It’s too late for Democrats to start rethinking Clinton’s 2016 viability [shill alert]
Washington Post ^ | 8/16/15

Dear Democrats: It’s too late to start over.

As in, there’s no replacing Hillary Rodham Clinton as your party’s front-runner for the presidential nomination. Not with Vice President Biden — even if he runs. Not with former vice president Al Gore. (I mean, come on.) Not with your ideal rich-person-with-no-record-and-a-fresh-faced-appeal.

This may come as a shock to some of you. After all, you argue, it’s only August! The Iowa caucuses won’t be until February! That’s, like, four political lifetimes.

Sure. But modern presidential politics isn’t as simple as announcing that you’ve decided to run and watching yourself soar to the top of the polls. (Unless, of course, you are Donald Trump, who appears entirely immune to every political law of gravity.)

I am starting to think that the Democrats are going to have a brokered convention and that the republican nomination will be running against a surprise candidate from the Demacrats

Not that they're not trying.

It’s too late
To get a date
With Sharon Tate

But it’s too soon
To ask me for the words
Someone carved on my tomb

“Words” doesn’t rhyme with soon and tomb.

“I am starting to think that the Democrats are going to have a brokered convention and that the republican nomination will be running against a surprise candidate from the Demacrats”.

Been touting that scenario to anybody who will listen for 2 years, back then as now I predict a sudden crash for Hitlary, and rising from the ashes like the phoenix, the media will orchestrate a meteoric rise of Fauxcahontis. Clinton never wanted to be president anyway, she is running only to pocket campaign donations

I did mess up the lyrics:

It’s too late
To fall in love with Sharon Tate
But it’s too soon
To ask me for the words I want carved on my tomb

Maybe they can resurrect Al Gore with another groin massage.

At least if it were Trump vs Sanders in 2016, America would have the starkest of choices about which they want for their future - an unrepentant capitalist vs. and unrepentant socialist.

And if America chose Sanders, we conservatives would have fair warning to get out now rather than boil like frogs.

"... [R]epublican nomination[ee] will be running against a surprise candidate from the Dem[o]crats.

Really, what would the surprise be? Biden? Bernie? Moochelle?
It won't matter who the Democrats select.
Trump will still grab them by the scruff of the liberal, treasonous necks and shove their noses in the excrement droppings they have left all over America.

I just watched CNN Internstional's (I'm in Costa Rica) latest update on the email story. Only 2 classified emails have been found, and the anchor guy doesn't understand why the issue is even an issue since Hillary already said she didn't send or receive classified material. The guest, a security "expert" explained that the problem with using the private server is that we must now waste millions of dollars investigating the thing.

unbelievable

I tend to believe they’ll have a surprise as well, but I’m not so clear as to WHO that would be. Perhaps Joe, ONLY because that would give Val Jarrett and those she represents more time in office. They’d pull in someone like Warren for VP just to give the libtards something exciting about the ticket, at least in their minds. I don’t think Hillary will continue much longer. Her and Bill have so much blackmail dirt stored up against so many people that it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they just had her die in a plane crash rather than allowing this circus to continue.

If something happens to the shrill, I think it is going to happen quickly. The Democrats will want time to reorganize their campaigns with new candidates. It will be too late for something to indict her once she gets the Democrat nomination, in my opinion.

“And it’s not just the head start; it’s that Clinton had the pick of the staff in every single state.”

Clintons hate Obama people so she mostly picked people she used in 2008. Obama’s 2008 and 2012 people will be available for Biden.

Who’s to say Obama just declares the 22nd amendment unconstitutional.

And I can guarantee he has his fingers in the electoral college votes to get anyone he wants in office regardless of voters.

There are deadlines for any candidates. We’ll all know soon enough. After that it’s too late.
