No Democrats are willing to go on the record with their doubts about Hillary Clinton’s electability – not even the gaggle of hopeless, sad-sack nominal opponents for the nomination: Lincoln “metric system” Chafee, Bernie “socialism now!” Sanders, and Martin “the guy who taxed rain” O’Malley. But a shocking potential rival is waiting in the wings.
The realization is dawning on many in the jackass party that they have an unappealing, gaffe-prone, self-entitled, scandal-ridden presumptive nominee on their hands. I called out the growing subterranean panic three weeks ago. Now with CNN polling revealing movement away from Hillary, the conservative press (here, here, and here, for instance) is joining me in highlighting the panic that the Democrats still fear open mention of.
The problem for the Dems is that their bench is ridiculously thin. Leave aside the joke candidates already in the field, and all they’ve got is Elizabeth Warren, who, for all her socialist rhetoric (and personal profiteering from real estate flipping) and her affirmative action gamesmanship as a phony Native American, is a good talker. But even in deep blue Massachusetts she was unable to deliver a convincing victory in her Senate run. And perhaps knowing about more hypocrisy in her background, she is not anxious at all to throw herself into a run for the White House, with all the scrutiny that would entail.

But, “What difference does it make?”
Good one!
Oh, please, Lord, let it happen...
LOL!
I have been saying for months that ANY Republican can beat Hillary, so let’s get the right one.
Agree. He, Huckabee, Christy, or Graham can lose. ANY other GOP can win.
So the Tea Party is “the lesser evil?” Interesting.

Hillery will not lose. Who ever is nominated by the RINO’s will be claimed to have been a pedophile by some Dem operative; the Dem propaganda machine (i.e. mainstream media) will run with it; and the low-information voters will elect her. Case closed.
As intelligent as Michael Bloomberg is ,and he didn’t get to be a billionaire by being stupid,I sincerely believe that the man is insane
No, but many of the people they sent there were. And became greater evils shortly after.
Lest we forget, many TEA candidates were sent there specifically because of the theory that anyone had to be better than the dem they replaced. That was not universally true. Some proved to be as bad or worse when they lined up behind the Mitch/Jonbon crew and gave the dems the same things their own people would have.
My armchair diagnosis: Acute Meglomania, with intermittent Delusions of Grandeur.
Some people will always be corrupted. There is no alternative, short of violent revolution. I for one do not advocate that. And I think if you do, the rules of the site suggest you are not welcome.
Well thanks for looking out for me mom but I have never once advocated anything close to that. And if you can find an instance of me doing so, please post it so we can all revel in my zotting.
Wasn’t saying you did. So, what are you proposing?
Same thing I have since we both came to FR. Find a conservative, vote for them. Don’t waste your vote with psuedocons and rinos that WILL turn on you every time. Don’t vote for open liberals because that’s just idiocy.
Damn near the entire right wing develops a yellow stripe ever election and they convinse themselves the dem is worse and that the world is going to end THIS TIME if they don’t surrender their integrity AGAIN and vote for whatever leftist POS the GOP fronts as the last hope for saving humanity.
All that did, and history shoes the truth here, is make ot OK for the GOP to front increasingly leftist candidates.
So what do we do? Man up, be what we tell the world we are, Conservatives, and vote them in. Period. Not an Obama pne, a real Period. (.)
Don’t say we tried that since we have not since 80/84. And we landslided twice. There are 300,000,000 people in America. Do not EVEN tell me out of 300,000,000 people we can’t find a couple hundred people willing to serve to vote for.
I won't throw a vote away, but I will vote, especially in primaries, for the most conservative candidate I can find. The problem arises after primaries. What do you suggest if it's a less-than-stellar Republican? Vote 3d party? There is some merit in that.
But it also comes with huge pitfalls. I recall a CA race in which a guy named Ed Szachau (sp?) ran against either Boxer or Feinstine. He had a chance to beat her, but he was pro choice. Still, he said he would vote with the GOP majority on all judges. He lost and we lost the senate by a hair, and the result (if I recall all this right) was Ginsberg.
So I'm not opposed to voting third party, but I'm not going to as a rule just waste a vote that will affect a few things positively for the conservative cause even if it won't affect most things positively.
Whether she is a loser or not all depends on who the Republicans nominate.
Saying and doing are different things. Lots of freepers and the base as a whole, say all kinds of chest thumping things for 3 1/2 years and have a come to GOP moment in the final stretch.
EVERY election. It’s not debatable. It’s history. A wasted vote is voting and ‘winning’ only to have your winner do everything you supposedly elected him to oppose. What good exactly is a Pub that votes with and for the Dem agenda? What exactly?
