And then there's that whole Benghazi and Russian "reset" stuff

A Hillary Clinton presidential candidacy looks like a sure thing, with marquee Democratic donors and activists mobilizing for what they see as her inevitable entrance into the 2016 race.
Yet some of Mrs. Clinton’s closest confidants and allies aren’t sold on the idea that she should run. Their cautions add an unpredictable element as Mrs. Clinton weighs whether to seek the presidency again, a decision she says she plans to make later this year.
One of Mrs. Clinton’s top advisers and former aides, Cheryl Mills, believes she should stay out of the contest and has told her as much, according to people familiar with her views. But Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) says she encourages Mrs. Clinton to run every chance she gets.
Others close to Mrs. Clinton worry that another campaign would test her stamina as she moves into her late 60s and would revive scandals from Bill Clinton’s White House that could prove personally painful.
Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, a longtime friend of the Clintons who has made films for their past campaigns, said she thinks Mrs. Clinton would like to run, and that she would like to see her friend do what makes her happiest.
She added: “I’m not in the political camp; I’m in the friends camp. And the friends camp definitely has concerns about her running.”
As I have stated here many times before, Hillary is an awful candidate and I am not sure why so many Republicans worry about her. She won her first campaign because Rudy Giuliani got cancer. That propelled her to an easy win against a sacrificial lamb of a candidate in her second one. In 2008, she was the overwhelming favorite to win the nomination and the White House, and we know how that turned out.
If we are getting the “concerned friends” blah blah from the always carefully controlled Clinton spin machine, it must mean that even they know the progs are going to keep pressing Elizabeth Warren to run. They want there to be an exit strategy in order to avoid Madame Overrated being embarrassed in another presidential race.
I’ve long said that Obama will make ANY Democrat toxic by the time he leaves office..that’s why she won’t run..she’ll know she can’t win...
If she did have a small stroke.....
And then there's that whole Benghazi and Russian "reset" stuff
The Dems I know are muttering about Elizabeth Warren Shootingbull.
Tis time to start building a list of all of Hillary’s transgressions starting with her criminal conduct during Nixon’s potential impeachment.
Ssssh! Personally I think we should lead the Dems down the Hillary path as long as possible! Encourage them to donate their millions and get hyped up. It’s a win either way..
Let’s just say Hillary doesn’t want to run for whatever reason. Great, works for me!
Let’s say Hillary does NOT want to run but is pressured into it by big donors worried about lack of candidate develpment in the Dem party....she’ll suck,,,because she’ll sabotage it herself....and those millions will be on a lost cause.
If she does run, the conversation changes yet again.
I absolutely agree. That B totally supported Obamacare from A - Z and she now knows that that and Benghazi and her health and the fact that so many hate her passionately spell doom for her candidacy. This is to say nothing of BJ Clinton’s spiraling reputation.
I keep looking for an ambitious prosecutor somewhere to slap a murder charge on BJ. To be sure, it would be instant overnight fame for him /her.
I simply think she is not healthy enough to handle the job. She'll be 69 in 2016, and she has nowhere near the vigor that Reagan possessed.
She wants a coronation, but she's not going to get it, even from the Democrats.
IMHO, 2016 will be “now or never” for Hillary. If she doesn’t run next time, she never will. She’ll be in her 70’s come 2020, and frankly, Bubba’s own health issues are such that he might not be able to campaign for her six years from now.
I'd go back even further to her senior thesis at Wellesley which was a paean to Obama's guiding light, Saul Alinsky. We don't want Hillary to be able to get too much daylight between her and Obama. Keep them glued together.
...and will any opponents dare to confront it in public?
LOL :D
I agree with you. The morons would love another ‘historic’ election - a woman president. She got one-upped by white guilt last time. Now the women will want their turn. God help us if she’s the candidate!
Andrew Cuomo.
Watch Chelsea. Bill is a player but Chelsea will be privvy to *every* detail of her mother’s health and situation and what she says (or doesn’t say or do) will be the telltale. And Chelsea will think “mom” first, before “Hillary the candidate”.
Here’s my theory. Hitlary sees 2016 as a lost cause due to The Chosen One’s incompetence and Obamacare blowback. She’ll be awful old by 2020.
“So, Mrs. Clinton. You were married to the first disbarred, impeached serial rapist. Since you found that out, what did you do to ensure that women everywhere would be empowered enough to rid themselves of having a husband like that?”
Shoot. Alan Alda has a better chance of becoming the first woman president than Hillary.
