Doug Schoen: Hillary 'Front-Runner on Both Sides' for 2016
NewsMax ^ | September 23, 2013 | Jim Meyers and Kathleen Walter

Political analyst and Democratic pollster Doug Schoen tells Newsmax that Hillary Clinton is "the front-runner on both sides" if she decides to run for president in 2016.

He also opines that Republicans are making a "political mistake" in backing a bill to defund Obamacare.

Schoen is the author of the book "Hopelessly Divided: The New Crisis in American Politics and What It Means for 2012 and Beyond."

Story continues below video.

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York on Monday, Schoen assesses a potential White House run by Clinton.

"First, there is legitimate concern and indecision," he says. "It's a big decision. She served a long time as secretary of state, four years in the Senate before that. So she has to decide if she wants to go through the rigors of the campaign."

"But that being said, she's the front-runner on both sides if in fact she decides to go do it."

"I don't know if it's all but certain, but I do see her running. She'll be elected, and she's on the odds-on favorite as we talk today."

As to who from the GOP could challenge her, Schoen says: "There are lots of Republicans but I haven't seen a front-runner emerge, and the Republican strategy has been less than ideal."(continued)

Just one question: What has she ever accomplished? Buehler? Buehler?

Well, she is a Clinton. After all, America is drifting towards a dynasty form of government. Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons, etc. What more is necessary?

Oh, and I suppose you'll be whining when Michelle Obama and Chelsea Clinton run in 2024. (Ha!)

With the condition of the republican party, the demoRATs could run pigeon droppings and win.

Hillary now looks like an old nag. It will be like us running John McCain.

I’m thinking of changing my registration just so I can vote for her, and throw a monkey wrench in the whole thing.

Since when are the democRATS so concerned about republican defeats?

I hope the republicans are not so dumb as to fall for that gambit.

We don’t fall for that crap. The left does. You can tell them what their reality and future is just because the MSM told them so.

I didn’t know that. I thought it was just in primaries.

(I’m talking “Primary.” I’d never vote for that in a General)

Sorry, I misunderstood. It is just in Primary (Presidential. Different rules in AZ for the regular Primaries). I’d never vote for that old bag in a General.

Maybe what he meant by both sides was that she was the front runner for gays and lesbians because she is a switch hitter.

I understand.

I can’t see a Republican winning in 2016. The country has too many fools now. We’re outnumbered.
