Liberal leaders want Hillary Clinton to face a primary challenge in 2016 if she decides to run for president.
The goal of such a challenge wouldn’t necessarily be to defeat Clinton. It would be to prevent her from moving to the middle during the Democratic primary.
“I do think the country would be well served if we had somebody who would force a real debate about the policies of the Democratic Party and force the party to debate positions and avoid a coronation,” said Roger Hickey, co-director of Campaign for America’s Future, an influential progressive group.

If only she’d been on Challenger.
Did I just type that? Yikes!
Who are they kidding?
They are hot for “You didn’t build that” squaw Elizabeth Warren.
I think we have had enough of Kennedys, Bushs and Clintons.
Let someone new have a try.
But, make it someone with some meaningful experience unlike O.
A challenger? How about MObama?
Seriously. I could see her taking the path Hillary took with getting selected as a senator, then a post in the HRC white house then - in due time - getting the selection to be the prez.
Only problem with this scenario - it assumes the USA will still be around by then. If FUBO doesn’t finish us off - Hitlery would.
Yup. The moonbats love that particular moonbat.
Personally, I think she’s pretty damn scary, even by moonbat standards.
To move left of Hillary you’d have to come full political circle and sneak up behind people on the right. IOW she is a far far left lefty!
The people who deliver "news and opinion" to the low information public are a liability to everyone's freedom.
Keep her from moving to the middle? Why not? Don’t they want her to win? But hey, if they want her to stay well left, who am I to argue?
Then again, she did manage to win a US Senate seat despite being caught red-handed in a series of lifelong lies about being an Indian.
So we likely dismiss her at our peril.
No, she's plenty far enough to the left.
I agree, this is how the imposter is going to get around the 22nd amendment. He’s not going to give up his plane, golf course, Hawaii and Maratha’s Vineyard vacations and hollywood life style, without our money he is nothing.
Yikes!! Scary...no matter how you look at it.
A challenger to the left of her would be great news.
We need them running as Green Party, Reform Party, or whatever party to help the republican. This will be out of their playbook. Sort of like the liberal Texas billionaire bundling enough cash to get the Libertarian clown on the ballot in Virginia.
The wording there is so disingenuous... so, if there are no faux challengers while she decides not to run, will the rats have nobody running?
In any case, Cackle! is running... and threads should have a link to Cackles!'s college thesis from here on in... for our reading and excerpting pleasure.
