John McCain says Hillary Clinton would win the White House if the 2016 election were held today

Self-described 'Maverick' Senator John McCain is making waves with his defeatist statements about how formidable Hillary Rodham Clinton will be as a presidential candidate, predicting that she would win if the 2016 election were held in 2014.

'I would bet, my friend, as much as I hate to admit it,' McCain told Piers Morgan during his Thursday night CNN broadcast, 'that right now – this is why we have campaigns – but right now, if the election were tomorrow, Hillary Clinton would most likely be the president of the United States.'

The Arizona pol and 2008 Republican presidential nominee was responding to comments from Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, who told a columnist that Americans weren't ready for a female president – at least not as much as they were eager to elect an African-American.

No, “normalcy bias” is a psychological thing people do when there is a crisis, or rapid negative change, or similar horrible stuff. I’m not saying YOU have normalcy bias.

Normalcy bias prevents a person from reacting properly, because they either can’t see the threat, can’t believe it’s happening, or don’t get the seriousness of the situation.

So while some of us see big problems, others can’t because of “normalcy bias”, thinking that things are chugging along as usual. Wiki has a good article on it.

Thanks for the explanation, FRiend!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Nice graphics, Conor!

Thanks for the kind words, DBrow. I'm sure it will be no surprise to you that I'm in high dudgeon over the Benghazi Massacre and the Obama Regime's despicable machinations in its aftermath.

I hate to say that I agree with you, but I do.

1) Free pass on Benghazi. Yes, that’s what she got from the committee. “What difference does it make?!” and she was free to go.

2) Liberal women, and there are countless numbers of them. Brainwashed by the 40+ years of lies this culture has presented them.

3) As far as appearance goes, she can afford the best plastic surgeons. There will be a makeover of epic proportions before 2016 for Hillary.

4) As you pointed out, millions of people accustomed to their free stuff.

5) And the kicker: the GOP will put forth a snoozer candidate who will stumble and mumble, and the press will tear him apart.

yup, this time i PRAY TO GOD that i am wrong... but i don't think so

I am sure all of us Voted for Ubama at least Twice.

Whether you knew it or not.

McLame just did it willingly.

The only way Hillary can win is if the GOP candidate takes a dive, like Juan McLame and Mitt Romneycare did to put Bathhouse Barry into the White Hut. Watching the GOP savage the TEA Party I predict Hillary in 2016.
