Warren Buffett is predicting that Hillary Clinton will not only run for president in 2016, but that she will also win the election.

'Hillary is going to run,' said the billionaire investor while speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit in Laguna Niguel, California, earlier today.

He then went one step further, telling the audience, 'Hillary's going to win.' uffett famously supported both President Barack Obama and Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary, going to great lengths to let people know how capable and talented he believed both candidates were in a 2007 interview with The New York Times.

He then added that betting money is not something he does easily.

Speculation has swirled for years now as to whether former Secretary of State Clinton will throw her hat into the ring for the next election.

While she is considered a potential contender, if not the front-runner, for the job, she herself has yet to announce her decision on running.

'She's going to announce it as late as possible,' Buffett speculated.

He’s the 3rd richest man in the world. I doubt she has anything on him, nor does anyone else. He could buy the FBI.....just as he bought Obumbler.

He should be in jail for not paying his “fair share”, but he knows the IRS won’t touch him because he gives tens of thousands to Dems in every election cycle. The Democrats, like the Mafia, operate on protection money.

Buffet, Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, Soros and their ilk are the puppet masters. These are the fascists that want to enslave us and kill us. These type of people must be exposed and vilified whenever possible. These are the people that should face Nuremberg type trials.

An old rich guy seeking to add another politician to his portfolio. Yawn.

Call me when Warren Buffett replaces God.

“These type of people must be exposed and vilified whenever possible. These are the people that should face Nuremberg type trials.”

If only. I’m sure their $$$ would make that entirely impossible. Remember how many people managed to “commit suicide” while the Clintons (yea....plural) were in office? Same would happen trying to come up against any of those billionaires....and likely worse such as just disappearing for ever.

RE :”

Clinton's have already started throwing Obama under the bus to prep for a Hillary run, with Leon Panetta joining in.

They know that the stupid Kardasian millennium voters wont remember how the Clinton s campaigned for Obama in 2012.

Everything is calculated with the Clintons.

1. Get her media and liberal support group saying she will win, for a few years leading up to the election. Its all about inevitability. Basically get out the message “why bother running against Hillary, she will win anyway.”

2. Get her media and liberal support group to complain about her being too centrist, to paint her as a conservative democrat. The ultra liberal will end up voting for whoever the democrat nominee is so this is a no risk endeavor.

We are going to hear the above happen over and over and over again until the election. I can’t see that anybody really likes her, its just that her name is recognizable for the uninformed masses, and they have heard the above hammered home again and again. The uninformed will typically vote for who they think will win, and the more centrist of a candidate that they perceive will work across the aisle.

I have worked with people who where reasonably smart, but did not pay any attention to politics, knew nothing of the candidates, where completely disengaged about everything related to politics and that never watched the news or read the news. How do you get these people to wake up and pay attention? I know this is why we have ended up with Obama as President TWICE. Its these type of people who put him into office, and its these type of people we have to wake up.

“I can’t see that anybody really likes her,”

How I wish that were true. We have a cousin who is liberal Democrat. Never married @ 60 yrs. old because she HATES men in general. Very, bitter and selfish lady. Needless to say we rarely hear from her if at all unless she needs something, but she LOVES Hitlery. Loves her and actually believes she’d make a wonderful president. Has been saying so since she ran for nomination and lost to the Obumbler. Commented how much “better” things would be had she been president instead.
