Carl Hiaasen: Jeb could ruin Hillary’s political run (More Baloney than a Boca Raton Delicatessen)
The Miami Herald ^ | January 17, 2015 | Carl Hiaasen

If you’re Hillary Clinton, you pinched yourself last week to awake from a strange and wondrous dream. Except it wasn’t a dream.

Mitt Romney really has been calling up rich conservative donors to tell them he wants to run for president — again.

If you’re Hillary Clinton, you broke into a wide grin that stayed on your face all day, because the news seemed too good to be true. Mitt Romney is seriously going to try one more time?

Thank you, God, is what Hillary was thinking.

Not because Mitt Romney is likely to become the Republican nominee in 2016, but rather because he’ll be competing for the same mainstream primary voters and the same big money that Jeb Bush is chasing.

And anybody who can get in Jeb’s way makes life easier for Hillary.

Jeb is definitely not whom she wants to face in the election. Among potential GOP candidates he’s currently the only one who could beat her in Florida — and it’s practically impossible to win the White House without winning Florida....

Has anyone here seen Hillary Clinton recently? Does she really look like she's up for a grueling presidential campaign? And don't the Democrats also start their campaigns in Iowa, Carl?

The media wants us to believe Jeb could beat Hillary. They know he won’t. The media just wants Jeb to win the nomination to assure a Hillary win.

I will not be voting for Jeb Bush. Not a dime’s difference between Hillary and Jeb.

Hiaasen has the unique gift of being able to make dogvomit a compelling read. Very dangerous.

She probably won’t even be the nominee - she’s well known, she’s not popular.

Carl....”A graduate of the University of Florida, at age 23 he joined The Miami Herald as a general assignment reporter and went on to work for the paper’s weekly magazine and later its prize-winning investigations team. Since 1985 Hiaasen has been writing a regular column, which at one time or another has pissed off just about everybody in South Florida, including his own bosses. “

Just another liberal jerk writing blather

“Jeb is definitely not whom she wants to face in the election.”

No. Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and Susana Martinez is not whom Hillary wants to face in the election.

A Walker/Martinez ticket will be the death of the Democrat party.

Very liberal. Very entertaining. Every one of his books has been hilarious. Somewhat like a sub-tropical Elmore Leonard with less violence and more humor in his work.

I like how always writes near-relationships with exotic, interesting, younger ladies into his otherwise riveting but irreverent stories. It's kind of inspiring.

Media knows Jeb is not electable. That’s why they tell us he is. I remember them saying the same thing in the 1996 primaries about Bob Dole. As soon as he got the nomination, the meme became; “Clinton to win in a walk.”

Romney is turning into Todd Aiken all over again. A guy who is only looking at his own stupid selfish narcassistic ambitions and willing to take down the Republican chances in 2016 to do it.

If Romney gets in the debates he will be an attack dog on all the conservative nominees.

No one wants him to run. His liberal friends like Bill Bennett, Peggy Noonan and Vin Webber are all against it. I just hope they can talk some sense into him.

Also James Carville was really happy and talking up Romney on “This Week” He wants Romney to get in because he knows this is great for Hillary. This is the best thing that happened to them in the past year. She would love to run against Romney in the general. She would beat him worse than Obama.

What would really scare the crap out of Hillary would be if Gov. Susana Martinez (Conservative, female, Hispanic) jumps into the race.
