James Carville: The pressure on Hillary Clinton for a 2016 run will be “unimaginable”
Hotair ^ | 03/27/2013 | Erika Johnsen

No kidding. How the tables have turned: Team GOP has a whole roster of savvy, fresh-faced up-and-comers, while the Democrats’ bench is looking decidedly less dynamic and their best bets lying in generation old school. That’s not to say another super-candidate couldn’t come out of the woodwork somewhere between now and the next campaign cycle, but it looks like the top tier currently consists of Clinton and Joe Biden — and if I were a Democrat, I would be leaning heavily on Hillary. The last election made me wary of dismissing or underestimating anyone, but when I try to imagine Joe Biden fronting a presidential campaign… my only conscious thought is that of a vague, indefinable buzzing inside my ears.

I think it’ll be unimaginable. I mean, if — I just go around the country and if there’s a Democrat that does not want her to run, I have not met them. Now she is her own person and seems perfectly willing to resist that kind of pressure, but in terms of encouragement, I don’t think there’s ever been anybody that is a prohibitive front-runner for a party’s nomination as former Secretary of State Clinton is right now. You can feel it out there wherever I go and whenever people talk to me, it’s the same thing.

She may be their "gathering big crowds" source but I think she's pretty sick (IMHO).

I think Bubba just wants to be an ambassador like in Tahiti where girls still go neked.

Of course we would all vote for her. She sure did a great job as SOS. Oh, except the Middle East is in chaos now, the North Koreans are pointing nukes at us, Russia won’t even return her calls and Iran just laughs at us. I guess that makes her unbeatable. Yes /s

I agree with Newt that a 2016 GOP candidate trying to to directly criticize her will suffer the same fate a Lazio did in NYS.

That is why it is critical FOR OTHERS to do that long before 2016.

Start with that ‘what does it matter?’ vid of her screaming.

Heard that daugther is looking to adopt a child from Rush yesterday, Hilary may very well NOT run because she may want to be simply a grandmother.

The liberals owe her but aren’t about to let her win. They’ll let her run, praise her to the nines, and then stab her in the back like they did with Zero.

Old liberals never retire. They stay till they die and stink-up the joint when decay sets in.

And watch Team GOP bypass all the fresh faces and go with a Jeb Bush or a Rick Perry.

And that is exactly why Bill Clinton who passed a law in 1996 making gay marriage illegal recent recanted on the law saying how he now considers the law unconstitutional and why Hillary herself made the announcement last week that she supports gay marriage. The pressure on her is even more that your realize when you consider that in January,1998 she announced on 60 Minutes that she was the de-facto Democratic nominee. That there was no on else but her and we know how that turned out.

What is going to prevent her from running hard and then some unheard of nobody comes out of nowhere and runs away with the nomination? that's more than pressure. That's Hillary in a padded cell.

Actually I think it will be the opposite. She’ll decline to run, all the while making loads of public appearances, “looking good” (for her), etc. The DNC will have a plan... They’ll run someone who cannot win, who will do the heavy campaigning. Hillary cannot campaign because (1) she’s getting old and (2) she really cannot travel so much with her blood clots history. Then at the last minute before the convention, some terrible fate will befall the seemingly designated candidate, and Hillary will rush in at the convention, grabbing the nomination, without having done any campaigning. Just my speculation.....

Once again, the ugly head of “Divine Right of Ascension” attempts to appear.
