Clinton's presidential campaign: world's worst-kept secret ends Sunday - aboard flight to Iowa
Guardian ^ | April 12, 2015 | Sabrina Siddiqui in Washington and Lauren Gambino in New York

Posted on 04/12/2015 2:09:50 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Hillary Clinton is prepared to formally declare her intention to run for president on Sunday, ending years of speculation over her ambitions to return to the White House as the first female president of the United States.

The political world’s worst-kept secret will officially escape out into the wild shortly before noon Eastern time with the launch of Clinton’s campaign website. As the Guardian first reported early Friday, the former secretary of state is scheduled to announce her second presidential candidacy on Twitter – alongside simultaneous video and email messages – while aboard a plane from New York to the critical primary state of Iowa.

In the air, according to a source familiar with the campaign, Clinton will make calls to elected officials in Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Throughout Sunday, she is scheduled to reach out to advisers in other campaign battlegrounds – in New Hampshire, where she is expected to visit later in the week, as well as South Carolina and Nevada – and to press, members of Congress, governors, labor leaders and so-called “superdelegates”, while setting up a “listening tour” of Iowa.....

....No matter the seismic, dynastic Clinton advantage, nearly two-thirds of Democrats still think she would be well-served to have a more serious challenger from within her party.

With 577 days remaining before Election Day, much remains unclear about the candidacy of an immediate liberal frontrunner. But after seven years of speculation, the “will-she-or-won’t-she” question won’t be about running for the White House for much longer – it becomes about whether she can re-occupy it.

We should have a contest here to come up with the best FR rendition of her 140 character ‘tweet’ to run today.

My comment to her would be “Gee, Hillary, don’t you think opening yourself up to a full 140 character count might be giving too much about yourself/intentions away?”

It’ll probably start a downward trend after the second primary debate (Sept - New Hampshire). At that point, there’s not much magic left that the Hillary camp can use to puff the situation to look positive. If she fails to take Iowa, I don’t see how the campaign staff can stay afloat.

Evil incarnate. It oozes from every pore of that ravaged, twisted husk.

Call Her Madame Ka-Ching "The last time she ran for president, her posters shouted “Hillary!” This was an obvious tribute to the belief that she was so well known and we’d be so excited she was available that a shout out was called for. Now, we’re informed she’s planning a tasteful, quiet rollout via video where no questions can or will be asked. An aide announced this week that calling Hillary “Hillary” is now “sexist.” Following that admonition and in light of what we know of her consummate corruption and opacity I think we should call her Madame Ka-Ching.

A.) The Clintons, an ongoing criminal enterprise

This week, Ace of Spades and The Hill and International Business Times, which he cites, have the latest on Madame Ka-Ching:......

.......The press has proven time and again to be an arm of the Democrats and an enemy to every Republican candidate. Do not try to placate them. Ignore their efforts to steer you to their desired responses. Treat them as if they are working for Madame Ka-Ching, because they certainly are."

-----------

1987 YouTube Video: Hillary - Little Rock speech about battered women and children - men don't take it seriously - She slides in and out of southern accent.

-----------

This is really rich considering her husband's behavior toward women.

January 1989:".......These allegations are false and I need to go back to work for the American people: YouTube :25

August 1989 - after 7 months of silence: "......While my answers were legally accurate I did have a relationship with....My public comments left a false impression YouTube 4:13

Announce while on a plane... a very controlled setting where only the invited ( with paid tickets) can attend.

Two pictures worth a thousand five-hundred words.

The Hag is haggardly and her flesh is hanging from her face like a cheap suit.

I expect whole pieces to begin falling off before election day. Two years is a long time to a 68 yr old.

Unfortunately, all that money Hillary could tap into can't hide the following:

1. Her penchant for attracting scandal like bees to honey.
2. Does not take criticism well.
3. Has a known bad temper. And that could come out in public in a really ugly way.
4. The taint of her failed 2008 Presidential campaign.
5. Has made many enemies in the Democratic Party.
6. Her age--she'll turn 69 less than month before Election Day 2016--could become an issue.

Indeed, all these issues have Democratic donors quietly looking for alternatives.

I have noticed that a few rabid liberals in my neighborhood have already scraped off the “ready for hillary” stickers from the back of their Subaru’s. The hag is going nowhere, they can’t even polish it up for a presidential announcement in front of a staged audience.

Hillary is not the answer to any of our problems. She just feels like we owe her the job for covering up for Bill’s sins.

Hillary is at the age where at times the female develops the indications of dementia.
