Don’t Bet on Hillary for 2016 Just Yet

Exit strategy:

A Hillary Clinton presidential candidacy looks like a sure thing, with marquee Democratic donors and activists mobilizing for what they see as her inevitable entrance into the 2016 race.

Yet some of Mrs. Clinton’s closest confidants and allies aren’t sold on the idea that she should run. Their cautions add an unpredictable element as Mrs. Clinton weighs whether to seek the presidency again, a decision she says she plans to make later this year.

One of Mrs. Clinton’s top advisers and former aides, Cheryl Mills, believes she should stay out of the contest and has told her as much, according to people familiar with her views. But Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) says she encourages Mrs. Clinton to run every chance she gets.

Others close to Mrs. Clinton worry that another campaign would test her stamina as she moves into her late 60s and would revive scandals from Bill Clinton’s White House that could prove personally painful.

Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, a longtime friend of the Clintons who has made films for their past campaigns, said she thinks Mrs. Clinton would like to run, and that she would like to see her friend do what makes her happiest.

She added: “I’m not in the political camp; I’m in the friends camp. And the friends camp definitely has concerns about her running.”

As I have stated here many times before, Hillary is an awful candidate and I am not sure why so many Republicans worry about her. She won her first campaign because Rudy Giuliani got cancer. That propelled her to an easy win against a sacrificial lamb of a candidate in her second one. In 2008, she was the overwhelming favorite to win the nomination and the White House, and we know how that turned out.

If we are getting the “concerned friends” blah blah from the always carefully controlled Clinton spin machine, it must mean that even they know the progs are going to keep pressing Elizabeth Warren to run. They want there to be an exit strategy in order to avoid Madame Overrated being embarrassed in another presidential race.

The Dems I know are muttering about Elizabeth Warren Shootingbull.

She is the absolutely perfect billboard for where that party is headed.

I absolutely agree. That B totally supported Obamacare from A - Z and she now knows that that and Benghazi and her health and the fact that so many hate her passionately spell doom for her candidacy. This is to say nothing of BJ Clinton’s spiraling reputation.

.....and let's not forget Hillary posing with her Russian counterpart, pushing her famous "Reset' button. That will look good in a Republican campaign ad.

RE: She’ll be awful old by 2020.

In 2016 She’ll be Reagan’s age when he was first elected. If she runs on 2020, she’ll be Reagan’s age in his second term, and older than McCain when he ran in 2008.

Nominate Max Klinger.

This is what we're going to see starting next year, all over the place 1000% guaranteed - except they'll be wearing tee-shirts and holding signs that say "Hillary".

Oh yes, and if you voice your opinion saying you are against Hillary, you will be immediately branded "sexist" and "anti-woman".

I was at an event a few years ago, in which Obama made a short speech (Yes, it was for work and was absolutely mandatory). As Obama worked the rope line, a female colleague of mine completely lost control of her mind and grabbed Obama in a sort of bear hug. SS pried her off pretty quickly, but her look of euphoria/imbicility was just like the women in your pictures.

BHOrgasm!

They are stuck with Hillary. Who else can the democrats offer for 2016 at this late date. Hillary was the plan and democrats want to see how the 2014 elections play out before jumping ship. In the meantime, they must follow the party line and continue to support her.

If she doesn’t fare well in the early polls, a lot of money and time will have been wasted. If 2014 continues to go badly for them, it will be hard to find any democratic candidate lining up for support from Obama or Hillary. She’s going to bleed the resources of the democrats. The opposition has only to exploit these failures and sell it to the low information voters to swing the vote in their favour.

If she does have a medical issue, it needs to be out front as soon as possible. Any way you look at it, it’s the oppositions war to lose.

EXACTLY how old is Hillary?

I don’t believe she is ‘just entering her 60’s”.

RE: EXACTLY how old is Hillary?

She was born on October 26, 1947. She will be 67 this year.

Hillary does alright on the campaign when every potential rival has been removed and she's in a liberal hotbed running. Not so much in the real world where she is on her own and occasionally lets the truth slip out. She's a catastrophe waiting to happen. The community organizer bitch slapped her for crying out loud. Best thing for us is for her to be the candidate... there are more skeletons in her closet than the local cemetery!!!

[VRW Conspirator]

That is why I label him as the Big O.

[wetgundog]

The Whoa-man will suck up all the attention and all the contributions before she announces she isn’t running. That is how selfish the b!tch is.

“..would revive scandals from Bill Clinton’s White House that could prove personally painful”

Bill’s scandals are the least of her problems, she’s got plenty of her own scandals to worry about.

That fat kankled, fugly, rug munchen communist hog can run or not, but for any demonRAT following the debacle called obamacare, it's going to be like pissen up a wet rope in a down draft.

Unless the pubbies run al gore, it's gonna be such a landslide, that all the voter fraud that the demonRATs use still won't save them.

That would make her 469 in human years.

Your post is the best post of the thread!

I'm not so sure the Republicans wouldn't' run Al Gore. I was going to say "That's how inept they are" but I think the reality is that they love the leftward slide as much as the dems do but have to have a little show every 4 years so the country doesn't revolt.

It's unreal, they're like teenage girls going after Justin Beiber and that is very dangerous when it comes to politics because they are voting on superficiality rather than substance. My own mother and Aunt are the same exact way. I got my mother to wise up and vote against him but not my Aunt. I told my Aunt "If you vote for Obama I absolutely guarantee you 1000% you will regret it" and she voted for him anyway. She finally told me last year that she regretted it, that I was right and she made a mistake. That's all fine and dandy, but meanwhile the rest of the country had to go through 4 years of crap as a result of women like her.
