Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Need a Primary Fight - It's like she's an incumbent already...
New York Times ^ | April 13, 2015 | Nate Cohn

Posted on 04/13/2015 7:18:53 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Hillary Clinton has a better chance of winning her party’s nomination without a serious contest than any nonincumbent in the modern era. If that happens, she will be lucky to avoid the fight. Most of the concerns about an unopposed Clinton candidacy are overstated, and there are big reasons she will benefit from running unopposed in the presidential primary......

But primary campaigns tend to expose the flaws of fundamentally weak candidates.......

[SNIP]

....Mrs. Clinton has a good chance of fending off these charges with a unified Democratic Party........Controversies about the Clintons — like over the Clinton Foundation or her email account — are far less likely to take hold if Democrats defend her.

Her total political experience entering the 2016 contest is probably more akin to that of an incumbent president than anything else....

Perhaps she’s rustier than most — it has been seven years since she last ran — but it’s not as if Mrs. Clinton will be on the sidelines for the next year.....and she’ll have plenty of opportunities over the next year and half to get back up to speed.

Couldn’t stand to read the article. The local (CBS owned) all “news” station has led off EVERY segment every 10 minutes with a report that she’s driving in a van 1000 miles to Iowa after her announcement. Like they’re trying to change her image into a woman of the commoners. yeah, right.

Why don’t some unknown tea party folks run in the Democrat election?

They’re circling the wagons like the Clintons knew that they would.

We should never miss an opportunity to remind liberals that they aren’t being given a choice.

I can’t wait until the parody “Scooby Doo Doo” vans start driving around to make fun of the Clinton campaign. Hillary goes into full moron mode when she tries to convince us that she is one of us.

They don’t want a choice. They want other people’s money and they want their stuff on a regular basis and without interruption.

There are plenty of unhappy liberals out there and its our duty to keep them agitated.

I'd like to come up with a hard hitting (not wordy) tagline bumper sticker to distribute that can be surreptitiously placed on cars displaying Hillary stickers.

READY FOR HILLARY

...maybe she lies, but she's a woman

...forget her failures, it's her turn

...forget the law, she's a woman

...forget Benghazi, she's a Clinton

...because I'm a woman and I've been told how to vote

...help us finish Obama's transformation

We need to enjoy this.

She's the prohibitive favorite, their albatross..... "someone with a burden or obstacle is said to have "an albatross around their neck", the punishment given in the poem to the mariner who killed the albatross...."
