Thanks for clearing that up. Still though I think Hillary looks old for her age and certainly at 69 she wouldn’t have the energy and charisma that Ronald Reagan had when he first took office at that age.

Hillary will be 69 in 2016:

Will they call her "too old to run for president" like they did Ronald Reagan?

She is to stupid but well protected like Obama was by the press.
If she runs there should be internet ads by the women abused by her husband.
Rather than having her own husband be held accountable for his actions she blamed that on a Right Wing conspiracy.

Tar and feather this hack and move to the next hack.

Hillary is clearly overrated. Last time, a communist lightweight black moron beat her. This time, another communist white moron will beat her.

The immediate concern of Free Republic is that you posted a copyright restricted photo from Getty Images.
Receiving letters from news outlets’ copyright/trademark attorneys might not seem like a big deal for you personally but it’s an expensive and stressful event for recipients of such.

The 2016 Democrat ticket:

Putting a woman’s face on Communism might just trick the American electorate. However, with lipstick on Commie pigs, they will wake up the next morning with pigs in their bed. It is the conservative's task to unmask Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton for their Communist plans for America.

Putting a woman’s face on Communism might work with the American electorate. However, with lipstick on Commie pigs, they will wake up the next morning with pigs in their bed.

IMHO, with 2016 shaping up as the world at the abyss with toughs like Putin, ISIS n L, Ebola knocking at the door thanks to a World Health Organization plan to spread the disease to the “Whites”, so a cure will be found, just how is this woman who could not handle an attack on our consulate building in Libya, Benghazi, going to stack up against such a terrible world?

She isn't.

And the electorate will be looking for our own tough on tyranny strong man or woman, not the doughy, pillow-fill fluff Hillary Clinton exudes.

I don't know why you're concerned about that.

My prediction is that the GOP leadership in Congress will get enough Democrats on board to override a number of presidential vetoes.

These Democrats all hitched their wagon to this Kenyan jack@ss, and they don't want to pay the price by losing their careers in Congress.

No. Hillary made her Faustian bargain but Satan the trickster will deny her the last and most desired prize of her evil life

Wait and see her hand will get close but just fall short

She will have to run against an energetic and motivated Republican Party.

Let's see how long that lasts with McConnell and Boehner at the helm.

It’s not Hillary vs. the Republican Party.

It’s Hillary vs. who the Republicans select.

Result is determined by the who.

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.

We made substantial gains and should be upbeat. This all or nothing crap is just that, a load of crap that is designed to keep our side depressed and insure we give our gains back by finding one fault after another for anyone we have that has a chance to unseat another Dem.

The Democrats vaunted "War on Women" hit its most visible target---Hillary Clinton. Only one of the eight Democrat women she campaigned for won.

Also shell-shocked is Valerie Jarrett---Obama's Senior Deputy Advisor----who Chairs the White House Commission on Women and Girls.

Republicans' 2014 takeover denied Hillary a leg up in the 2016 presidential sweepstakes. Instead she and Bill will lay awake nights conniving on how to salvage the wreckage. Shell-shocked Democrats see their savior as a losing grandmother ---dead broke---who lives in a pricey mansion on Massachusetts Avenue......who intends to run on "white Privilege."

=================================================== The "dead broke" Clintons pocket $100's of millions via the three tax-exempt Clinton Foundations, including Hillary's unconscionable $250,000 speaker’s fees w/ lavish perks..... plus hundreds of million from global entities. We need to ask (1) to whom the Clintons are beholden, and, (2) what exactly the Clinton donors expect in return.

==============================================

The mega-wealthy Clintons are relying heavily on "white privilege" to get back into office. The Clintons' have benefitted from, and are climbing back into office, using privileges far beyond those of the "community of color" to whom they planned to appeal.

"White privilege" denotes the array of advantages the Clintons have cultivated over years in public office. The gold-plated, endless perks of "white privilege" include:

<><> their personal massive wealth in the $2 billion range....

<><> ownership of multiple homes in posh enclaves....

<><> unknown secret offshore bank accounts...

<><> unrevealed investment profits...

<><> the chain of high public offices they've held....

<><> privileged friends in high places....

<><> global connections....

<><> constant affirmations of their own worth....

<><> greater social status...

<><> the expansive freedoms wealth and connections provide...

<><> unlimited access to the press to speak freely.....

<><> their memoirs made millions....

<><> Dec 2000 book deal $8 million; 2014 book deal $14 mill....

<><> three tax-exempt Clinton family foundations worth hundreds of millions....

<><> Clinton foundation "endowment" skyrockets to $200 million overnight....

<><> Hillary's $200,000 speeches.......

<><> Bill's tax-paid cushy pensions/benefits....

<><> tax-paid Clinton Library (Hollywood honey Sultan of Brunei a donor).....

<><> Chelsea's paid-for $10 million uber-condo.

2016 Hillary was relying on the "income equality" bugaboo to hoist herself into office......as good a definition of "white privilege" as any. The Clintons strategy is to label others as "different" while presenting themselves as "normal."

========================================

The Clinton "normal" is couple billion dollars laying around, accumulated without ever having a real job. The Never-Enough Clintons had planned to run a populist campaign, critical of the Wall Street types”....that's after the world was informed that speaker Hillary was pocketing $200,000 a throw from Goldman Sachs.....and other corporate giants.

The Clintons went from "dead broke" to multi-billionaires in an astonishing short period of time----without holding jobs The greedy, mega-wealthy Clintons have money pouring in from everywhere without lifting a finger...said to be worth couple BILLION dollars.

Never-enough Bill/Hillary look to cash in w/ another go-round in the White House. The Clintons owe bigtime......money is pouring into their three tax-exempt foundations......and these donors expect payback.

=========================================

Clintons raised $2-3 billion in two decades
The Hill ^ | July 2, 2014 | Alexandra Jaffe / FR Posted by Cincinatus' Wife

Bill and Hillary Clinton raised $2-3 billion in the two decades they’ve been prominent on the national stage, according to the WSJ.

The Journal tallied the Clintons’ speaking fees, fundraising for their foundation and the sums raised for Bill Clinton’s two presidential campaigns for the DNC while he was in office and for Hillary Clinton’s Senate and presidential campaigns.

Between $1.3-2 billion came from U.S. companies and industry sources, making up at least 75 percent of the sum — more than the 60 percent industry sources contributed to the two Bushes’ political operations.

The Journal reports that if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, as expected, she could return such donors to the Democratic Party, a source of concern for Republican fundraisers as they gear up for what’s expected to be the most expensive presidential election in history.

Overall, the Clintons’ political operations raised $1.2 billion, their nonprofit drew between $750 million and $1.7 billion and they made about $100 million in speaking fees. --SNIP--

=================================================

The figures are what THE CLINTONS ALLOW us to know. DOES NOT include (1) amounts secreted in numbered offshore bank accounts,(2) investment holdings, (3) safe deposit boxes holding coins, gold, valuables, etc, (4) other holdings in real estate, businesses, (5) rental, interest accrued, investment income, etc .....

================================================

Here's how the "dead broke " Clintons got their geedy hands on billions of dollars.......being president and Secretary of State has an astoundingly good monetary return.

Hundreds of millions flow into the Clintons three tax-exempt foundations which the Clintons calculatedly morphed into hundreds of separate fund-raising machines.

The Clintons' recently formed "The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation" gives them even more fund-raising capabilities......w/ a friendly "family" aura.

Earlier, a NYT's expose chronicled the shady financing of the tax-exempt money machine----The Clinton Global Initiative foundation.

CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE web site
you can peruse 276 web pages of obscure programs
all of them vehicles to raise money
all of them expecting payback w/ Hillary in the WH.

1271 Avenue of the Americas 42nd Floor
New York, NY 10020
212-348-8882

WEB SITE http://www.clintonfoundation.org/clinton-global-initiative

================================================

To whom are the Clinton beholden for their vast wealth....accumulated in a short time after they exited the WH, in Hillary's words, "dead broke"?

BACKSTORY When Billy, the Boy From Hope, burst upon the political scene as a presidential candidate....he duped the voters and coached his Arkansas Mafia friends to say, “Money doesn’t mean anything to Bill Clinton"........

Now we hear he got a hundred million dollars while his wife controlled the State Dept checkbook......monies that were meant for Haiti (the place where the Clintons spent their honeymoon). Plus hundreds of millions flowing into their tax-exempt foundations which the Clintons morphed into eleven separate fund-raising machines.

BETTER ADD THIS IN, TOO News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

Becoming president has a pretty good monetary return. That poor boy from Hope, Ark, made over $200,000,000.00 (that we know of) as a “public servant.”

=============================================

Lawyers Bill and Hillary have held no other jobs but “public service”---they didn't have a pot to *** in in Arkansas---didn't even own a home. But they are experts at gaming the "public service" system for themselves. The Clintons conniving has enriched them. They are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.....and counting.

How did they make the money? In several ways.

(1) Bill's calculated moves w/ his presidential pen and official policies profited numerous cronies and entities.....who are now being hit up for donations to the three Clinton tax-exempt "foundations which they evolved into some 14 fund-raising mechanisms.....and to enrich Hillary.

(2) Bill's pardon pen was useful in pardoning diverse voting blocs which got Hillary elected to the US Senate as a prelude to her presidential ambitions.

(3) The Clintons game the system 24/7....

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.

Please read post #2. We now have 33 out of 50 governorships and 69 out of 99 state legislatures.

The magnitude of the victory is astounding. If nothing else, we can take a moment to thank God. It feels like the first time in 6 years that we've seen a hint of light in a long, dark night.

I hope this brings you some cheer this morning. Hang in there!

You are right, some of the Democrats know they are history in two years if they stick with Obama.

Never underestimate the ability of the Republican Party to nominate a totally unelectable candidate.
