Hillary for President: an idea whose time has passed?
Legal Insurrection ^ | 2/10/15 | Amy Miller

Posted on 02/11/2015 9:50:39 AM PST by BlatherNaut

Yesterday, operative and scourge-of-the-right-wing David Brock resigned in protest from pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA Action. In his message to the board, he accused his colleagues of orchestrating a “hit job” against his other project organizations, American Bridge and Media Matters.

More from Politico:

Those groups — along with another pro-Clinton group, the super PAC Ready for Hillary — had their fundraising practices called into question last week by a New York Times report. It pointed out that veteran Democratic fundraiser Mary Pat Bonner got a 12.5 percent commission on funds she raised for Brock’s groups and a smaller percentage commission on cash she raised for Ready for Hillary.

In his letter to the co-chairs of Priorities’ board — former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina — Brock alleged that “current and former Priorities officials were behind this specious and malicious attack on the integrity of these critical organizations.”

The letter — and Brock’s resignation — offer a rare glimpse into a network of groups upon which Democrats are relying to keep the White House and stave off increasingly robust big-money efforts on the right. The public airing of dirty laundry comes as sources say Priorities is struggling to live up to the hopes of some Clinton allies, who had argued it should aim to raise as much as $500 million to eviscerate prospective Clinton rivals in the primary and general elections.

It’s not just the groups that Democrats are relying on to keep the White House—it’s the optics of the thing.

Right now, Hillary Clinton is the left’s only primary season sure thing.

More accurately, an idea whose time was never.

I apologize for the inaccuracy of the photo, as it is several years old.

She would have been better than Obama—but, her ship has sailed. Time to seek another—Real Democrat—Not a Progressive Commie.

Come on. All she needs is a catchy slogan and theme song and she’s off and running again:

Wow! Pretty nice gig...make one phone call to a rat fat-cat, persuade them to 'donate' $5M, and pocket ($5M x 12.5%) a cool $625K.

Life is good on the plantation!

0bama proved a new thing:

The most truly politically and philosophically thorough candidate can win both the Primaries and General. Focus turns out 100% of your core.

So, I expect the Dems to come up with another communist.

I wish Republicans would learn the same lesson and come up with a conservative. But they are the stupid party, so they’ll come up with another Dole/McCain/Romney and lose to the commie.

Oh, she might have made a good Treasurer for her fifth grade class, but she’s moldy now.

All those fresh, young faces of the Democrat Party like Hillary and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown and Chuck Schumer and Jesse Jackson.

The next Democrat Convention is going to be at The Villages in Florida.

Cankles has already picked up bad habits from Barack.

When times get tough...Zero disappears to the golf course. When things go south for Hill, she just...disappears.

“Uh...anybody seen Madam President?”

“Have you checked under her bed?”

You mean the candidate whose only claim was association to a president from the 90s is outdated?

I’m SHOCKED!

An idea that never was.

I remember that Hugh Hewitt, on his radio show, (maybe a year ago)was asking every Democrat or liberal media type, what her qualifications were. Also, the real stumper, name one accomplishment. It was amusing because there was absolutely nothing. This woman is such an empty (pant)suit.

I also remember reading an article about how everyone on the Left's side, who could be considered Presidential material, is very old. Conversely, it is the Republicans who have the youthful candidates.
