Mary Matalin: Hillary Won't Even Run

The wide variety of potential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination boils down to one question in many quarters — which one can beat Hillary Clinton?

But to at least one powerful Republican consultant, Mary Matalin, the "Hillary" question is pointless.

"Hillary Clinton’s lead is ephemeral," Matalin told Politico Magazine. "As soon as she gets in, if she gets in, she will be challenged and it will evaporate. Just the nature of the beast. I predict she doesn’t run."

Political consultant and media strategist Mark McKinnon predicts a "Clash of the Titans" battle between Clinton and Bush for the White House in 2016.

"Jeb Bush is the sort of pragmatic, common-sense and compassionate conservative Republicans need to win back the White House," said McKinnon. "He’d attract Hispanics and likely win the key electoral prize of his home state, Florida. And he has a great record to run on, including some innovative, forward-thinking strategies like early childhood investment. Florida leads the country in the number of four-year olds in literacy programs—over 70 percent, and Jeb did it without increasing taxes."

McKinnon said he is not worried about either Bush or Clinton being too familiar for voters to choose....

Mary Matalin: Hillary Won't Even Run

Well, being married to Serpenthead....she oughta know.

They DO look worse! Also, you have to wonder....don’t plastic surgeons have examples of past work for potential patients to view? I can’t understand looking at photos of such weird results and saying, “Yes, you’re the doctor I want!”

[dennisw]

She will run whatever her health situation is. Why? She is addicted to power. And there are drugs that can keep her looking energetic and alert. Even in the early 60s, JFK was a mess physically, but drugs kept him going—the Public never suspected a thing.

She also has thousands of "friends" and hangers on who are also addicted to Federal power and are pushing her to run. So the decision is not just hers. If Hillary becomes president these friends and associates get high FedGov appointments and crony capitalist deals.

"Then you see the ones that weren't satisfied with their 1st surgery so they went back again and again. Getting worse each time."

Yes, I've heard of that happening....it's a vicious cycle. Very sad.

In fact, it was Hillary Clinton who originally used the wonderfully reassuring “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”

Now THAT is interesting! HA! Wonder who their nominee will be - I think probably no one wants to do it. Obama is a hard act to follow - if you're a rat.

[erod]

She’s running she’s the Dems best hope to finish America off.

[MHGinTN]

You still believe there will even be presidential elections in 2016. How nice.

[manic4organic]

She is too power hungry not to run. The only way I see her not doing it is if Benghazi fully blows up in her face.

What’s Wrong With the Republican Party in Two Words: Mark McKinnon

[Bull Cy]

Hillary looks haggard and old and the illusion of brilliance has faded. Hard to represent the beautiful Hollywood elite if you’re not photogenic.

[pithyinme]

I am one. I could never support Christie for his Judas & self serving choices in 2012.

[DuncanWaring]

I was wondering if anyone else had inquired as to Mr. Matalin’s thoughts on the issue.

[Elsie]

My thoughts, too.

**Hillary Won’t Even Run**

I agree. I think she is very ill.

[nascarnation]

Not to ill to scoop up a quick $200k for her speech to NADA:

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’ve seen corpses that looked better.

[Kickass Conservative]

Hillary could be stuffed in a Freezer at the Coroner’s Office and she would still get 90% of the Democrat Vote.

My Lib B-I-L Loves her because she is “educated”. I asked him what she ever accomplished and I never got a straight answer from him.

Of course, he thinks Governor Palin is uneducated and the reason that McCain put her on the Ticket is that “people like me” would Vote for him.

[dennisw]

Just shows how many intelligent educated people vote based on a media created image. They are too lazy to look deeper.

In addition to all the idiots who vote based on image

[Elsie]

**Hillary Won’t Even Run**

If she does; the shock of those thunder thighs pumping up and down on the stump will the trigger the New Madrid and us in Hoosier land will be in for quite a ride!

[Elsie]

Not to ill to scoop up a quick $200k for her speech to NADA:

Damn my high school consuler!

I went into the wrong field!
