Clinton's presidential campaign: world's worst-kept secret ends Sunday - aboard flight to Iowa
Guardian ^ | April 12, 2015 | Sabrina Siddiqui in Washington and Lauren Gambino in New York

Hillary Clinton is prepared to formally declare her intention to run for president on Sunday, ending years of speculation over her ambitions to return to the White House as the first female president of the United States.

The political world’s worst-kept secret will officially escape out into the wild shortly before noon Eastern time with the launch of Clinton’s campaign website. As the Guardian first reported early Friday, the former secretary of state is scheduled to announce her second presidential candidacy on Twitter – alongside simultaneous video and email messages – while aboard a plane from New York to the critical primary state of Iowa.

In the air, according to a source familiar with the campaign, Clinton will make calls to elected officials in Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Throughout Sunday, she is scheduled to reach out to advisers in other campaign battlegrounds – in New Hampshire, where she is expected to visit later in the week, as well as South Carolina and Nevada – and to press, members of Congress, governors, labor leaders and so-called “superdelegates”, while setting up a “listening tour” of Iowa.....

....No matter the seismic, dynastic Clinton advantage, nearly two-thirds of Democrats still think she would be well-served to have a more serious challenger from within her party.

With 577 days remaining before Election Day, much remains unclear about the candidacy of an immediate liberal frontrunner. But after seven years of speculation, the “will-she-or-won’t-she” question won’t be about running for the White House for much longer – it becomes about whether she can re-occupy it.

Hillary started suffering from dementia in her college years.

Hillary will announce her candidacy. Her staff will announce a mind-boggling input of campaign donations. Hillary will have successfully covered-up the money she stole from Libya after she had Qadaffi killed.

If anyone ever tries to investigate the $6,000,000,000 missing from the State Department while Hillary was in charge, all we’ll hear is that the Democrats used that money to get the Ambassador’s body back and to free those 40 CIA employees in Benghazi. It was actually used to pay blackmail to our enemies to protect Hillary and Obama.

Hillary don’t give a shirt what you think about her competency. She’s working hard to keep herself out of jail.

Recycling the Clintons makes about as much sense as recycling the Bushes but the establishment in both mainstream Parties thinks it is the only road to victory in 2016. In reality, if either wins, both Parties win.

For Hillary, it is all about the money. For Jeb, it is about the ego and pleasing his Mexican wife by uniting the United States with Mexico. For both parties it is all about money, power, and political influence in Washington so their own partisans can continue to loot America.

I feel like I'm in a bad American version of an Argentinian movie featuring the Peróns.

So many are saying she’s just phoning it in, and who can argue?

Is it because the nomination appears in hand and she is saving energy for the general?

$2.5 GABILLION DOLLARS? She has garnered 2.5 BILLION for a campaign? What can I say?

Hillary, it doesn’t take 140 to show her lack of
character. It can be summed up in one word, Benghazi.

Take another gander at Cruz' photo on right.

If he would grow a beard he'd look just like Abraham Lincoln...and he'd be a shoo-in.

I guess no one on the plane has a stick.
