If you haven’t heard the news, let me be the one to break it to you: Hillary Clinton is definitely running for president (OK, you knew that), and the two leading contenders to be her running mate are reportedly Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine and Colorado’s own senator… Michael Bennet.
I’m not making this up. It was right there in Politico, under the byline of Washington insider Mike Allen, who got it from people deep inside Hillaryland, where the talk is that Bennet and Kaine have the inside track. (Others mentioned: Sen. Cory Booker, HUD Secretary Julian Castro, Labor Secretary Tom Perez, California AG Kamala Harris.)
OK, I don’t believe it either. I have no idea why there would even be speculation about a vice president at this point, except that on the Democratic side, there’s nothing left to speculate about.

ne was the Iowa kickoff in which Rep. Steve “Cantaloupe Calves” King — Iowa’s immigrant-bashing version of Tom Tancredo — hosted a forum for which about a dozen 2016 contenders showed up.
The bigger story took place in Rancho Mirage, Calif., where the Koch Brothers revealed that their network planned to raise $900 million for the 2016 campaign. That’s more than twice as much as they put together in 2012. It’s similar to the kind of money that the campaigns raise. In fact, it makes the Koch Brothers — along with their big-money donors — a party unto themselves.
Cory Gardner was there along with the other new Republican senators to thank the donors for all their help. Marco Rubio was there, too, saying that the big money had no impact on policy. And Ted Cruz was there, saying that Democratic attacks on the Kochs were “grotesque.”

She’s too old, alcoholic and sick to run.
America’s disgusting veteran Weasel Clarke will be right by her side once again. A 4 star General who can’t say Islamic Terrorist.
How will millennials react to a wrinkled, staggering hag?
************************************
There is speculation she won’t be a wrinkled, staggering hag when she reappears in public (she’s been out of the public eye for a couple of weeks).
Clever girl, actually. She’s playing the map.
If that boring traitor John Kerry can win 246 electoral votes in the first election after 9/11, adding Virginia (which avoided going red even in 2015 a a huge conservative wave year) would get her to 259.
Then she’d only need 11 more, with lots of options. Florida. North Carolina. Ohio. Iowa. Colorado. New Mexico. Nevada. It’d only take one or two, and I don’t doubt she’ll cheat to try to get there.
We need a conservative nominee who can drive conservative voters to the polls in droves. A mushy middle milquetoast guy isn’t going to get it done.
