There’s one candidate who would make a whole lot of sense—and he’s got history and plenty of experience in his favor.
Do you share with me a deep sense that we haven’t spent nearly enough time covering the 2016 presidential race?
Oh, sure, Nexis tells is that there have been 520 stories written between January and March, compared with 176 stories at this time four years ago.
OK, the National Journal looked at TV coverage, and found that there were 69 mentions between January and March on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, NPR, and the PBS News Hour, compared with 31 in 2008 and just four in 2000.
And yes, the “Big Four” newspapers—The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today—have doubled their coverage compared with four years ago. But really: Is that the best our media can do, with barely 900 days remaining in what the Times and others have described as the “waning days” of Obama’s second term?

Clinton/Wiener. It would help poor, humiliated Huma in her quest to regain her status as well as keep her close. It would be insurance, too, and Hillary would look like a saint by comparison.
Except for that succession thing, I’d love to see Algore become her bitch
The logical running mate for Hillary is a Hispanic male. One who is a citizen but whose parents were illegal immigrants would be perfect to create an historic event. No Republican can beat this combination and it will set up the Democrats for 8 more years after the Hillary administration.
Hitlery speaking at the Democrat convention when Willie and Algore got the nomination. Yeah, we really want these two back in the Spite House.
