American Way: Can Democrats find rival to Hillary?
The London Telegraph ^ | September 28, 2014 | Matt K. Lewis

From a dubiously purported Native American, a self-described "socialist" and a peddler of dirty books, the Democratic bench of primary challengers is laughably weak.

Whether you believe Hillary Clinton will coast to the Democratic nomination, or that she's the same old flawed candidate who lost to Barack Obama in 2008, it is looking increasingly likely she will have to fend off some primary challengers along the way. Even many liberals who want her to prevail think there might be some salutary effects to a primary fight.

Well, they'd better hope she runs and wins, because the Democratic bench is laughably weak.

Perhaps because Hillary is seen as a shoo-in, much more attention has been paid to the potential 2016 Republican roster than to the likely Democratic field. While it seems likely Hillary will run, there are no guarantees. So it is, perhaps, appropriate to discuss the paucity of options on the left.

The most buzzed-about possible candidate is the Massachusetts senator, Elizabeth Warren. She has much to recommend her, including her status as the darling of the populist Left – a stark contrast to Hillary, who is seen as being too cosy to corporate interests....

All it will take is one ballsy statement by Cruz and the MSM will be up in arms about he could POSSIBLY TREAT A WOMAN THAT WAY. The difference is that, unlike Lazio, unlike most politicians, Cruz will tell the complainers to pull up their big girl panties and deal with it, and that will propel him to victory.

She’ll find some excuse to bring Chelsea’s baby onto the stage for some kind of sympathy vote.

If the evil witch Hitlery KKKlintoon is in a debate with Ted Cruz, the results will be like those of Governor Palin’s total dismantling of Plugs Biden in 2008. Ol’ slo’ Joe looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone after Sarah Palin whooped up on him continually and without mercy.

LOL, I can see him doing it!

Cruz is one of the few that I will immediately start donating to if he says he's running. I think he is and that he could lead us out of this malaise the progressives have created.

I'd rather vote for the groundhog that DelBalsio killed
rather than vote for Hitlery
At least the groundhog doesn't smoke fuumigated cigars

I hope hillary does run and get the nomination. She is easily beatable by virtually any GOP candidate willing to take the gloves off. Of course, lacking that she could probably beat any milk toast meally-mouthed candidate. Got to be a-game hardball right out of the gate. With that, she doesn’t have an oversized leg to stand on.

The Rats will not waste their money on the primaries by having someone run against the devil. Smart actually, because they are going to need all the marketing money to sell America on that evil witch.

I’m sure there’s a few guys out there that aren’t going to go quietly. There were plenty of men bucking her last time around and look what won....an unknown black muzzie...

Maybe the Trey Gowdy debates with her will have a positive outcome.

I don't know about Ted Cruz's grandma, but I suspect his father would do just fine in a debate.

I look for the Dems to dump Hillary for Fauxcahontas Warren.
