If all the Democrats have for 2016 is the shopworn Hillary Clinton (and it looks like that’s it), they are toast again. Republicans have a good stable of legitimate and qualified candidates, particularly successful governors.
That’s the thing . . . as attractive as I find Ted Cruz, adults should be scouting for a Republican governor who can win in purple territory. Those people aren’t necessarily Tea Party types, tho. So the question is whether there is a Scott Walker or a John Kascich with whose incorrect stances we can agree to disagree. Even Sarah Palin has her downside, after all.But when you look at the history, senators don’t beat presidents or governors very often. So if the dems nominate Hillary, we should nominate Scott Walker or some other governor - and take our chances. Of course, de facto if not de jure, Hillary was sort of POTUS after the Lewinski affair blew up on Bill. But to that extent, she doesn’t deserve to have a third term.
