Hillary Rodham Clinton entered the presidential race Sunday to a stunning cold shoulder from Mayor Bill de Blasio and few signs of genuine enthusiasm from other top New York Democrats, who want to see her espouse a far more liberal agenda....
And the lack of passion for Clinton was also seen on the local level Saturday at the Ready For Hillary gathering in Manhattan, where a mere 200 people and virtually no “A-list” Democratic officials attended a final fundraiser before Clinton’s announcement....
A prominent union insider told The Post, “Hillary isn’t close to sealing the deal with labor. Many union leaders are afraid that without a primary, Hillary won’t have to address labor’s concerns before she is nominated....
Some of the lack of energy for Clinton comes from the fear that there will be more damaging disclosures in coming months related to the email scandal involving the then-secretary of state’s use of a private email address and the now-erased email server for official business.
“We all know there is another shoe to drop and it’s only going to get worse,’’ said a second well-known Democratic consultant. “Wiping her email server when there were outstanding [congressional] subpoenas raises very serious questions about obstruction of justice.”....

Except, not everyone else saw it the way she did, and so now they're in no hurry to back her. Obama, de Blasio, everyone's definitely un-enthusiastic ... and Hillary's already getting ticked off. If she can't get New York, a Dem stronghold, what can she get?
Then wait till she finds out blacks won't be showing up for a rich honky.
” top New York Democrats, who want to see her espouse a far more liberal agenda.... “
LOL....I guess being steeped in Alinsky, and Cloward-Piven, and wearing her Mao pantsuit isn’t quite liberal enough.
If the media wants this lying witch to be president, she will be president,
The hell with Lenin. They want Pol Pot.
I don’t know about that.
Thought I’d post some Democrat responses I’ve read today about her running, because all the bad news about her means nada to the Democrats:
“I just officially heard this morning... I am thrilled and she has my vote. I believe with Bill as her private advisor, the economy will get even better than what Obama has done for it so far. GW left quite a mess to clean up.”
“I also heard about it. She has got my vote.
Looking at the Republican line up, they have a gaggle of dimwits and buffoons who would bring total collapse to this country if any of them took the White House....”
“I voted for Bill Clinton back in the day because I took a look at his wife and liked the cut of her jib. I thought Bill in the White House back then would give us Hillary as our first woman president down the line. And you know what? I don’t give a rat’s ass about her emails!”
“Hahaha..I don’t give a rat’s ass either. Just as I never considered Bill’s escapades our problem either. To think he was the first and only President to play around is just ridiculous. I also read this morning of the possibility of Michelle Obama running beside her for VP!! Now, wouldn’t that blow a lot of minds. LOL”
“I did not actually hear her announcing. I did hear it was going to happen, and figured I could catch up with the momentous news later. (Even on Amy Goodman, this morning.) Was with my family, traipsing around in the last gasp of wedding prep.”
“When Hillary was First Lady she spoke at a conference in China on women’s rights world wide. She was very powerful in that speech.
I wrote to her as a single parent raising two little girls and praised her for her exemplary words”
“One of the important things that we have to remember is that we have 4 Supreme Court Justices who will potentially be retiring during the next Presidential term.”
“Clinton and Obama in 2016. That would be fantastic.”
“You mean Obama running for v.p.? Can we do that?”
“Michelle Obama for VP. She is brilliant.”
“Oh, I see. Well, Michelle will have to come forward as some kind of thinker. Mostly she’s known for planting vegetables in the White House garden, then cleaning up good to wear a shimmering Oscar de la Renta that night. Forgive me if I haven’t been paying attention.”
“She graduated cum laude from Princeton and graduated from Harvard Law School. She is Brilliant.”
“Hill has been running (without saying so) for years. It’s her’s to lose. Let’s all pray the republicans don’t find some smarmily charming scoundrel to steal it. Ruth Bader Ginsberg has been waiting for her in order to retire (or die).”
“I would guess that Michelle is interested in having a personal/private life now, and B.O. would not dare.”
“Anyway, I look forward to Obama’s memoirs, if he’d dare write with the candor of his first book. (Questionable whether he could...)”
“It is amazing the people who hate the President, spewing one lie or the other repeating the words verbatim of the brainless Republican talking heads. It’s all about the shade of his skin.”
“I have a British 1st cousin who hates the President and is still spewing forth BS about his birth certificate and how Obama has brought brought down America and the world. He hates Palestinians and says that the President is Muslim. But then again he professes to be a devout Christian.”
“Let’s roll up our socks and prepare for a tough fight!”
“Consider em rolled....”
“So, kneehighs are gonna take back the country?”
“If every one of your friends voted for Hillary, she’d win - I’m in.”
“Pull up our socks. Roll up our sleeves.”
“What was the percentage of those who voted in the mid term? What was it 38% of registered voters? That is why our congress is in the shape that it is in. The Republicans didn’t win anything. It was handed to them gift wrapped.”
“Never mind the sans-culottes: we’ll do it in our idiosyncratically unrolled socks. . .”
“Thanks you for “sans culottes”!”
“But, but, but—pulling up socks, rolling up sleeves, and especially mounting the barricades is best left to the young’uns. I suspect I am in the “wearing the bottoms of my trousers rolled” time of life.”
Don’t kid yourselves guys. While we dither over this one and that one, they are going to vote en masse for her.
The hard core communists don’t trust her or her husband, who are merely socialist degenerates and crooks.
True, but the media does the bidding of whatever their Democratic masters want, so if the word goes out to take out Hillary and promote Elizabeth Warren they’ll do that. My money is on them taking out Hillary and promoting Fauxahontas by summer at the latest.
No she won’t !
Please stop believing that! This is all just a sick repeat of ‘07 and ‘08 !
IMHO the de Blasio snub is part of the plot to make Hillary look like a non-communist.
I think she has about 40% as a given even if she is in prison!
But, how did you write this long post about this horrible person without getting sick?! Or, did you?
I took a look at his wife and liked the cut of her jib
WTH...lefties are nutters!
The left wishes they could dig up Mao and have him run for President
Well, I didn’t write it, I copied it, but I deleted all the names so I wouldn’t get in trouble from someone out there.
I’m getting over it now...thank you;)
Frightening, isn’t it?
She’s the only person in the race ... If sicko liberal elites aren’t backing her they’ve got a plan... maybe to push for some monster to run...
Please. The US has 350 million people.
Now you’re saying, 16 months ahead of time, 29 hard-core Democratic kooks on the Internet have already decided the election??
This race still has a lot of turns ahead.
“She graduated cum laude from Princeton and graduated from Harvard Law School. She is Brilliant.” 
Yep. They’re trying to paint her as right leaning. She isn’t an “extremist” like Obama. /s
I’m sure these are only the highlights, but, explain to me, again, why all Progressives shouldn’t be gassed as a preventive measure, for subhuman stupidity, being congenitally evil, or to protect world humanity?
Odd, considering that she is their home town girl.
