A Republican's Nightmare? Really? Remember 2008? Everyone thought Hillary was inevitable then.

hillary is only unbeatable if the opponent is the likes of Jeb or Christie or any other RINO. They've already compromised their position, and we need someone who will change directions for the US.
Maybe someone will emerge on the HOR Banaghazi panel who is smart, articulate, quick thinking and understands the law and foreign affairs.

I've been saying all along....they'll use Hillary just like they did the last time and pull another articulate communist out from somewhere...........and hammer her. Some people don't learn.
I thought the grandchild would be her excuse but now I think she's gonna get sick a couple times.
To: grania
I will suggest that that person is Trey Gowdy!

Well, back then we were worried about Porky Pig and got Godzilla instead. Not the greatest trade-off. Hopefully this time, whoever beats her will be smart enough to take down this $4 trillion government and replace it with freedom and the free market economy.

Problem the rats will have is differentiating Obama’s failures with what Hillary can bring to the table. She offers nothing that could change America.
It is only more of the same, except instead of Republicans being racists, they will now be sexists.

I don’t think she gets nominated. Too much baggage. She will be as old as Reagan when he was elected, and on her the years wear harder. Look for some other woman to be the nominee. Like Fauxcahantas, the Left which rules the Rats right now would love her.

This is NOT 2008. Our has changed radically since then.

Poll after poll shows that most Americans hold to Conservative ideology. We just need someone who is politically smart enough to outwit the Democrats who are a helluva lot smarter than our team, as this Article, so effectively, pointed out. Secondly......
Without using the phrase "Identity Politics", that's really what this Article was all about. As long as we keep nominating rich, old, white farts for the Presidency we will lose. What's wrong with nominating a Conservative woman or a Conservative Hispanic? IMO, Susana Martinez, Gov. of New Mexico fills the bill on both accounts. But, to hell with common sense; the GOP will nominate Rand Paul or Jeb Bush or Rob Portman or Scott Walker or some other lily white Anglo-Saxon Protestant and we will be stuck with Dems from here until eternity. I doubt that I will ever see another Republican in the White House in my lifetime.
And finally: Sad to say, the majority of the American voters do not give a sh** about Benghazi.

Our “what?” has changed radically? Our culture? Yes. Our demographics? Yes. Our values? Yes. Just wondering what word you left out.

The Clintons have never been very ‘popular’ with the Dem-elites.
Considering how the MSM had Ms Inevitable on her way to her coronation in 2008, it was rather surprising that a young upstart who only had a short stint in the state legislature and 2 years in the US Senate managed to derail her trek.
No doubt there are plenty who would vote for ABC* in 2016 Dem primaries, too.

Across the aisle, the GOP will find similar problems, especially if/when they nominate a elite. They didn’t learn anything from 1996 or 2008 or 2012.
Many on the Right have an ABB** situation and a bunch of retreads from 2008/2012 hinting they they will try again.

It’s been said here that Gowdy supports the invasion of the US.

I'd be surprised if anyone who doesn't 100% support ending the invasion of the US and sending home invaders could win. For a lot of us, saving the US starts there. I don't want a woman or hispanic, it looks like pandering.
The problem we have now is that no one had the instincts to rise up quickly and command issues such as Bundy (federal over-reach), the kidnapping of school girls in Nigeria (the effects of supporting terrorists), the burning of churches and Syria and Egypt (we're supporting the wrong side). Those were opportunities lost to define the issues.

Thanks, TG, I read it. Gowdy's immigration position is written intelligently and clearly. He's real good about secure the borders first and enforce the laws. He didn't say anything about EVerify, which is the other necessary piece.
He did say something about "compassion for the politically oppressed". Uh....didn't the Tsarnov brothers who blew up the Boston marathon get here because they were "politically oppressed"? With all of the terrorists on the loose all over the globe (thanks, Obama), it's a real bad idea to let anyone in the US because of oppression; we just don't know what skills and passions they bring with them. What's to stop the animosities from spilling over into the US?
I will grant you that Gowdy has thought about the issue. Maybe he'll be the guy to emerge. I sure hope somebody does.

“looks like pandering” to whom? I don’t know how old you are but have you lived your entire life worried about what people think rather than doing what’s right? If so, you must be most miserable. To hell with what it “looks like”.
