Once again the toxic coattails of the Clinton Crime Family were deadly on the campaign trail.

Rand is exactly right. Every candidate she worked hard for lost. Arkansas went 100% Red. Illinois has a Republican Governor.

Please, Hillary, keep helping the RATS!

The question for her, if she runs, is whether she goes far left or tries to position herself as a moderate. Think about how either option will go over with the RAT base...

That’s why Warren will run, to make Hillary look Moderate by Comparison.

A little earworm I would wish on to Hillary today:

I realize the Clintons haven’t been associated with the state in two decades but it’s still fun to discuss.

Elizabeth Warren is going to run and she has a shot at taking Hillary down. Warren could be 2016’s Obama. The majority of Democrats are far left progressives like Obama. They’re likely to pick a leftist and stick with him or her. Bill Clinton’s coalition doesn’t exist like it did in 1992, which is why Hillary lost in 2008. She has name recognition but that won’t matter when the base Democrat primary voter is to her left.

Don’t forget about Julian Castro. He’s my “pick to click.”

I don’t think this made any difference.

The next Democratic nomination remains, as it has been since Bush was re-elected ten years ago, Hillary’s to lose.

We know from 2008 what it takes for her to lose it: a candidate who excites the money, appeals to one or more core primary demographic, and feeds the media a story as good or better as “first woman President.”

We can start out saying that no white man plays, period. Elizabeth Warren neutralizes the “first woman” story ... but she has yet to convert her left wing preaching into any kind of support outside of the latte-sippers, who are a minor demographic, while that preaching has polarized the East Coast money against her. Julian Castro might be a better case; in 2016 Latinos will be a much larger share of the primary electorate than African Americans in many states, while at the same time he doesn’t have the reputation as a leader in the anti-business rhetoric that Warren does.

Neither of the Clintons have ever been that effective in helping Democratic office-seekers.

The problem though is that Hillary had her own string of defeats in 2014. Kentucky Democrat Alison Grimes did everything she could to distance herself from Obama while she embraced Hillary. Grimes lost by 15. She campaigned for Sen. Bruce Braley in Iowa. Braley lost by 8.5. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton campaigned for Mark Pryor in their old Arkansas stomping grounds. Pryor lost by 17 points.

Yahoo should fire Romano. He's beyond delusional. BUT this is probably a sign the delusional party is going to throw that warmed over left over casserole out as another HISTORIC UNQUALIFIED CANDIDATE.

The Clinton wing of the Democrat Party is all in for Hillary. The progressive, Obama wing of the party is not. At least not yet. It will be interesting to see who the progressive wing picks as their next greatest thing. Elizabeth Warren is someone they might attach themselves to. I’ll bet Obama gets involved publicly, which no sitting President has ever done before.

The Clinton Crime Family has a really strong record of imparting toxicity to candidates they campaign for.

And if you look at “voter heartthrob” BJ he won only by pluralities both times. Hillary did win pretty big twice but it was in NYState, hardly a challenge for a Dem.
