Hillary Clinton Will Never Be President: Her ship has come in, but has it also sailed? (Yes, it has)

Until recently, the conventional wisdom among Beltway elites was that Hillary Clinton would waltz, or at least walk unassisted, to the Democratic nomination in 2016. Now that narrative has come under attack, amid mounting evidence that Hillary’s most recent quest for power has already failed.

Consider, for example, the embarrassingly sparse crowd at Georgetown University on Wednesday, where Clinton delivered a lecture on “Smart Power: Security Through Inclusive Leadership.”

Tickets to Clinton’s Georgetown event were offered to all students. School says less interest is byproduct of last week of classes/finals.

This is precisely the demographic Hillary will have to turn out in large numbers to be successful in 2016. Anyone who thinks she can come close to inspiring the same amount of enthusiasm among people as Barack Obama is kidding themselves. In fact, Hillary has been struggling to draw crowds of all ages.

Gov. Deval Patrick (D., Mass.) has said the sense of inevitability surrounding Hillary’s candidacy is “off-putting to voters.” The American people view inevitability as a sense of entitlement, Patrick said on Meet The Press, and prefer candidates who make an affirmative case for themselves. “The American people want–and ought to want–their candidates to sweat for the job, to actually make a case for why they are the right person at the right time,” he said.

Meanwhile, recent polling suggests Hillary’s aura of inevitability is fading.

If she is unable to turn out Georgetown Students (Sandra Fluke types) she is in trouble.

Democrats have probably told her to back off to make way for Elizabeth Warren...(sarc)

Did she really go to rehab, for alcohol? Or was that satire last week?

Same thing will happen to Jeb.

Americans don’t like people who are full of it.

300 students to hear her comes to 1,000 a head for comp.

She had a ship alright. The SS Titanic.

[Grampa Dave]

She is an ugly and very old rich white hag.

She really has nothing to offer to the voters, who might help her win.

hard to make way when you are heavy in the stern.

I pray that everyone else is right on this, but it seems I recall a presidential candidate who had an affair which came to light in 1992.  Hmm, whatever came of that guy?

Bill Cosby reminds us all of who Hillary is married to.

Benghazi showed that when She got the 3 AM call She screwed it up.

The Arab Spring, Iran Nukes, Russian Imperialism all show she was a disaster as a manager, international affairs expert.

Just being around Obama has tarnished her as it has everyone else.

Hillary, retire and get a good face lift.

They should rename her fundraising campaign, “Cash for Clunkers II”.

Ol bag lady Hillary doesn’t turn them on the way the mulatto messiah did. She’s too freakin old to win same as John McCain was.
