Can I ask a stupid question?
Hillary was considered inevitable at this point in the 2008 election cycle. She was the front runner, it was her nomination to lose, etc.
Yet, Hillary did not win the Democrat nomination in 2008.
If Hillary was inevitable once before and was taken down, why does everyone say that she is inevitable for 2016?
And, remember that at this point in the run up to the 2008 election cycle, Barack Obama was still unknown to most Americans.
Could there be others who are plotting to take down the Clintons in 2016? Who we don’t know of yet???
Hillary will be formidable, no question. I just question all this talk of her being inevitable. We’ve played this scene before, and Ms. Pantsuit was defeated during her coronation campaign. It could happen again.
Obama has struck an LBJ note with this country divided. ‘I’ll have the sheeple voting Democrat for the next 200yrs’.
So far, it’s working. He’s successfully turned half the country into beggars.
She may be to late to the party of liberalism leadership. Hopefully by then America will have had enough radical left insanity to last a 100 years. I think Obongo and his disasters is laying waste to ANY democrats chances. I never rule out the voting dead though when it comes to electing a democrat.
Yes, and they will be just as bad as 0bama or Hillary. We need to fight against the ideology not the personality. Half of the people have bought into Progressivism and that is what is killing this country. Progressive = communist and we have to prove that that is true and show how it is self-destructive.
I think the powers that be realized that being able to call all opposition racist was more powerful than calling all opposition misogynist.
A calculated decision was made to ensure that things like taking over 1/6 of the US GDP could be accomplished.
I think Hillary stepped aside for the good of the cause. The Clintons did not fight dirty for the first time in their political careers - something was driving that change in behavior.
Christie still has time to legally change parties.
“If Hillary was inevitable once before and was taken down, why does everyone say that she is inevitable for 2016?”
She’s all they have. Look on the bright side ... she represents the end of the 1960s one way or the other. I just hope the 1960s end on election night 2016.
Overall, I don’t think she can win. I am well aware of all of America’s problems with the electorate right now ... I still don’t think she can win. People literally cringe when they hear her voice. While this nation, sadly, has a relatively large share of hardcore socialists, I don’t think they’ll turn out like they did for Obama.
She would have won in 2008, but it would have been a 2000-like election. When they’d say “Any D” is going to win the Presidency in 2008, that literally could have been any Democratic politician after Bush. Assuming things would have been the same from 2008-2012, I think she would have lost in 2012. She simply isn’t wired like Obama and his PR machine are wired.
I think she’d get beaten soundly in 2016 even with media hype. I don’t think she will run. They’re promoting the heck out of her right now since she’s the only big ticket name they have. She will not run if she doesn’t think she has a 100% shot at the Presidency. That’s going to leave the Dems with a Dukakis or Mondale like candidate in 2016.
This is all my opinion obviously ... I’ve been wrong before. I don’t think I’m wrong this time. I just hope we don’t blow that opportunity in 2016 with a certain NJ Governor.
Don’t lose hope FR ... things are looking up these next couple of years despite the current regime :-). If the weaklings can grow a pair next year and make a joke out of this “War on Women” mantra of the retarded, we can clean house in 2014 and really take it to the looney left in 2016!!! :-)
