Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged that her 2016 campaign would be better than her 2008 campaign. And it has been.
She has hired the best and brightest of Democratic staffers. She has purposely downplayed her celebrity and has tried to personally connect with voters in Iowa and New Hampshire. She has focused on telling her personal story rather than trying to constantly answer the "is she tough enough to be commander in chief" question.
And yet, here we are. Clinton is in the midst of a full-scale Democratic freakout due to her faltering poll numbers and ongoing questions about how she has handled her private e-mail server. Joe Biden is considering running. Al Gore's name -- yes, Al Gore -- was even floated!
What gives? Increasingly, Democrats -- privately, of course -- have begun to wonder whether the problem is not the campaign but the candidate.
"She has always been awkward and uninspiring on the stump," said one senior Democratic consultant granted anonymity to candidly assess Clinton's candidacy. "Hillary has Bills baggage and now her own as secretary of state -- without Bills personality, eloquence or warmth."
That same consultant added that he expected Clinton to easily win the Democratic nomination despite her weaknesses. "None of her primary opponents this time are Obama," the consultant said. "Each lacks the skills, message and charisma to derail this train unless she implodes."

Where are the physical hard drives that were on the server that was located at her home in NY? When she shipped the server to a firm in NJ to be scrubbed, did it contain those drives OR did it contain replacement drives. So are the hard drives that the FBI is looking at from the firm in NJ,the ones she used? Or is this a ruse to get the FBI to say “well, we went to the place where the server was sent to and we were unable to recover data.” In reading this, timeline it seems that the administration of the email domain was handed over to Platte River... Not gonna find much there.. Need to find those original drives and not the thumb drives from the lawyer that only contained selective backup. In other words what were the serial numbers on the HDs in the original server? Are they still the ones in the server that was scrubbed that is in NJ?
People just don't like her.
Are they just figuring this out?
I too think John Kerry will be drug in, before Joe Biden gets a nod.
Kerry has presided over all things wonderful in foreign policy and international negotiations, as far as Democrats are concerned, and according to the Democrat playbook. Democrats should love Kerry and should also see his tenure as SoS as substantial and far superior to Hillary’s global tours of all the buffets on all continents, prattling about “women and girls”.
PS: I just ran across your martini receipes last night, that were attributed to you from years ago. Maybe from one of the election nights. :)

Just remember, only one. They are potent.
No, I don't think it will be Lurch. But who else?
The DNC will have a hard time talking the uber-socialists down off the ledge, if its not Sanders, and we know they won't allow it to be Sanders. So who?
My vote is Sacagawarren. She is the socialist that the Sanders supporters really wanted to begin with, but she doesn't actually proclaim that she is a big-S Socialist, so she is palatable to the masses.
——But no mention of compromised national security——
Again I must jump in to say that to Hillary, there were no secrets. Secrets are 20th century war stuff. Security doesn’t belong in the 21st century. She doesn’t believe in secrets.
There were people on Bubba’s staff that couldn’t be get clearances and were working three years after starting.
To be liberal is to be free from such baggage

Agree on Warren as the most likely substitute for the Beast! The only real energy for Clinton’s supporters is the potentially historic achievement of electing the first woman President. Warren will keep the identity politics iron in the fire and she can also better articulate Leftist bromides than either Hildy or Bernie.
But, Bamster and the DIMS have to get the Beast to step down soon to give Fauxcohontas enough time to compete...no easy task given the Beast’s megalomaniacal pursuit of the presidency. She may have to be indicted to yank her off the stage.
LOL....
Hillary fairs quite poorly when matched against another Marxist.
Yes, potent. My husband laughed when I read the part “drink right down”. I made one last night, and you know, I think the best part is in the chilling! They become tolerable and exciting when so very chilled!
We got to remembering the 70’s when the “two martini lunch” was bandied about as thought to be the norm. Of course the Rat Pack in Las Vegas and the movies probably gave that lunch habit its fame.
Anyway, it was fun and they are potent, alright.
Thx, much.
