Democrats See No Choice But Hillary Clinton in 2016 [Says NY Times!]
NY Times ^ | March 11, 2015 | NICHOLAS CONFESSORE, JONATHAN MARTIN and MAGGIE HABERMAN

Democrats See No Choice But Hillary Clinton in 2016 By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE, JONATHAN MARTIN and MAGGIE HABERMAN MARCH 11, 2015 They shrug off questions about Hillary Rodham Clinton’s email habits. They roll with the attacks on her family’s foundation, the big checks from foreign governments, the torpid response of her not-yet-campaign. They have little choice: As Mrs. Clinton prepares to begin her second presidential campaign amid a froth of criticism and outrage, Democrats are not just Ready for Hillary — as supporters named one pro-Clinton “super PAC” — they are desperate for her. Congressional Democrats are counting on a strong Clinton campaign to help lift them back into the majority. Party leaders at all levels want her fund-raising help and demographic appeal. And from the top of the party to its grass roots, Mrs. Clinton’s pseudo-incumbency is papering over significant disadvantages: a weak bench, a long-term House minority and a white middle class defecting to the Republican Party faster than the Democrats’ hoped-for demographic future is expected to arrive. Mrs. Clinton, many Democrats say, is simply too big to fail.

Good. Guaranteed win for our side just so long as they don't nominate Jeb Bush.

If they manage to get Jeb Bush on the ballot, *I* am going to vote for Hillary. Massive and catastrophic defeat is the only hope of making them learn.

“Democrats See No Choice But Hillary Clinton in 2016”

Interesting. Wondering why the Democrats, THEIR media, and THEIR bloggers are trying so hard to kill her chances at POTUS with their constant drumming of the email caper.

Curious.

The "Result" couldn't be worse than having another Bush as President.

The big monied Rockefeller Republican establishment wants to play chicken with us, and I'm ready to just crash into them. They need to understand that they aren't going to get their Crony Capitalism candidate. We will either get a Constitutional conservative, or we will get a full blown Communist.

If the nation is going to be wrecked, we might as well get it over with.

I hope the democrats do try to stick with Hilary. If they do, and we get into campaign season, I can see them making the quote the Germans did about the Austro-Hungarian allies they were stuck with in World War 1:

“We are fettered to a corpse.”

Of course, I’ve gone on record here many times as saying their candidate will be Lizzy Warren, and I still think that.

“If they manage to get Jeb Bush on the ballot, *I* am going to vote for Hillary. Massive and catastrophic defeat is the only hope of making them learn.”

Only one *little* problem with your approach: The Rinos will not see that as a defeat, but a win. They would also see a Jeb Bush victory as a win. If it comes down to Jeb and Hillery, they see it as a Win-Win.

I think ServerGate is 0bama taking out Hillary.

Why?

Because 0bama wants to destroy America, and Hillary doesn’t want that. Hillary wants power. But she won’t use it like 0bama wants. So he has no problem removing her. That helps in the general destruction he wants.

Again, if we are going off the rails, might as well open the throttle up to full. Maybe it will scare people enough to put a stop to it.

Au contraire, there's always my man Dennis Kucinich. When he and I are talking about illegal aliens, buddy, we mean illegal aliens.

Elizabeth Warren has her issues, but she's LOT of things Hillary Clinton is not. In fact, if George Soros and Tom Steyer say Hillary is not the candidate, Hillary's political career will be over in no time flat.
