The Obama administrations numerous foreign-policy failures will be a serious problem for her 2016 candidacy.
Like it or not, the 2016 presidential race is now well under way. Republican candidates are flocking to Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, while Hillary Clinton, in-between $200,000 speeches at universities, is reported to be in seclusion developing her economic policies.
Its easy to get overwhelmed by minutiae, but sometimes a twist of events turns out to be important, even twelve months away from the first caucuses and primaries. And of course, always keep in mind that most minutiae turn out to be trivial.
Amid all this, its important to keep in mind changes in the broader political environment changes which could make this electoral cycle different in some non-trivial way from the small number of electoral cycles in the recent past. I see two broad developments which could make 2016 different.
One is the increasing salience of foreign policy and the increasing discontent with the foreign policies of the Obama administration. This was not the case in the first Obama term, when the president got negative marks on most domestic issues but passing grades on foreign policy.
Thus the 2012 Obama campaign spent little time or money highlighting the incumbents great policy achievement, Obamacare. It highlighted instead his administrations success in killing Osama bin Laden a proxy for the broader argument that he was ending disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and reducing the threat of Islamist terrorists (never explicitly identified that way) to tolerable levels.
Mitt Romney was ridiculed for calling Russia our No. 1 geopolitical foe and for insisting the terrorist threat was not quelled. And of course he brought no foreign-policy experience to the table.

Bill Clinton and pedophile island will IMO be a problem.
Campaign strategists warned Hillary her "tone" is important.....( to better dupe the voters).
THE KELLY FILE ran a news clip of Hilly sing-songing "the cancer of inequality" in a contrived sap-happy, chirpy voice, wearing a h-u-g-e phony grin.
Reminded me of the classic Willam Castle horror movie, "Mr Sardonicus," (whose face becomes frozen in a horrifying grin while robbing the coffin of his father's grave).
Hillary wears her perpetual 2016 game face.
Just think, if Slick gets to be first man he'll be able to sneak LOADS of girls into the Oval Office.
Hillary's puny fem-lib head won't fit in O's Commander in Chief hat, either.
In seclusion???? If you are to believe Esquire Magazine, they said she might be in Alcohol Rehab. Haven’t heard much about that since they reported it.
There...fixed.
That’s a face of nightmares.
The movie was scary, too...
After the fiasco with the DHS funding, I wonder just how many voters will be will be willing to turn both the legislative and executive branches over this bunch.
I know I will be thinking twice.
Epstein kept Bill Clinton on speed dial as reports surfaced about Bill Clinton attending sex parties at Epstein's "Orgy Island." Lawyers perusing documents stumbled upon e-mail addresses and 21 phone numbers for the fun-loving ex-president and his personal aide, Doug Band, stashed away in Jeffrey Epsteins electronic directory, according to court documents.
========================================================
QUESTION: Why do the Clintons need 21 phone numbers? Does every phone number have an address and/or PO box number? L/E knows that is an indication of money-laundering and tax evasion.
CASE IN POINT One two-year federal investigation revealed an elaborate web to carry out multiple frauds. The frauds were carried out using non-existent people using fake identities, fraudulent SS nos, and phony tax ID numbers.
A sophisticated system of telephone voice-mail accounts and post office boxes were created to avoid detection. The charges involved racketeering, money laundering, wire fraud, making false statements, and bank fraud.
=========================================
FACTOID Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein flew on Epsteins private jet in 2002 to meet with the Sultan of Brunei.....one of the richest men in the world.
Hollywood hotshots recently protested the Sultan's ownership of the posh Beverly Hills Hotel and his embrace of Sharia law. The Sultan has announced he plans to execute homosexuals.
The National Enquirer reported flight logs reveal Epstein before he was arrested and jailed for soliciting teenage masseuses picked up Clinton at a Japanese naval airport. Also onboard the orgy jet were two alleged madames for Epsteins kiddie sex ring.
The mega-rich Sultan later donated between $1-5 million to the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas.
The Clinton foundations also accepted a $25,000 donation....... and Epstein wire-transferred Clinton's foundation $,3.5 MILLION from a Swiss bank account.
===================================================
Other than being morally reprehensible, the Clintons accepting mega donations from foreign governments is not a crime------possible criminal is what they do with the donations AFTER they get their greedy paws on them.
All criticism of PIAPS will be deemed sexist (straight out of the Obama “that’s racist” playbook) regardless of the merits.
"Did somebody say latino prostitutes."
That may very well be the case, orrrrr...
1. She's in alcohol rehab and is slow to "recover." or...
2. She's had "work" done (again) on her face and her handlers haven't been satisfied with the results, or...
3. She's undergoing testing for dementia. Did anyone else notice her "lost in the fog" moment during her little screed about corporations "not creating jobs?"
Oooooooo....scary.
Yep... very. So's the clown.
You mean HE will be sneakin’ into the “Oral Orifice.”
She has a flock of them.
Bill,
Benghazi,
Illegal funding,
Personality,
etc.
