It Won’t Be Hillary (she's doomed and the Rats don't have anybody else alert)
American Spectator ^ | April 24, 2015 | Scott McKay

Peter Schweizer’s book will finish off doomed Clinton campaign. Who else do Dems have?

Honestly, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign won’t go any further than — if it even gets as far as — her ill-fated 2008 attempt at returning to the White House. After all, Clinton isn’t a more attractive candidate now than she was then, and after two terms of a failed Democrat president one would think it would require a candidate with real political skill to keep a Democrat installed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Clinton, unlike her glib husband, has no such talent. Last week’s amateurish and clumsy “rollout” to her presidential bid showed she has no more aptitude for retail politics than she has for messaging. Want proof? This woman, who touched off guffaws nationwide by claiming she and Bill were “dead broke” upon leaving the White House (with silverware in tow) in 2001, decided to offer herself as a champion of the little people as the key theme of her campaign.

If ever there was an ill-fitting and ill-considered elevator pitch for a political candidate, it’s the narrative of Hillary Clinton as the defender of ordinary Americans.

She didn’t and she kicks herself for it personally I think. She had the mechanism and means and didn’t use it. Now, after 8 years of Obama, eight years of boozing, getting fatter and more wrinkled, still hiding, conniving, concocting and lying she doesn’t have the backup force structure because it’s all used up protecting Obama (still) and her superpolitican husband has been too busy chasing dope, ass and money.

This is one of the best analysis of the butchbitch's current predicament that I've seen posted.

She really does go to bed thinking, "Why didn't I shoot the halfrican when I had the chance?" and the only answer that comes back is, "How could I have won without the multiple-ghetto voters?" A true conundrum, wrapped in an enigma, surrounded by her stench.

re: young democrat candidates

I think running after the Obama debacle is more off putting than running against Hillary

Obama is the reason a nominated Hillary will lose

Hillary wants to be President but she won’t come before the American people to face questions about anything,she sends out her slimey,sleazy, greasy hacks to spew bilge about anything but the facts.
She is a pathetic speaker,she has to have everything prepared for her,she comes across as Kim Jong Un with the clapping seal act as she comes on the stage,better beware if you don’t clap along with the left wing hack

The MSM has elected a completely unelectable Presidential candidate two elections in a row, simply by defining him as a Holy Welfare State Warrior and refusing to air contrary evidence. They are eager to show they can do it again.

Couldn’t they just dig up another “community organizer” ... or maybe a dog catcher? How about Jesse Jacksn’s son; he seems to be their type(?)

“I think running after the Obama debacle is more off putting than running against Hillary”

It’s a matter of perspective. Democrats do not consider Obama a failure. They live in a glowing world where butterflies land on your fingertips, unicorns nicker and graze in rainbow covered green fields and the government can give everybody everything. The only failure is that the government does not have sufficient power to give everybody everything yet.

If he really thinks that then he's incredibly naive.

Asimov is a fine example of the futility of trying to reason with a liberal. Even with his vast knowledge of history and sharp brain, and his ability to write accurate scenarios of mankind’s future, he was a liberal first. Hated Reagan so much that he found it easier to deny that the Star Wars Defense Initiative could ever become a reality. Turned his back on an entire lifetime of believing in the future technology and human achievement to toe the party line.
Proves to me that we can depend on nothing but ourselves to survive this mess. The politicians,the heads of the military , the police, the news media. All are in it for the short term personal gain, future of the country be damned!

Romney trashed himself supporting Obamacare,he was the originator of that,it did not take a billion dollars to make me aware of that.
Ted Cruz is a strong candidate,if the American people are to stupid to see that,then too bad the country is finished anyway,it has become a cesspool of whining ethnic groups,sexual perverts,baby killers,a corrupt government at every agency you can mention representatives that cower before press that has become the cheerleaders of one side.

She needs to stay in the game to keep the money flow going, to keep the sense of power going, to cut a deal with Obama granting her immunity, and ultimately the cut a deal with Obama to pardon her.

Some time before the end of 2015, there will be a secret meeting with the Clintons, Chuck Schumer, and a representative of the administration (either Valerie Jarrett or Loretta Lynch). They will sit at a table, and the representative will, after a minute or two of pleasantries, ask, "Mrs. Clinton, what will it take to make you withdraw yourself from the Presidential race?" This will come as no surprise to the Clintons. Their price: no indictments or Congressional probes in 2016, a blind eye to any use of Clinton money, and pardons in January 2017. The deal will be struck: the GOP will go along because their candidate will be happy to run against any JVs on the Dem side, and the Dems will go along because they can wait four years to groom a better socialist candidate in the next election. Neither Clinton will live to see the 2020 election, however; if natural causes do not do the trick, one of the aggrieved foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation will make sure of it.

——It’s a matter of perspective.-—

That is why I argue that the pros, the professional politicians that make rational decisions, perceive it is prudent to take a pass in 2016

“She’ll get eaten alive in a debate”..........

I have no doubt in my mind she would be crucified but as the writer stated, it's never going to happen. If she won't meet with the general public how the hell do we expect she would climb on stage with a real debater? I would love to see her debate Cruz to expose her complete incompetence. She has lied, cheated, schemed, dodged and ducked her way thus far but a real "debate" would put a dagger in her heart once and for all.

You only quoted the first part of the sentence. The rest says what you just did.

Hillary will bow out in three to four months—Just a few more scandals and its over for her. But, whats next? Warren, maybe, Bloomberg? Perhaps, Maybe Dean? Biden is cooked—same with most of Obama’s team. The Democrats need a new freash face—an idealist—maybe Latino? A Governor? Maybe Richardson? For VP, Brown of California.

If GOP was smart(they’re not), they would be spending gobs of money running attack ads against her now, just like Obama did against Romney. They could flush her out and she would be forced to respond. The self imposed media blackout on Hillary bad news would end. The new generation of young voters could be taught that Hillary has been and continues to be a greedy, unethical candidate, unsuitable to be POTUS. But then I know the pubbies are not serious about winning. It won’t happen.
