Boone Pickens: Hillary Clinton will drop out of 2016 race
Yahoo Finance ^ | 5/4 | Yahoo Finance

Posted on 05/05/2015 5:52:52 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

“If I was going to change, who are my choices on the Democrats’ side? I don’t think Hillary Clinton’s going to be a candidate.”

Pickens says he doesn’t think Clinton will make it to the end of the campaign. He says, simply, “I think she’ll pull out of the deal.”

Why would the presumptive Democratic nominee, who at this point holds at least a 50 point lead over her nearest Democratic challengers in national polls, pull out of the race?

We want a wounded Hillary in the general. Then, a stake in the heart. A STAKE IN THE HEART.

“Then, a stake in the heart. A STAKE IN THE HEART.”

I agree. Hillary could absolutely decimate the Democrat party. Corrupt, venal, unappealing, shrill, mean, lesbian. The one Republican who could lose to her is Jeb Bush.

IMO this was all agreed upon ahead of time. The Party would pay Hillary back for her loyalty, staying with Bill, etc. by allowing her to run for president in order to pull in millions of dollars for herself and then when she thought she had enough she would drop out. She’d have her money, and the Party could run who they really wanted.

Hillary counts on the stupidity and ignorance of her voting base. This is her last chance to be president. No way is she dropping out.

Yes. She will continue to be surrounded by courtiers. More importantly, she has scores to settle. And hey, being the first female nominee of a major party would be history in and of itself. That'll put her one above Geraldine Ferraro.

A STAKE IN THE HEART.


And that is what it feels like it will take. Probably for the usual reason...

Yeah, but think of the fun she’ll have running around the country spending all that money from her idiot supporters.

That's a real bad idea. If that happens the puppetmasters will manipulate a nomination for Jeb and constitutional conservatives will again be bullied to vote for the "lesser of two evils". My answer at that point would be "what difference does it make"?

If the dems up the caliber of their candidate, the 'pubs will be best off giving us a candidate who isn't an insult to what we believe in.

I can think of a real good reason for hillary to drop out. If some researcher or HOR committee (yeah, like they're really trying) gets too close to proven criminal behavior she could end up in jail and losing some of those ill gotten gains. It could happen....Martha Stewart ended up in jail for a lot less.

We are ruled by the media and out voted by the urbanites who will all vote for Hillary, some multiple times.

Hillary will be president.

The puppetmasters are already trying to manipulate a nomination for Jeb. They are not omnipotent. If they get to choose the nominee, then what are we doing even talking about the election?

They could spring Charles Mansion from the pen and nominate him, and he’d still get 47% of the vote. Mitt Romney pretty much proved that to be true.

But, she’d never just quit...she’ll fake another “stroke”, or something.
