FTA: While Hillary 2.0 may seem contrived and certainly not a conservative's choice, she's no Barack Obama.

A lot of column inches/bytes used only to close out the piece with this sentence of damning by faint praise. I'm having a hard time figuring out the writer's point unless it was to say that the GOP has a strong likelihood to shoot itself in the foot and most of us here already knew that.

In my view Baraq is just the front man for the Chicago Mob.
He’s got the Rasputinesque ValJ and Axlegrease to do the policy work.

Hillary is the real deal. She’s the senior don of the Clinton Crime Family.

The writer's point was that if we field a weak candidate, we stand a good chance of losing and would we rather lose to Hillary Clinton or someone else?

In 2008, we lost to someone else. Look how that worked out.
