DAVID BROOKS FORESEES RISE OF JERRY BROWN IN 2016 DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION RACE
Breitbart ^ | Jan 24, 2104 | Staff

Posted on 01/24/2014 10:47:09 PM PST by bkopto

On Friday's "NewsHour" on PBS, New York Times columnist David Brooks downplayed super PAC Priorities USA's decision to align itself with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential contest and predicted the rise of Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) as an outsider in the race.

"Well, they're trying to scare people out of the race," Brooks said. "It's the sound of doom. No, I don't think it's the sound of doom, but I do not think she is going to be coronated out of this. And the fact that some high-flying Washington establishment PAC is helping her is not going to necessarily help her. There is a great outsider hunger here. And I'm looking for an outsider. Gov. Jerry Brown of California, mark my words, he's going to run."

No way Brown beats Space Testicle Hillary.

She the SMRTest woman in the whirl.

All I know is that for most of my life, the worst stuff and started in California and spread to the nation. It’s hard to believe that this state used to vote for Republicans. That’s not likely to happen again in my lifetime.

I just hope all the lefties stay put out there and don’t come to the Red States to further impair our freedoms.

Democrats have the most incompetent selection as presidential contenders.

We may not have been the only ones who noticed that Hillary looked like she was auditioning for "Weekend at Bernie's 2016".

Other than Hillary, the Democrat field is pretty weak.

You are right that Dems have nothing but Hillary, and she has to be observing that the Democrats are hardly excited about that sorry fact.

Another case of a Soros propped candidate, but this time quite out of style, unattractive, and just plain old. I don’t think she will run if she thinks she’s going to have to work at it, like last time. The old girl won’t run against Jeb Bush and the Bush machine and that is what she is waiting on. Imho. :)

Brooks is trying to be the replacement for David Broder as the oh-so-serious pundit without a clue.

We should check Brook’s travel records...he may have been in Colorado...that would explain this.
