Well, Hillary will be an old 68 in 2016.
I wonder if we are going to hear anyone make a big deal about her being too old to be president?

The 2014 election was a disaster for Hillary Clinton. Why? Let us count the ways.
She will have to run against an energetic and motivated Republican Party. If the GOP had failed to capture the Senate, the loss would have been more than demoralizing. It would have led to serious discussion of a third party. Donors would have reconsidered whether their spending was worth the reputational cost. Candidate recruitment efforts would have stalled. Republican voters would have asked why they bother to show up. The Republican circular firing squad, always a problem, wouldn’t use conventional weapons. They’d use ICBMs.
Clinton would have loved to capitalize on this scenario. It would have enabled her to prolong strategic decisions such as how and when and to what degree she breaks from Obama. She would have claimed partial credit for saving the Senate. She would have promised to build on Democratic success. You would have been able to see her aura of inevitability for miles.
But she has been denied. Instead she must calculate how to salvage the wreckage of 2014. She must convince Democrats that their savior is a grandmother who lives in a mansion on Massachusetts Avenue. It is her party that is shell shocked, not the GOP. Trust me: You don’t want to be in that position....

Some clown on Gwen Ifill(sp?)show on PBS said that the GOP victories were good for Hillary, but I didn’t stick around to find out why.
I beg to differ. Even though it was great to see Hillary get her arse handed to her in a hand basket, that was not the biggest loser.
America was the biggest loser. By not getting enough conservatives elected to override a veto from the current clown in the WH, we are the biggest losers.
This guy sure nailed it.
I’m starting to think that Biden will be president soon. Just a feeling.
From your keyboard to G_d’s monitor.
Hillary could still salvage her bid. Give the ‘pubs a chance, they are very capable of spending the next 2 years with their head somewhere with lots of methane and very little sunshine. If they do, the 3rd party talk will probably explode into reality.
“energetic and motivated Republican party”
I hope the Republican party’s leaders have not mistaken a general loathing of six years of Obama for love of the Grand Old Party.
They would be best advised to act as if the voters who tossed out one set of scheissters will be watching carefully to determine whether it will be necessary to eject another set.
How many of Hillarys endorsements won compared to endorsements by Cruz or Palin?
Did the Clinton “Kiss of Death” score a single win this year?
I’ve been saying that for months!
He’s tired of playing the game. His body language is betraying him!
Did any of her candidates get elected?

Minor point...
Hillary, born Oct 26, 1947, will be 69 on her 2016 birthday. Meaning she passed/lived 69 years and will be entering her 70th year at the 2016 presidential election.
I don’t trust the media to play fair over the next two years. They’ll portray conservatives as kooky buffoons and/or mustache-twirling villains, and Hillary as a grandmotherly voice of reason and moderation {*vomit*}
(She reminds me more and more of the sweet-on-the-outside/scheming-on-the-inside “Mom” character from Futurama, plus a set of thunder thighs.)
The media will use the GOP’s nomination process to claim that the party is either goofy, dangerously extreme, or in a “civil war,” and they’ll reinforce the Democrat desire to present a unified party.
If we are to beat her, we’ll also have to beat her media narrative pushers.
It seems the democrats will have to run the Clinton retread despite recent events. It’s her turn...and they have no creditable backups.
OTH, any party who can manage to get a Georgia peanut farmer, a Kenyan half-breed community organizer, and an Arkansas horn dog elected to the presidency is not to be taken lightly.
My guess is Hillary is beyond her expiration date and will not run for whatever reason - hers or the party’s. Instead, some unknown democrat, maybe the anti-christ, will appear out of nowhere to run with a revised less-liberal platform.
The Beast is also a committed drunk. We don’t need that.
Good lord that picture of Hillary is hideous. Ronald Reagan looks younger than his years whereas Hillary looks like a great grandmother!
It’s always two on one, a handicap match every election cycle. The Republican vs the Democrat and the media. That won’t change any time soon. The media is already playing their game of psyching out the GOP by saying the elections were an anti-incumbent and not a Democratic Party repudiation. Also, they’re putting out the narrative that the electorate wants both parties to compromise and find common ground. The MSM certainly didn’t say any of this when Pelosi and the gang took over congress in 2006.
It was a poorly made photo-shopped image made six and a half years ago.
