Is Hillary Inevitable?

Mrs. Bill Clinton has no business being president of the United States, for all the reasons indicated by Mr. Buchanan.

Nonetheless, the left-controlled media has determined that she SHOULD be the next president and, therefore, it will happen, whether we like it or not.

[Tallguy]

Hillary is a “place holder”. She’ll be the de-facto nominee until she isn’t. The Democrat electorate swoons for a new face and she ain’t it.

[discostu]

Not only is she not inevitable I doubt she’ll run, and if she does run she’ll probably lose to Biden. VPs are generally the heir apparent, even though they lose almost every time.

[Alberta's Child]

A lot of people seem to forget that Hillary Clinton's last "inevitable" march to the White House was derailed by Democrats who used a jug-eared nitwit from Kenya by way of Chicago to do the job.

[discostu]

Exactly. And people actually liked her back then.

[ScottinVA]

“Is Hillary thus inevitable?”

If she runs, yes. I harbor no illusions about the brightness of the American electorate.

> Her memoir looks likely to be remaindered long before it earns her publisher anything near the $14 million advance she is rumored to have received. Somebody at Simon & Schuster is going to the wall.

While I hate to disagree with Mr. Buchanan, he's dead wrong on this point. This is one of the oldest illegal campaign donation / money laundering scams around: giving a politician an outrageous advance for a book that ends up growing mildew in a warehouse. While there may be a token firing of an irrelevant underling or two, someone at CBS Corporation (the parent corporation of Simon & Schuster, CBS, UPN, Paramount, Showtime, etc., etc., etc.) will get a bonus and a promotion for being able to buy Hilary's eternal gratitude so cheaply.

Regardless of what may happen a year or more in the future, we have a job to do right now. It is the responsibility of every conservative to point out the reality of who Hillary Clinton is and then force people to examine the motives of those who support her.

Whether "those" supporters are neighbors, family members or media a serious examination of how they are morally and ethically related should is warranted.

Hillary has proven to be an unethical lawyer who was fired for contaminating evidence, breaking the law and intimidating witnesses. She is a proven liar many times over; the most recent being Benghazi. She is not the kind of person most of us would trust to manage our business, invest our money or mentor our children.

So why would we not deny similar trusts to those who would support her?

A local candidate for commissioner, supervisor or any other office who declares to be a democrat is issuing a defacto statement that they have the same value system as Hillary, are they not?

For that reason I would never hire an accountant who contributes to democrats. I think its time for every one of us to learn to tarnish liberals with their own character and link them by association.

[ScottinVA]

And this time around, an effete mayor from San Antonio would be the designated speedbump, if the dems choose to play that card.

[cornfedcowboy]

Hillary makes a terrible candidate although the Republicans can find a way to lose.

[grania]

What if the dems pretend hillary is inevitable? Then they don't have to waste money on primary fights. They can "vote the worst" in Republican primaries. And then at the convention or not too much before they can replace her with the candidate of their choosing if hillary withdraws.

That's what I'd do if I were a sleazeball politician.

[clintonh8r]

She won’t run.

[clintonh8r]

Neither will she.

[ErnBatavia]

You can forget about Palin-anything....she’s been constantly media-mudded for seven years now, to the point she’d be unelectable.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yeah, that’s why they write more articles about her on a daily basis than any other politician except for Mr. Obama. More than Vice President Biden, Secretaries Kerry and Clinton, Sen. Reid and Rep. Pelosi, combined. Don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do.

See post 17.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Hillary is awful!

[clintonh8r]

Assuming all that is factual (questionable) it still has no direct bearing on whether she’ll run or not.
