Democrats in Washington are Starting to Shift From the Obamas to the Clintons
The Hill ^ | June 20, 2013 | Emily Goodin

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.

You go ahead and sit it out and allow for Madame Hillary to run things for 4-8 years. I will not be a part of that. No way.

Many of you thought that getting Obama in for a term would "teach everybody a lesson" and now into his 2nd term you continue to think getting Hillary elected will do the same. Dead wrong.

I voted in the last two RINO elections and it got us Bupkiss. The RINO’s do more damage than the Dims. You can fight any enemy you can see, we cannot fight a comrade that betrays us in the 11th hour during a vote.

That is my point the vote was still too close that the GOP did not get the message that their candidate sucks. The have no clue, but if they lose by 20+ points and it comes out that conservatives stayed home then they have to face the music. We can offset HRH by ensuring we keep the house and gain in the senate.

I can tell you now Rubio or Bush cannot beat her. They will fight the same fight McRomney did they will not talk about history and issues. They will call her capable and distinguished opponent and what not. They will not fight her.

If you’re coming to an internet chat room looking for answers, your problems are way bigger than you think.

Oh I’ve got my personal answers. But you people only complain and never have anything real to offer.

There was not one in either year. I had no other choice, by the time I got to vote in the primary all other choices were gone by GOP/Media/DNC decree. The “first” primary states screwed the rest of us. Amazing how a sliver of population gets the choice. You want to make it fair have all primaries with 30 days of each other or have a random drawing to set the order. I am sick of Iowa, NH, and SC picking for me.

Bacause of that we got Soetoro.

That's rich. You carry water for the clowns who made this mess and then you get all haughty, thinking that I need to present you with answers to fix it. Go pour you a big cup of get over yourself.

Let me know if you succeed in getting your way.

Meanwhile, I will work to get as conservative a candidate as possible in the primary and then vote against Hillary in the general.

No I will never expect you to have any rational answers.

I know you never will. You'll just whine.

I will not succeed and I know it. I will vote for a conservative or not. My days of compromise are coming to and end as I come to an end.

I never expected you to have answers; people like you don't.

Just whiners...that's all.

And to think of the lucky person you get to go home to and nag to death!

That lucky person feels just the same as I do.

Even more so at times.

We both recognize the whiners who just whine and never offer constructive solutions.

And there you go acting like you want me to offer solutions to your problems again. Maybe you could look into a good astrology website where some spoon bender can tell you how to fix things.

No, I don't expect you to have anything constructive to say.

That's always the way with people like you.

Don't flatter yourself that I expect anything at all from you in the way of improving things.

It won’t matter who votes for who this time, only who COUNTS the votes.

Then quit your pissing and moaning about all the plans to fix things that I’m not giving you.
