Rush: Hillary Candidacy Could "Seriously Damage" Democrats

Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, in reaction to the early reporting the forthcoming book “Clinton Cash,” argued ” as more of this stuff becomes known, her candidacy could seriously damage the Democrat Party” on Monday.

[Cowboy Bob]

The left won’t admit it, but Obama has done serious damage to the Democrats. I think the party is slowly dying. I believe that a Hillary! Candidacy will be the final nail.

Who is the future of the Democrat party?

[MAexile]

They found a model that works. The Democrats will never nominate another straight white male again.

If you criticize Obama, you’re a racist.

If you criticize Hillary, you’re sexist, or a misogynist.

After that they’ll have to put up Barney Frank to keep it going.

[ArtDodger]

Wish you were correct, Cowboy Bob, but I live close to DC and the only change I have seen in dems is their hard lurch to the left. If being a dem means being called a socialist, then they are fine and dandy with socialism. Most I know are doubling down. By the time they figure out they are embracing a path to communism, complaining about it will get them a one-way trip to a gulag.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

All they can see is the free chit.

Used to, the short definition of Communism was “From each according to his means, to each according to his needs.”

Now it’s “Something for nothing.”

The comments at the end of the original article are interesting.

Go through the south and look at regional and state candidates. City council jobs might still go Democrat, but state attorney general, Governor, representatives and state senators are mostly going Republican. Sheriff races might still be a fifty-fifty thing....but simply attaching yourself to the Democrat Party isn’t a big positive right now.

The Hillary-run? It doesn’t charge up any rebuilding or enthusiasm.

Looking for alternates to Hillary? Few (O’Malley, Webb and Warren). You can’t find any governors who have the potential to move up or forward.

Unless the Republicans really screw this up....I see the next twelve years as mostly Republican wins. The 2020 census has big potential because several blue-states will be losing one representative each, and several red-states will be gaining one representative each.

Maybe urban battles around Atlanta, Nashville and Houston will keep some active Democrats going in the south, but it’s a negative period for the next decade.

[Biggirl]

Yet thanks to the internet, you are free to criticize!

Rush’s best observation is the one about how H! has to ride this out because everybody is all in with their money on her. She has more than doubled down with multiple felonies hanging, awaiting a brave US attorney to make his bones. As to whether this broadly harms the ‘Rats, we can only hope...

[MaxMax]

I think we’ll all be shocked by the Black vote this election 2016.

[ballplayer]

I’m not worried,I know Hillary is going to take care of the middle class,seniors,gays,I mean I can’t be to far down on her list that she has to take care of,right? I haven’t donated to the Clinton Foundation but that won’t make a difference right?
Those donations were just to help the poor and seniors and everything,that’s me,I can’t wait for Hillary to be my Champion,too bad Ambassador Stevens and the Navy Seals in Benghazi didn’t donate to the Clinton Foundation,I guess ISIS was higher on her list

[PoloSec]

Hillary is just one democrat how many others are doing much the same maybe at a lesser degree but still profiting, of course obama goes without saying unless you ignore the obvious, and it appears by association some Rino’s may also be profiting; there is an appearance of at the least collusion, if support for democrat policy is any indicator.

I would assume the Clintons are the tip of the iceberg standing out for all to see, easily observable to those willing to look; yet beneath is a behemoth the likes of which sank the Titanic, the question is will they be able to continue navigating around such horrendous obstacles.

What?

No “Obama Presidency HAS “Seriously DamageD” Democrats?

[Biggirl]

There are more red areas than blue areas.

[Mr. K]

SHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Don’t tell them!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

That’s just bait.

[Political Junkie Too]

awaiting a brave US attorney to make his bones.

Where can we find one of those?

[Quickgun]

That’s right,and the dems would have to have morals and ethics to believe something is wrong. This is why they still win. No matter what their candidate says or does, they still vote for them, while you see our side eat our own. Saw plenty of that right here on FR the last presidential election...
