Hillary will never win the Presidency unless there are at least three candidates running. With her money and ability to raise a lot more especially if she brings Slickie along she can dole it our here and there,but the Dems want to win so badly they can taste it, and they know they cannot win with the shrew. If Hillary tries to pull some crappola and stick it to others that are running against her you may see a lot more publications pointing valid fingers at her corruption/malfeasance. They will burn her if she gets in their path of having a Candidate for President that can actually win. They have valuable lessons in Gore and Kerry.
McCain.
On point, Samantha. With Bill Clinton as example (Ross Perot as 3rd party candidate), I think that Clinton people (like Carville, Bagala & Podesta) are on this route already. Recently, they interviewed 2 people (republican & democrat whom I didn't recognize) trying to field a 3rd party candidate. I felt that this was the handiwork of Clinton people.
But did they learn them? I think not. If anything, they are being pushed further to the Left by the moonbats and Mooreon.orgs. The center of the Dem party has lurched leftward. I think they have to go al the way to the bottom before they can come back up. IMHO, they're still going down the hill.
We shall see. If she wins the primaries, there is very little they can do. If it comes down to supporting Hillary versus a Rep, the publications [I presume you mean the MSM] will support Hillary.
They have valuable lessons in Gore and Kerry.
Gore won the popular vote and many Dems still cling to the fiction that SCOTUS and the GOP stole the election from them.
As far as Kerry is concerned, the Dems voted for him vice Dean because they thought he was electable. Kerry came close. He received 9 million votes more than Gore and the second most for any Presidential candidate in American history. He lost the electoral vote narrowly. Again the Dems thought that the GOP stole the election in Ohio through fraud.
I think the many of Hillary's possible Dem opponents are part of the cabal against her along with the DNC. She is the front runner and they are, with the help of the MSM, pushing the idea that she can't win to help dry up her money raising, which is suffocating the rest of the field. Hillary was the topic this morning on MTP and Fox news. For the MSM it is Hillary all the time, favorable and unfavorable.
John McCain will oblige her.
The PTB's know that what has worked before will usually work again. There have been two successful derailments and hijackings of the electoral will of the people via thrid parties previously: 1. Teddy Roosevelt and the Bull Moose Party (funded and supported by the same financial and media interests which supported Wilson) gave us Woodrow Wilson, and of course 2. Ross Perot.
I fully believe McCain is demented enough and stupid enough to play their willing dupe for a third round of divide and conquer.
