There has been a lot of grumbling among the leftist hordes of the Democratic Party that indicate something less than overwhelming enthusiasm for the coronation of Hillary Clinton as their standard-bearer in 2016. It is difficult to imagine why, considering her charm, effervescence, eloquence, and unquestionable past, there would be anything but unanimous support for the good lady – unless it is because none of those qualities are attributable to her.
Now comes the proposition that since she has signed on for paid speaking engagements (virtually the only thing she has been successful at) until March of 2015, Hillary can wait until April to announce her presidential run. That is an example of considerable hubris, considering that her last coronation was upended in 2008 by a junior senator from Illinois with absolutely no accomplishments in federal or state government.
There does not seem to be a “golden one” waiting in the wings this year, since most of the alternatives mentioned are white males who, for the most part, are out of fashion in the Democratic Party. While Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden will bring a smile, they will attract no votes.
But then there is Elizabeth Warren – she of “You didn’t build that” and “I’m Cherokee because of my high cheekbones” fame. The sad thing for the Democrats is that their bench is so thin that they will literally have to choose between a Wall Street tool and a clueless and hypocritical academic. She is, after all, somehow a millionaire. I wonder how that happened, since she could not have possibly “built that.”

Amen
Fauxcahontas Warren vs Arkansas Bedonkadonk Hillary?
Remember, Carter came from nowhere.
What about Condi Rice vs either of them?
With regard to EW's skeletons, we can count on the Rinos and otherwise intimidated Republicans to overlook such, as they have in the most recent presidential campaigns.
No she's not. She is the closest thing to a female obama -- a flaming socialist, elitist liar from one of the bluest states in the country. She is also a one term senator elected in a rigged election. She has impeccable credentials.
Are there any White Males running in the Democrat Party? All I’ve heard about are feminists and minorities.
That’s the GOP’s specialty.
Dole/ Ford 2016!
RE: Are there any White Males running in the Democrat Party?
Yes, former Virginia Senator and Secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan, Jim Webb.
He’s for me, the least of the evil.
RE: Warren has not even completed a full Senate term, has she?
Nope, and neither did Obama when he ran, and neither will Ted Cruz if he runs in 2016.
Your Post #7 makes a lot of sense.
Warren is not going to run. She is developing the hard left base she will put to the service of electing Billary, allowing Billary to sound more “moderate” in the general election but with Warren still getting her troops to support Billary.
I’d like a right-hander for a change.
I see old people.
I hope she runs—she is as far left wing as they go—almost a true Commie—even to the left of Hillery. I believe the Democrats will reject her for a more moderate man—maybe a white with a Latin sounding name. Anyone linked in any way with Obama will not stand a chance. A Governor is my guess. Maybe a woman VP? But the father left the go—the better it will be for GOP.
