Hillary Clinton's Circle Isn't Sure She Should Run for President in 2016
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 18 Mar 2014 | Peter Nicholas

A Hillary Clinton presidential candidacy looks like a sure thing, with marquee Democratic donors and activists mobilizing for what they see as her inevitable entrance into the 2016 race.

Yet some of Mrs. Clinton's closest confidants and allies aren't sold on the idea that she should run. Their cautions add an unpredictable element as Mrs. Clinton weighs whether to seek the presidency again, a decision she says she plans to make later this year.

One of Mrs. Clinton's top advisers and former aides, Cheryl Mills, believes she should stay out of the contest and has told her as much, according to people familiar with her views. But Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) says she encourages Mrs. Clinton to run every chance she gets.

She shouldn’t run after having a stroke.

And if she does run, she had better be honest about her health.

What difference, at this point, does it make

Rinse, repeat.

She is incapable of being honest about anything. I really believe her body is just a vessel for a dead soul.

She should wait for 2020. She will look even younger and be in better health then.

The Clintons are corrupt but they are NOT stupid.
They can see things are NOT trending their way.
I’m expecting Cory Booker to be floated in 2016 by the Chicago Machine.

And if she does run, she had better be honest about her health.

You'd think that, wouldn't you? Of course, you'll find the formula to Coca-Cola before you'll see her hubby's medical records. Or W's for that matter. When we were a free country, we demanded stuff like that.

My theory is that she has a severe alcohol problem. I think they're worried that it will become more obvious if she can't stay sober.

When was the last time the Clintoons were honest about anything?

Interesting. I have raised a similar point that after Obama beat Hillary in ‘08, his peeps are now firmly convinced that the Presidency is their personal property.

I feel the Democrat Party is going to have a really, really hard time nominating non-minorities going forward.
