Democrats in Washington are Starting to Shift From the Obamas to the Clintons

Democrats in Washington are starting to shift from the Obamas to the Clintons.

[WATCH VIDEO]

Hillary Clinton has already racked up a couple of endorsements for the 2016 presidential race — and she hasn’t even announced she’s running yet. Requests are flooding in for the former secretary of State to campaign for candidates.

Of course, President Obama remains the most sought-after figure, but his star power could fade in the coming months as the chatter about his successor intensifies. His approval rating has fallen as his administration has grappled with a variety of controversies ranging from IRS overreach to government snooping.

“The political focus of the Democratic Party will shift to Hillary, and in some ways it has already,” said former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D), who, as a staunch Clinton supporter, has an interest in seeing his forecast come true.

He noted that while Obama will be the policy leader of the party, there will be an “inherent transition” politically to the person Democrats see as the next leader.

If you oppose Obama’s policies, you’re a racist. Hillary’s? You’re a sexist.

This one was pretty easy to see coming a long time ago. Team blue is anointing it’s new mascot. How are you guys going to feel once tubby bush gets forced on you? You know at least half or more people here will dutifully carry his water in 2016.

*rattling around in the junk box in the basement of the DNC *

“Hey, look what I found. Another Clinton!

She’s dusty and dangerous, but us Democrats don’t care about that! We control the media. We can make ANYBODY win”

The same ones that said, "never again" after Dole, "never again" after McCain and "never again" after Romney.

Ted Cruz, Trey Gowdy, Allan Wet. Sarah is going nowhere, IMO.

The Klintoons are more clever than the Kenyan marxist, but every bit as evil.

Well we will find out.

IMHO, Palin is the perfect candidate.

She in bold, experienced, pleasant and she has been vetted. Big-time vetted.

Sarah Palin currently, for 2016, represents a nearly perfect GOP candidate.

She likewise represents the strongest possible candidate to oppose the aging liberal Hillary in 2016.

I am aware Palin is not currently running. And I do to a certain extent share your opinion that she sidelined herself. For some reason. At the very last minute, last time.

However I believe she is the near-perfect GOP candidate.

Until she states she is not running, I will campaign strongly for her.

She is the near-perfect, anti-Hillary.

Likewise when elected, she will bring all the various aspects of the GOP together.

Sarah Palin represents excellence for 2016.

Yes it should be exposed but we know the media will do all in their power to bury Benghazi..The people that vote for these criminals could care less as long as they keep getting freebies.

Just going from memory but around 1999-2000 I seem to recall one or two, shall we say prominent posters here swearing to never support that coked out punk kid of GHW bush. How did that turn out? Oh, and those of us who are serious about not supporting tubby bush will get the blame for hillary getting back into the white house.

I have a feeling Slow Joe’s not going to like this. He has sat in waiting for the Presidency for years. He’ll take a run. Whether he gets anywhere or not is another story.

If he’s the gop nominee there’s no other choice.

Frankly I didn’t like Romney but no one in the primaries was stellar. If people don’t like bush this time then either put up or shut up.
