Why Hillary’s high numbers (even among Republicans!) won’t last
Fox News ^ | May 19, 2014 | Howard Kurtz

Some 57 percent of Americans “who were aware of Clinton” (isn’t that everyone?) have a favorable opinion, while 43 percent see her negatively. And “nearly one-quarter of Republicans said they had a favorable view of Clinton.” That’s pretty remarkable in a polarized electorate, suggesting a certain crossover appeal.

Clinton was most frequently described as “strong,” but “‘Benghazi’ was the term that stood out most when respondents who said they had an unfavorable view of Clinton were asked to explain this perspective.”

And therein lies the rub. […]

“The reality is that if nothing extraordinary happens, the only person who could keep Hillary Clinton from being the party’s nominee would be Clinton herself,” says The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza. […] “But Clinton would be 69 years old on election day 2016, and couple her age with that scare in late 2012 and it’s hard to imagine Clinton not taking a full accounting of her health before officially deciding to run.” …

I am sure that Bill loves Hillary enough that he will talk her out of running.

If she runs she will be elected.

All the brilliant intellectual Progressives, all the
really-really smart Independents and the hardcore
fourty-percenters-plus in the electorate will run to the polls to vote for the female messiah.

IMHO

Another consequence of feminism/romanticism—that and the economy.

Many will vote for her as seen in the primary debacle a few years ago, and many will regret it. The Obama show will be nothing compared to the Hillary show. Common, working men who’ve survived so far, get yourselves situated and stock up on popcorn. There are surprises ahead.

If Hillary threw Chelsea’s baby down the toilet for sake of being their President, they would be hoping mad in adoration of her.

Liberals are evil.

I am afraid that this intellectually and morally bankrupt nation might just be stupid enough to do what you suggest. Anyone who is not VERY CONCERNED by the fact that there are so many people who think Hillary Clinton should be president simply has no understanding of what is going on. I have no doubt whatsoever that a short time spent interviewing residents in the South Carolina mental health facilities would very quickly turn up a much better candidate than Hillary Clinton.

This is the only race Hillary should consider entering soon.

Never mind the entry requirements, the nature of the contest is such that it doesn’t matter.

I would vote for Clinton over a lot of Repubs. Certainly over any Bush.
