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 Hillarys 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.
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 Hillarys 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 wantand ought to wanttheir 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.

“Same thing will happen to Jeb.”
Except: If Jeb is the GOP candidate, Hillary *could* win.

Its not her age that is as old as her ideas being old that is the problem. A good face lift could help the former, but old hippy ideas really date her.

Any Democrat is a disaster, so we should root for the one most likely to lose.

The funny thing is that Obama has taken away all of their talking points. Her silence is an endorsement of everything he has done the past 6 years.
Hillary is an empty pants suit with nothing to say and nothing to offer.
a. More EPA regulations?
b. Amnesty for more illegals?
c. Pulling back on international intervention?
d. A better health care plan?
e. Stimulus for jobs?
f. Minimum wage hikes?
g. Equal pay?
h. Relaxed drug laws?
Does any rank and file Democrat think we haven’t had enough of this? That we need more of these tired solutions to make the country better?
If only we could get the right communicator out of the Republican party who is immune to the media attacks [the big question], we could set back the Democrats and liberals for a generation of back bench status.

Well, if not her then who will it be? Warren? Biden? Brown? And would either of these win the general? I sure hope not but I fear they may actually be worse than Hillary (and yes, there is worse than Hillary).

If I were to choose the “best” ( note the quotes ) of the lot, I’ll chose former Secretary of Navy who already announced his candidacy — Jim Webb.

To: stephenjohnbanker
Look at the freak show that is the Obama administration.
He’s demonstrably worse that Carter. Unlike Clinton, he hasn’t had a Congress that pulled his bacon out of the fire checking spending and allowing the economy to grow.
It was easy to see what Obama would be. If you knew his past, who he hung out with, who his affiliations were with, it could only spell disaster.
Bush handed off a national disgrace. That and the nomination of John McCain prevented another Reagan from being born.
The likes of Obama should never have become president. And then they ran Romney. Once again, the birth of another Reagan was avoided.
The prognosis for 2016, is more of the same. They haven’t learned their lesson yet. The nation is in serious free-fall, and the best they can do to spur the economy, is put more U. S. middle class workers out of work.
This new “class” they are building, will not support the America we knew. It will destroy our heritage.
So I would say right here and now, all bets are off.
This nation is circling the drain. If people don’t pull their head’s out and right now, it’s over.
Look at what Mexico is folks.
Every bit of that is coming here. Hell, it’s already here.

That seems to be the desired goal. No upward mobility for the average American. Cheap labor for the Chamber of Commerce. And most Americans have no idea how bad it will get.

I think Warren looks much healthier than Hillary.
That will be an unspoken selling point if she becomes the candidate of the Chicago Mob in 2016.
