The New, Scary Question Facing Democrats: If Not Hillary Clinton, Then Who?
National Journal ^ | March 4, 2015 | Emma Roller

Posted on 03/05/2015 9:42:21 AM PST by Zakeet

In 2013, The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza posed a question: "If not Hillary Clinton in 2016, then who?"

That's a question that Democrats may have to begrudgingly ask themselves in the coming weeks, as a New York Times story about Clinton's email use during her time as secretary of state—compounded with earlier reporting on the Clinton Foundation—roil Clintonland.

[Snip]

But Democrats with wandering eyes may find themselves in a very tough spot: The window for other Democrats to jump into the race is quickly closing.

If democrats ran a sleazy street person the New York Times, AP, CNN, Matthews etc. would jump in and praise the glories of sleazy street people.

If Hillary’s the only one - they’ll back her. Difficult for the press to vet her... where ever she lives, it’s not an easy place to find - like Wasilla Alaska.

Once you understand that Hillary is finished, you will observe that there are lots of potential candidates.

O'Malley, Sanders, Castro #1, Castro #2, Lieawatha, Brown, Biden, Manbearpig, Little Dick - there are tons of commie wannabes who (unfortunately) have track records of fooling some of the people all of the time.

They won't have any trouble nominating a Presidential and VP candidate - in fact, Hillary's troubles will make it easier.

Dems will lose with a full-term governor, unless the Pubs foolishly do likewise.

Mooch? They’ll never run Chewy. No way. Every time she opens that toothy maw of hers I swear I hear a wookie roar.

Democrats, are determined to have that first female president, even if she is unqualified for the job.

They might get a surprise if, in the next year and a half, the GOP is deadlocked and Governor Susana Martinez of NM is the consensus, GOP nominee.

I nominate Marie Harf, because.. like... she’s so... ya know... smart and stuff.

No seriously. We no longer vote people to be POTUS based on any actual ability, or relevant skills. She can fog a mirror, and probably even read the teleprompter. So, what more is really needed to be leader of the free world anyway?!

Richardson of New Mexico? Kerry again? Maybe the screamer Dean? How about Harry Reid or nancy Polesie? Maybe a Movie Star like DiCaprio or a radio/TV person like Alan Crooms or Rev. Jackson or or or Al Sharpton? Got to be more than the Fake Indian.

World events will dictate who will be president—Al Baghdadi will have more to do with who will be president than any American Voter rich or poor. War is coming—listen! You can hear the hoofbeats of the four horsemen now, riding hell bent for leather out of the Middle East. Before 2016 we may well have a new president.

I'm as good as the current guy

Better, in that I'd guess you're an American Citizen. Can you golf, too?

"Can you golf, too?"

From my understanding, the current occupant of the White House cannot golf so why is this a requirement? Keep in mind, just because you show up on the course and hold a club does not mean you can golf.

I can see Hillary’s figurative luxury yacht’s engine already catching fire, with the smoke racing through the ship with flames licking up the walls; there’s not just blood dripping from her hands on Benghazi, it’s literally flowing from them as she is rapidly being cornered by empirical evidence.

Her private, personal secured server at her home in which she has purposed to hide even more evidence, is quickly being chipped away at. Now she’s telling them “take and look at the emails/transmissions, I’ve nothing to hide”.
So, where is she transmitting all the data that she doesn’t want anyone to see? Is it China, where her hubby Bill dealt heavily in all sorts of illegal activities with?

I suppose we’ll know when she’s reached the end of her rope when she finally flees the country and goes to China...or wherever. She’s got to maintain that luxury living, but her power? It’s been dwindling from every word coming out of her mouth (and in her book).

In the Bible it speaks of a woman of ill-repute who chomps ravenously into a piece of meat, wipes her mouth with the back of her hand and proclaims she’s done nothing wrong.
