That is not as stupid a question as it first sounds. Ostensibly we know her four ready answers.
I. Who Else?
One, there is no other credible Democrat who could run for presidency. The senior party leadership — Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore, John Kerry, and Dianne Feinstein — is shrill and buffoonish. They all have either tried before and failed, or are ossified has-beens — or both. There are no up-and-coming governors with distinguished records of executive success. There are no young charismatic Democratic senators — other than the well-preserved, 65-year-old Harvard populist Elizabeth Warren — out to make a name, who can speak well and mirror image a Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, or Mario Rubio. Congressional-district gerrymandering that encourages ethnic chauvinism and hard-left polarization has almost ensured that there will not be another minority star, like Barack Obama, who can win crossover votes and statewide office as a springboard to the White House
Because it’s HER TURN!!!
Why Is Hillary Clinton Even Running?
Ah! good question....
Answer: To give republicans something to talk about while the democrats make massive plans for voter fraud...
Don’t make any difference WHICH democrat drone runs..
ALL are unified for the HIVE... the collective.. the State..
Last thing they want/need is for republican presidential candidates to start talking about VOTER FRAUD...
-OR- anyone ELSE...
And I don't believe that Jeb can win. The game that's going on is has to do with the mad-as-*ell US population. The elite want Jeb vs hillary. Then they've already won, and no longer have to even pretend that us "little folk" matter.

And everybody knows this isn't about Hillary...it's the Clinton Dynasty they're voting for.......feminists, and all the woman who have aborted their children are going to get on the "First Woman for President" band wagon because they can't think with anything but what they are fed by Hillary and her like. The only record they're looking at is who is standing in their court on so called womans productive rights. And the gay rights agenda.
It's all about sexual issues for them...in one form or another.
The question “why should Hillary run” is exactly what the liberals are asking. Why should she run when she should just be declared president right now and given the crown from Obama, should he decide to step down in 2017.
It seems the Republicans will win BIG this time around.
Unless Odumbo suspends the Constitution and stays in office.
II. Her Turn
Two, Hillary Clinton, like a Walter Mondale, Bob Dole or John McCain, believes that it is finally her turn. In her case she lost in 2008 and loyally served the man who defeated and often humiliated her (“you’re likable enough, Hillary” Obama condescendingly remarked during a debate of Democratic presidential candidates in January of 2008).
She feels that she was robbed of a sure nomination by the upstart Obama, who cut in front of the line with his inane “hope and change” banalities and subtle race carding, as if racial chauvinism must always trump gender pandering. She blew a huge lead in the primaries, licked her wounds, and now it is time for the party to unite loyally behind her the way she did with Obama.
III. First Woman
Three, she thinks she can win largely on the issue of being the first woman president in the manner that Barack Obama milked his racially iconic status in lieu of a record. Her supporters believe that they can reignite the old wars: the Republican war on women, war on minorities, war on immigrants, war on the environment, war on the poor, war on everybody — and thereby galvanize the supposedly oppressed, as in 2008-2012, to register, turn out, and vote in lockstep in record numbers. Thereby they will more than make up for the millions of independents and white, blue-collar so-called Reagan Democrats that she will lose by such racial and gender histrionics.
IV. Money, Money, Money…
Four, Hillary Clinton assumes that she can buy her way to the White House and trump even the Obama shakedowns of the one-percent elite. No one grubs money better than the Clintons, who have turned a so-so presidential foundation into a money-laundering machine for their global jetting and politicking.
Both Bill and Hillary have an uncanny insight into the very wealthy of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, the Upper West Side, and the Florida coast. They understand the formula: when many of the rich become very rich they no longer worry about high tax rates, either on the assurance that they have the capital and know-how to avoid them, or in the belief that that a 50% federal and state rate could hardly eat away much of their enormous pile. Huge federal redistributionist policies may fail and hurt the minorities and poor, but for now they are felt to be about the only insurance that the gates of the rich will not be stormed or their private schools and neighborhoods flooded.
The Clintons rightly sense that the one-percenters in certain fleeting moments feel awfully bad about their privilege. Thus they will feel much better about indulging their endless material appetites, if they give large tax-deductible contributions to the spread-the-wealth, help-the-helpless shtick of elite Democrats. The lifestyles of Hill and Bill over the last two decades reassure wealthy liberals that it is OK to wallow in the material good life as long as you pay occasional penance for such indulgence — and there is no better atonement than helping Hillary Clinton out in 2016 to speak truth to power. After all, with students facing $1 trillion in aggregate debt, Clinton marched into UCLA, check-listed some liberal nostrums for 30 minutes and walked away with $300,000 without a complaint — or about $165 in scarce university dollars for each second of her pieties. In other words, Hillary is running because she has invested enough in the past that the money will be harvested as never before in a presidential race.

Shrill and buffoonish should be the Democrats motto.
“She’s counting on her vagina to carry the day.”
Alleged vagina...let the vetting process begin. This is like a throwback to the 70’s when the Olympics wanted East German female athletes gender tested.
What’s a relatively young manlike the half breed going to do after 2016? It has to be something where his name and his fame is constantly in front of people. Supreme Court - too boring. UN Secretary General - not high profile enough. Hollywood -possible, but no power.
I think the chances of him staying TODAY are 60-40. Next month - who knows? As Arte Johnson wold say: “Very interesting”.
In the midst of her campaign, more scandalous information about Bill will be revealed.
Hillary will file for divorce and play the “jilted woman” card to woo a huge majority of women to her cause.
But, if not, she will bloody every Dem who runs.
This election is nearly assured to put a Republican in the White House....unless we screw it up somehow with Jeb.
Where to begin - the Tyson futures tip, White Water and Rose Law firm papers, WH Travelgate, ...
And, given more recent events, the GOP is so ineffective in their oversight role as to be no longer a joke.
Politics trumps reason and law.
Liberalism has been exposed. Around the water cooler, it is difficult for a liberal to occupy the moral high ground any more. Democratic Party on life support. The party’s leading personalities, including Hillary, just aren’t “cool” to the young.
The issues liberals want to talk about aren’t high on anyone’s priority lists. They’re just not strong where they need to be to win this particular election.
I don’t think any lib candidate can win this election. My only question is will the media go down with its party, or not. Will the media lose its power to persuade, because of having sold us Obama?
“She’s counting on her vagina to carry the day.”
Sounds like a great Photoshop project.
It does carry a snuke.
“should he decide to step down in 2017....”
this is what worries me. will he executive action another few terms in while the cuckolded GOPe sit idly by and form committees?
She’s not running for office...she’ll he running against her opponent. Negative campaigning in hyperdrive.
