Hillary will be the Dem nominee and she will be elected in a landslide as the Dems mark up another “historic” election—the first black President followed by the first woman President.

...oh, I don’t know...remember that presidential election is electoral vote driven...in our current national setup, I think it impossible that the repub EV total could be less than 191 (Romney’s 206 less N.Carolina’s 15, which Gingrich or Palin would’ve lost); on the other hand, many blue states were hotly contested, including Fla (29 EV) and Ohio (18, I think), virginia (13) as well...and there are others...
...granted, most of those state are trending blue, which is a bad sign, for if they stay blue, repubs are finished...the very topic O’reilly and Krauthammer were going at each other about last night...but, with the right candidate, Her Holy Highness might not like the way things are going on election night...

...however, if forced to bet the house, I think you might be right...

Maybe, “but at this point, what difference does it make?”

Hillary’s mother never had any strokes. Unlike Hillary and her father.

The one thing I can’t ignore is the lack of spine the republicans have. They let the liberals set the tone when they should be screaming FRAUD CONSTANTLY. They think acting humble and playing victim is going to get them votes.

Boehner cries, McCain has Graham on a leash while Reid runs roughshod over them all. Old, blind farts who need to be put out to pasture....pronto!.

Heard that daugther is looking to adopt a child from Rush yesterday,

...I was wondering if this phrase were word by word glossed into (somewhat workable)Latin whether the vaunted case system would prevent the grammatial hiccup...

...audivi quod filia quaerit adoptare parvulum a Rusho heri...

...eh, not really...

Barring health problems, Hillary will be the Dem nominee

Hillary developed her health problems to successfully get out of any accountability for Benghazi. They'll disappear and be forgotten by 2016.

She is finished, and if it is true her daugther is looking to adopt, this will pretty much put a kabash to 2016.

I think you are plainly incorrect. Hillary was so devoid of personality and had such high negatives that she lost to Barry. Now her negatives are even higher, her stint as SoS has damaged her reputation. I don't think she can even win the nomination.

Disagree. The changing demographics will turn more states purple and then blue. VA is going blue in a hurry. In Fairfax County, the largest in the state, we now have an electorate that is comprised of 30% foreign born. Similar demographic changes are happening in NC and AZ. FL will eventually be blue. NV, CO, and NM have passed the threshold from purple to blue.

Any Dem starts a race with CA, NY, NJ, OR, WA, MD, MA, NJ, IL, RI, DE, MA, CT, NV, NM, CO, MN, MI, and some others. Once TX goes, and it will go purple and then blue, then it is all over.

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.

We were told the same thing about criticizing Bammy, how did that work out?

RE :”We were told the same thing about criticizing Bammy, how did that work out? “

You mean like when McConnell boasted on TV that his #1 job was to get O fired?

Then the Trump ‘off the cliff’ sucker tour.

Didnt that one congressman scream out liar?

Then Rush said he wanted him to fail.

Seems like these did nothing but rally more Dems to get off the sofa and vote.

After the first debate last October didnt Romney advisor John Sununu get on TV and call Obama “ babbling,” “lazy,” and “disengaged,” ?

That didnt seem to bring on the landslide for Romney some thought it would.

I'm thinking John Kerry might decide to make another run for the White House in 2016.

I am thinking John must have had a head transplant instead of decorative surgery. I saw him somewhere this week and he looked absolutely plastic. Can't find anything on Google pics that show it, someone have a before and after?

First of all Romney did not engage in this and counted on surrogates to do it and leave him looking innocent. No one ever attempted to define the Marxist radical that occupies the White House and We The People are the losers.

You really should stop pretending that you are sick of libs.

As long as Hillary remains breathing, she could get elected. There is no Rep candidate who can defeat her.

True enough, but demography is destiny. We bring in 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year. More than then two thirds of them vote Democrat once naturalized.

The U.S. immigrant population has doubled since 1990, nearly tripled since 1980, and quadrupled since 1970, when it stood at 9.7 million. Of the 40 million immigrants in the country in 2010, 13.9 million arrived in 2000 or later making it the highest decade of immigration in American history, even though there was a net loss of jobs during the decade. Growth in the immigrant population has primarily been driven by high levels of legal immigration. Roughly three-fourths of immigrants in the country are here legally. With nearly 12 million immigrants, Mexico was by far the top immigrant-sending country, accounting for 29 percent of all immigrants and 29 percent of growth in the immigrant population from 2000 to 2010. The median age of immigrants in 2010 was 41.4 compared to 35.9 for natives.

Dream on. Hillary is far from finished. She is one of the most popular political figures in the country and she can raise funds with the best of them. A few years of getting a physical makeover, some fundraising and organizing using her 2008 primary team, and speeches all over the country will cement her as the Dem nominee. Obama will enthusiastically endorse her as part of the payback to Bill campaigning for him and an adoring MSM will make her a landslide winner.

Hillary will prove to be even more popular among women and Hispanics than Obama.

Republicans need to fight and speak out about abortion. The Catholic church is 45%+ hispanic, and if the republicans push abortion and homosexual marriage they might have a chance.

I still believe the illegals need to be deported and be made to come here legally. The liberals are only concerned with votes, not laws. Unless the republicans are willing to come out fighting, we will lose.
