I do not care if Hillary or anyone else runs. However, this is no longer the political class we once knew. I have no idea what she does with her time and I agree she has been either MIA or inept to the point of being dangerous. She seems to be a hard drinker, I agree. None of that has a thing to do with political viability on the left. She belongs to the Inner Party and has a cult following. Her spouting of memes is likely sufficient for her followers.
I live surrounded by statist nannies. Most are self-described crones, in the pagan sense, and proud of it. They, gay and straight alike, would adore one of their own being in the spotlight. The middle of the road squishes would respond to her celebrity. Bill is supposedly the most popular politician in the world.
I’m nearly 70. While my energy levels aren’t what they were even 10 years ago, I am more efficient than I was then. All H! has to do is show up, be primped and catered to, give a speech and go back and take a nap. As long as she’s not in a walker, she can do it. Give her a few hundred grand and six months and you will swear she has visited the Fountain of Youth. JFK reportedly managed the executive position by dint of injections of speed and steroids, along w/pain killers. It isn’t unheard of.
Don’t know if she will, but I still think Bill is shaping the battlefield for 2016 and she will be a part of whatever.
Seriously, what is their bench? Biden?????? Pelousi????! Young up and comers??? Maybe they exist or will be manufactured, just like zerO was, but I can’t think of one.
Hell, as a donk, she could have a stroke or other traumatic brain injury, lose an eye and all you would see would be total support for her in any position she wants and eye patches would become chic.
All I can suggest is that you come up to present time, my friend.
Hillary was once a force in the party, but the party put her and her husband in their place, in the last election. They’re now little more than tokens. They’re no longer the mighty power brokers and movers that they once were. Their time is passed, and they know it. Even if you don’t.
