Earth crumbling beneath the feet of Hillary's presidential campaign

As Hillary Clinton continues to collect honoraria well into six figures for speeches and “conversations with…” public appearances, her presidential prospects are evaporating. The “inevitable” nominee is experiencing something like a bad acid trip flashback, as memories resurface of a fresh faced, first term senator once again attracting the support -- or carefully calibrated neutrality -- of people the Clinton Dynasty expected fealty from. Beneath the haughty exterior, the former secretary of state may be suspecting subconsciously that people don’t like her very much.

Two new slights to the former first lady’s entitlement to the Oval Office have recently appeared.

Jonathan Allen of Bloomberg writes:

One of the leading candidates to manage Hillary Clinton’s expected campaign for U.S. president in 2016 has withdrawn from the running.

“I’ve been a part of some great campaigns and worked for terrific people, but want to explore other ways I can be of service,” Guy Cecil said in an e-mailed statement.

Cecil, the political director of Clinton’s losing 2008 presidential race, was the executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for the past two election cycles. Democrats gained two seats in the 2012 election but lost control of the Senate in last month’s midterms.

Here's the biggest issue with Hillary Clinton: she was be 69 years old just one month before Election Day 2016. As such, the Democrats want a much younger candidate in 2016.

You mean like Elizabeth Warren, who will only be 67? Or Jerry Brown, who will be 78? This is the Democrats' biggest problem. They've suddenly gotten really, really old.

What you are seeing happen to Clinton (and what will happen to Bush3) should be entertaining for most freepers. Big donors who believed the “inevitability” of Clinton’s 2016 presidential win are going to find they wasted a fortune bulking-up her bank account only to find that she can’t get enough votes to win. The only way she can win is if two big gifts are given her—the first is there are no opposition candidates in her own party that appeal to the wacko base. She won’t get that gift—Warren is one opponent she will have a very hard time beating for votes regardless of the money and power she controls. The second gift is an R party candidate that is so lame he or she can’t generate R enthusiasm—Clinton looks like she will get that gift early by the R party nominating someone who can get some big donations but can’t get large numbers of votes, like a Bush or a Romney. Heck, Dole is still around, the R party might as well run him on a ticket with McCain as his running mate. That would enable Clinton to win in a total voter turnout of a few million, nationwide.

However, if Clinton wins, even her gender and her control of the big propaganda machine of the NYT, the networks, the W Post, etc., won’t protect her from constant criticism of her inevitably horrible decision making.

3: The American Thinker has about 26 readers.

American Thinker was number 31 on the top conservative site list this year, ahead of RedState, PowerLine, Lucianne and FrontPage Magazine.

That suggests they have at least 100 readers.

I believe to this day McCain was a shill for the creature currently occupying the White House. However, the major factors are still degeneration of our people coupled with the great demographic shift brought about by the alien invasion.

The “earth is crumbling beneath HillaBeast’s feet” is incorrect.

That earth wasn’t crumbling, it was getting ready to run - even dirt rejects the HillaBeast.

I’ll be surprised if Clinton gets the nomination. The left wing that gave us Obama doesn’t want her and she has baggage that is going to make things very uncomfortable especially on the “war on women” front.

I actually like American Thinker and didn’t mean to demean them altho I probably sounded like I did.

My point is that you and I may find a neat article on some site somewhere with which we agree. But if there are very few readers, the article really has very low influence.

There have been lots and lots of alleged wrongdoings on the part of this admin of every type. However, when you read about it in AT-—you can be pretty sure that not only will there not be any investigation, but it is sure to go nowhere in the incredibly odd circumstance where such an investigation is launched.

I recall some of the voting irregs that were called out on A-T. Complete with videos that showed a D vote going for an R or vice versa. Crickets. Nothing.

More importantly, the catfight between Hillary! and Lieawatha will be epic, with Hillary! spilling every bit she has on both Warren AND Obama. . .

Roger that. The media will select their winner as early as possible. Otherwise, the catfight will give the Repubs ammunition and cover.

Whether she likes it or not, Hillary! is just the distraction.
Elizabeth Warren, who is “not running,” is the actual threat.

If both parties choose a pre-ordained hack, it won’t matter who wins.

It is amazing to me that two worthless [Arkansas] grifters like the Clintons have been able to build such a following. Of course, most of those followers are not very intelligent.

My exact sentiments. Hillary Clinton has not had one accomplishment in her life worth noting, unless one considers riding Billie Bl*w Job's coattails to a New York senate seat and getting the consolation prize as secretary of state, for losing the presidency to Obama, as accomplishments. She was fired from the Watergate investigation for outright lying.

She has the radical ideology of Obama in a pantsuit and campaigns as effectively as McCain. And she'll be just months shy of 70 by the time she takes office, if she were to win. You know she told Chelsea to have that baby before her campaign starts so she could use it for a campaign prop when needed. Her husband would just be around for the perks and groupies.

REALLY people? Is that where this country is heading? We need to put it in reverse and turn the car around and go in the opposite direction.

Whatever. Romney was right about at least the 47% vote he wouldn’t get.
Some thing. Rats could run a cardboard cutout for president and people would vote for the cardboard. They’ve done a number on Americans minds and lives. Too many people are zombified.
