Buffett: Barring Illness, Hillary 'Very Likely to Be the President'

[stephenjohnbanker]

I had no idea. Thanks for the info.

[glennaro]

Who She Chooses for 2nd Will Be EXTREMELY Important

But not as important as who the Republicans choose to head the ticket (that is, as far as getting Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend's wife succeeds)

[Lurkinanloomin]

Jeb’s busy playing the part of designated loser. Graciously of course.

[Bitsy]

The old man wishes. Wealthy old socialists want equality for all except themselves. When is the old man going to cough up some change and feed the 3rd world countries. No, old socialists just give to causes that spawn spcialism/communism. He should keep his eye on his finances and stay out of politics.

[ScottinVA]

It won't matter who Hillary's VP will be.... these two hold the real power behind the curtain:

[GreenHornet]

I think she will pick General Wesley Clark as her running mate to give the appearance (key word = “appearance”) of being strong on national defense.

[ZULU]

Buffet is right up there with Soros among the detritus feeders.

Hillary has NO qualifications and NO accomplishments.

Check out John Bolton’s speech at CPAC. He links that witch to every failed foreign decision of the Obama Administration.

[grania]

I really despise that hillary isn't entering the race early enough for anyone to attempt a challenge to hillary's coronation. The problem the democratic party has is that under Obama, Reid, Pelosi, and not many Dem governors, there's nobody from the dems who's at all qualified. Obama, hillary, and Pelosi sucked all life out of the party.

That being said, she'll have to choose someone solely by demographics and who fills her weaknesses. I could see an Hispanic being interesting, especially to counter a possible Cruz nomination. But would a woman and an Hispanic be too much? The country just might want one wise old white guy on the ticket....she can't risk alienating all of flyover country.

One thing we can be sure of: hilliary will do what's best for hillary, with no regard to what's best for the country.

JMHO

[ScottinVA]

Just saw on a CNBC report Buffett is the owner of $72.7 billion in total assets. He and Soros ($24.2 billion, per Forbes mag) can buy any candidate they want.

[RayChuang88]

But Hillary Clinton will be 69 years old just one month before Election Day 2016. That type of thing could unnerve Democrats, especially since Barack Obama was only 48 when he was elected in 2008.

[Mr. K]

Buffet is just a good business man.

He may be playing the government to his advantage, but it is the government that is the problem.

He could not do this if big government was not running everything in the first plac.e I blame the cronies in the government WAY MORE than him

[chajin]

The country just might want one wise old white guy on the ticket

William Jefferson will fulfill that role, without having to be on the ticket.

[novemberslady]

Cue up Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown...

I don't believe Hill will be the nominee.

I'm waiting for George Clooney to jump out of the closet and scream surprise!

Just like they did with Obama.

[Cyman]

Hillary/Monica 2016

[discostu]

Sorry Warren, that’s not the pattern. By the end of two terms the people are generally pretty sick of the president and everything associated with him, including his party. Unless the GOP goes way out of their way to spike 2016 whoever they nominate will win. Meanwhile Hillary probably won’t even get the nod IF she runs, which she probably won’t. She’s had 2 books in a row totally tank, nobody likes her anymore, if they won’t buy her book they won’t fund her campaign and they won’t vote for her.

[CharlesOConnell]

“vomitworthy”

A Shakespearean character named “Gaglioso”.

[Leaning Right]

Buffet is just a good business man....

That's a good point. But when a businessman's actions do serious harm to the country, that's a step too far.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Now that would be a nightmare. He could get elected even without the GOP throwing the election.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Unless the GOP goes way out of their way to spike 2016 whoever they nominate will win.

---

That’s exactly why Jeb is going to be nominated, he’s the only one who could lose.

[peyton randolph]

Buffett is the son of a congressman.

GEICO stands for Government Employee Insurance Company.

Buffett has been feeding at the government trough all of his life.
