“a candidate who appears to be waltzing to the nomination with minimal effort”

That’s the same campaign tactic Greg Abbott is using to campaign for governor of Texas.

And the Republican National Committee has taken the unusual step of voting to prevent NBC News and CNN from hosting GOP primary debates unless NBC Entertainment (which is separate from NBC News) and CNN’s documentary divisions cease planned biographical movies about the former first lady.

At least the reporter acknowledges the conflict of interest, filming Hillary promotional materials (he calls 'biographical') and yet hosting the debates.

The false thing here is saying it was to 'prevent' them from doing so. That is simply impossible. I blame that on typical lousy liberal reporting and bias.

This is a scripted episode. A bunch of high-priced political gamers are in need of paying job right now. So, Hillary’s episode is perfectly scripted for them. They get hired up by the end of 2013, and continually drain on her Iowa campaign effort. By primary time....half of her campaign chest is empty and if she loses Iowa (which has been proven now possible)....then the story kinda ends with Hillary going home early.

Hillary should go home right now, but she’s madly power driven. She was not qualified to be secretary of state or anything else. She’s been an incompetent, sneaky liar all her life from what the record reveals.

Totally disagree. They will say negative things about her, then GUSH about her 6 months out about how FABULOUS she has run her campaign and what a FABULOUS President she’ll make!!!

The Schizophrenia is also affecting RINOs like McCain who complains we lost credibility in the mid east but that hillary is a celebrity. The RINOs are going to have to either go with serious or glitter. I’m not holding my breath and begging them to get out the closet and stopped pretending.

It’s hers to lose. Bengazigate, Travelgate, Fosterfate, White watergate, Dixiemafia, Clinton body count. Chime in to what I missed.

The Dem base is easily swayed by a slickly-packaged newcomer (Bill Clinton. Barry Soetero) and will go for him over the familiar. Hillary is by now an old warhorse. The inevitability strategy is exactly the wrong way to win the Democrat nomination. Didn’t work for her in ‘08, won’t work for her in ‘16.

She’s running like a John McCain in an ugly pants suit yelling, “It’s my turn!” Something awfly Rhino a out that!

And for the first time since I can't remember, the RINOs don't have a clear frontrunner. Their money is divided this time, while the Tea Party candidate seems to be Cruz.

It seems like we're getting some help from above.

As long as the pantsuit cankles remains ‘in no way tiiirred’ she’ll be a shoe-in.

Even when they think they should shut up about her, they don’t shut up about her. “Let’s don’t talk about Hillary!”

A week later....”Well, pretty quiet week and we’ve refrained from talking about a fantastic Hillary-run potential in 2016 .... but ....let’s ..... not ..... talk ....about .....Hillary! Mums’ the word! Sshhhhhhh!”

A month later...”We’ve been amazingly successful about ‘not talking about Hillary’ [no-jinxies, takebacks or crybabies], haven’t we?.....But, seriously folks, LET’s NOT TALK ABOUT HILLARY, you guys...c’mon now [Loose lips sink ships!].......blah blah blahity blah.

The whole idea of a Hillary run in 2016 reminds me of a pole vaulter in a cartoon. Great run up. Then...oops!

Hillary is not going to clear that bar. Not even if she fires up her old broomstick.

Anyway, how hard can it be for the ‘Rats to drum up another charismatic young non-white candidate?

Don’t know what defines a front-runner, at this stage, but the media favorite is already a loser named Bush.

It is a win-win situation for the Hildabeast and her lackey family members. If she wins she will be the first female president. If she looses, she will have collected billions of dollars in campaign contributions that she will keep. I think she is in it for the money more than anything.

Hillary is the easiest Dem candidate to run against. Let’s not sink her candidacy.
