I think you guys give Hillary far too much credit. She lost to Donald Trump. I know he's popular around here, but he's not exactly a popular President.(I know, I know, polls lie.)

 

She lost to Barack Obama in 2008. Whatever dirty tricks she has don't seem to work. I assume you think Obama was squeaky clean if you think she's gonna spread her dirt on the actual D primary competitors. 

 

O'Rourke is the frontrunner. Harris would have the second best odds. The Hillary thing seems like wishful thinking on the part of the right. She has a zero.zero percent chance of getting the nomination. Her time has come and gone. Actually her time had come and gone in 2008. The Dems pulled a McCain by running her in 2016. They won't make that mistake again. I'm not making any predictions on the outcome of the GE. I'm just telling you that Trump's opponent will not be Hillary.

everything she says is 100% righteous and not available for scrutiny by the MSM

 

I just don't agree with this Row. The MSM(CNN, MSNBC) rarely discuss Hillary. I turn on Fox News and it's all Hillary, all the time. She's old news. Time for everyone to move on from that woman.

You say that like you have a choice.

 

You don't have a choice. The DNC makes the choice for you. That's why your party has super delegates. To protect their chosen candidate.

 

They have the microphone, and you don't...

Yeah. The superdelegate system is asinine. Just noting that the Clinton machine appears to be impotent. Couldn't beat a junior Senator in 2008 or a political neophyte in 2016.

  In terms of winning the general election your observation about the Clinton's is apt.  But in terms of securing the Democratic Party nomination the Clinton Machine is very potent and that is a large part of the battle.  I think that Hillary wields more power behind the curtains than Ted Kennedy ever did being a legacy of JFK.  Hillary does not care one iota about her chances.  It is all about massaging her ego which is a 24/7 job for those around her.

She wasn't gonna beat a racist black man, and her campaign was too lazy to beat Trump.

 

But none of that matters. The only thing that matters is what the DNC wants. And they want Hillary.

  And they are willing to risk that random chance will land in their favor in terms of the general election.  That the 6 months leading up to Nov 2020 will be full of bad economic news and perhaps a foreign policy blunder which will dampen enthusiasm for Trump to the point of derailing him.

The DNC certainly screwed Sanders in 2016 and ensured Hillary's victory/loss. What kinda rigged operation slips questions to a candidate? She deserved to lose. This time around, I think it's the RNC that wants Hillary. Time will tell. If you're correct, Donald Trump has a 100 percent chance of re-election. I don't believe you're correct.

  I don't see a win in that for Hillary so the odds are pretty remote.

  If Hillary went back to her historical positions on issues such as gay rights then the Republicans would be a better fit but I don't think that changes anything for the RNC in terms of feeling that she is desirable to them.

What I meant was that the RNC would love a Trump/Clinton re-match.

I wouldn't be so quick to anoint the Hispanic Irishman just yet. He's too 'exhausted' to run right now, and he's just waiting for the people smarter than him to tell him the best time to enter the race.

"O’Rourke said he is “very happy” in El Paso. If he joins the race, he added, it would be in response to a sense of obligation."

 

Suuure Beto. In other words, "beg me and I'll run." This guy has a massive ego. The kind of ego required to reach the highest office in the land. He's running.

I guess his sense of obligation would come from the knowledge that only he can properly lead us and solve our problems.

When you have nutbag women creating batschiitt crazy music videos for you, it's not surprising your ego makes you think you can be president.

 

He should remain a furry until AOC burns out. There's only room for one chucklehead.
