OK FReepers; I’ve got some questions to which I sincerely need an answer:
#1. Would a Primary Challenger help Hillary’s Presidential bid by forcing her to campaign and sharpen her people skills?
#2. Would it not be best for our team if she just laid low and marched quietly to her coronation? That would mean a whole year lost of not being out there seeing people and talking them into voting for her; while our guys are getting a lot of media and crowd attention.
#3. Do we dare root for her challenger to defeat her like we did in ‘08? I bet Rush regrets urging people to cross over and vote for Obama in the “Chaos” movement to deny Hillary the nomination. Hell, he almost makes her look like Margaret Thatcher.
I dunno; just some questions I have. Help me out here.
1. We'd find out, wouldn't we? If others run, it's because in spite of her being the prohibitive favorite, they perceive her as being vulnerable. My bet is that they're right - she is vulnerable. I don't think it would take a huge shove to push her off the cliff.
2. The counter to that is that the media would like to create a sense of inevitability to Sh!itlery, and to the degree that they succeed, that's bad. On the other hand, a primary fight pierces that sense of inevitability, and it then can become a real race. And I think our guys are better, and will win on merit.
3. Always a possibility. But last time, the Kenyan anti-Christ was able to set up McCain as the surrogate for President Bush, who was none too like. This time, the Dem will have the mirror problem of having to answer for the Kenyan. I think the economy will continue to limp along, and people will be ready for a change. And the Kenyan ain't it.
So, in summary, you never know how it will go. We could wind up with President O’Malley. Or worse. But I think it's more likely that if someone gives Sh!itlery a hard run for the money, we'll inaugurate President Walker or Cruz on Jan 20, 2017.
Just my guess.

I seem to remember people here rooting for HER against Obama and that “Chaos” thing being to help HER after he became more likely to win.
She is just as bad if not worse (smarter, more dangerous) than Obama.
In any case, O’Malley isn’t a threat to her. Watch for a Hispanic “Brown Obama”, that’s the only thing that I think could derail her nomination this time.
I think Rush was actually getting people to cross over to vote for Hillary over Obama. Obama had to create a large network in response to that in order to defeat her, then he used that network to crush the competition in the general election. Rush's political sabotage backfired on him big time.
