received more than 1,000 votes for president. Why have her supporters suddenly gone silent? Why have her former media supporters like Diane Sawyer and Terry Gross suddenly been asking her hardball questions as if she’s a hated Republican?

Something has gone wrong in Hillaryville. However, since Hillary loves the spotlight, it’s unlikely she’ll end her presidential run, at least not until the cameras stop recording the freak show that her candidacy threatens to become.

I hope this turns out to be true, because the left has no one else who would even stand a chance.

So what? You blame the "GOPe" entity like it threw out the primary results and nominate Mitt Romney, but the leftward moving electorate nominated him. Even when it was down to he and Newt as the only Conservative alternative (or so we thought), he won by a large margin.

Do you honestly think the flukes, the homosexuals, the union goons, or the EBT card holders would have voted for a Reagan Conservative over the goodies from Obama? We haven't won the popular vote since 1992, except once when we were still united in the WOT. Since then, what many have said about democracies has unfolded, in that the voters are voting government money for themselves, and those voters now outnumber Conservatives.

Even if Hillary isn't the nominee, we still need to win Americans over to Conservative values if we ever expect to get another Reagan.

Keep dreaming folks.....she’s got a built-in vote of 47%. Old Mitt was not lying when he stated that in 2012.

50% She runs
40% She runs for President
10% She runs for the Senate again.

If she had any sense, the Senate should be the gig she tries to land again. Too much pressure to be President. Senators have more fun, longer tenures, and a LOT less responsibility.

That’s true. The press, surprisingly, are pushing back a tiny bit against Hillary.

Yes, the pure as the wind driven snow GOPe just got caught with their pants down and “extremists” blew the election.
Best thing that could happen to the GOP is they dump cue ball Rove and start pandering to conservatives once again!
They will NEVER be able to out liberal the DNC hacks!

Who’s going to run against her? Elizabeth Warren? Gov. O’Malley of Maryland. That’s been the long list of candidates. Oh, let’s not forget Joe Biden.

My brother is a journalist.

If Hillary said to sacrifice a goat on an alter to her every day at noon, I assure you my brother would sacrifice a goat on an alter to her every day at noon. No questions asked. Period.

Those are his feelings about Obama as well.

No offence, but I think people misread what liberals are capable of.
