The Clintons are corrupt but they are NOT stupid.
They can see things are NOT trending their way.
I’m expecting Cory Booker to be floated in 2016 by the Chicago Machine.
Interesting. I have raised a similar point that after Obama beat Hillary in ‘08, his peeps are now firmly convinced that the Presidency is their personal property.
I feel the Democrat Party is going to have a really, really hard time nominating non-minorities going forward.
I agree. Videos of Hillary with her "Reset" button, her earlier attempts at nationalizing health care, as well as Benghazi are just a few things going against her. I also think her health is more of an issue than Hillary's camp is letting on. If she has any kind of health episode in a public setting with the cameras rolling, that will be it for her.
Regarding Booker, I think he may get some consideration as the VP candidate, but I can't see him at the top of the ticket - too many parallels with Obama's candidacy. I thought for a while that John Kerry might make another run at the White House, but after his disastrous stint as Secretary of State, I don't see that happening now.
I think they hold the key to 2016. Whoever they back will win. So far I've not seen Axlegrease commit to anybody. Messina jumped on the Hillary bandwagon but he's a latecomer to the Chicago mob.
Speaking of the Chicago Machine...

Buzz at the Conservative Political Action Conference is that Hillary Clinton might not be running for president in 2016 — and might instead be a placeholder for Rahm, who was President Obama’s chief of staff before he ran for mayor.
Another theory: Rahm will be Hillary’s running mate on a Clinton-Emanuel ticket.
One clue as to ruthless Rahm’s ambitions: He is being showcased in CNN’s “Chicagoland,” the documentary series produced by Robert Redford which debuted on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Zeke, the bioethicist and fellow at the Center for American Progress, has emerged as the chief apologist for Obamacare.
The doctor just released a book titled: “Reinventing American Healthcare: How the Affordable Care Act Will Improve Our Terribly Complex, Blatantly Unjust, Outrageously Expensive, Grossly Inefficient, Error Prone System.”
And Ari — the template for the brash Ari Gold character Jeremy Piven played in “Entourage” — is being credited with killing Mel Gibson’s career with the column he wrote in the Huffington Post back in 2006, urging Hollywood to shun Gibson for making anti-Semitic remarks.
