Why Won’t Anyone Challenge Hillary? by DAVID HARSANYI March 13, 2015
Other Democrats could do just as well, with far fewer negatives and less drama. Though it’s unsettling to imagine such a scenario, both the republic and the Democratic party would likely survive if Hillary Clinton were not to become president. Now, if the Clintons have proved anything over the years, it’s that they are resilient in the face of scandal.
So in all likelihood, Hillary hangs tight on the State Department e-mail fiasco and waits for Democrats to rally behind her. And judging from the trial balloons — “If you were a man today, would all this fuss being made be made?” — I imagine it ends with liberals generating a political melodrama that casts Hillary as the victim of the hyper-partisan He-Man Women Haters Club.
It’s nearly unthinkable that after all this time, work, and scheming, Hillary would simply abandon her quest — unless some unforeseen wrongdoing emerges that makes her unpalatable for Democrats. But if we suspend our disbelief for a moment and imagine that unethical behavior could catch up with her, the result would hardly be the tragedy many liberals would envision or the boon many conservatives would anticipate. Many Democrats probably feel as if there’s no other viable choice. But despite the generous treatment she’s received from the media, Hillary has never been an especially electrifying or potent political power. She badly fumbled away her first preordained presidential nomination to Barack Obama — falling into every trap imaginable along the way. Nearly every high-profile project she took on during her husband’s administration turned into a disaster. Her time as secretary of state is now riddled with questions.

What's the latest count on the Clinton Death List? ....
Mooch 2016...has a very strange ring to it.
She is a woman. That is good enough reason to elect her.
Just like Obama is sort of black, and that was a good enough reason to elect him.
I hope the GOP gives us someone electable.
What the heck is Hillary looking at here?? Geez.....
Even RATS are smart enough to know they’d end up in a park somewhere.
Because leftists are like the Borg from Star Trek. They collectively believe the same thing.
They wanna keep breathin’.
Why Won’t Anyone Challenge Hillary?
Let’s ask Vince Foster ...........
Same thing I would be!
The reality is it can't be HRC. They need someone with no background, no history, no experience and no baggage.
It was a winning strategy with Obama and they will stick to it.
Before the election, right our of nowhere some no name dem will magically appear. The MSM will declare him/her the most brilliant, profound, young, charismatic, handsome and holsom person who have ever lived.
This will be the person we have been waiting for!
HRC will have some health issue and have to drop out. They will wait until the last moment when there is no time to do any veting, not the the MSM would anyway.
I don't think she's got enough support outside the most rabid leftist circles to win. I'll bet it's going to be O'Malley.
You just had to bring Moochelle into this, didn't you?
The only thing O’Malley has going for him is a solid reputation as a swordsman.
Another puerile, narcissistic opportunist who thinks he can rule the world. Ptooey.
Hey, I never said he was worth more than any other useless Democrat. Your description of him only reinforces my suspicion that he'll be elevated to the top of their heap.
It’s a little early for official candidates, but Martin O’Malley (most often), Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar and Bernie Sanders have visited Iowa numerous times in the last months.
No one is challenging Hillary because no other challenger would have much of a chance of winning. The Dems may be tired of the Clintons, not trusting her or Bill, but will continue to back her because she still has a good chance of winning in 2016.
Why won’t anyone challenge Hillary? ARKANCIDE was not that long ago.
