    Because her performance over Benghazi has been horrible. She was sec of state and over saw the conditrions that led to the Benghazi disaster. She would be a disaster for America were she to become president.

    This did not go over well with the nation:

    She'd get 300 electoral votes without breaking a sweat. I hope she runs--I don't like close elections.

    really? you really think that?

    did you watch that clip of her testimony? You know the part where she doesnt care how it happened, and 5 seconds later she says we have to find out what happened to prevent it from happening again?

    I cant wait to hear hillarys new campaign..... The stupidity to lead, America !!!

    the best thing that she can do right now is lay low. Do not discount who her husband is or all of the favors owed and will be called in once the campaign begins in earnest. Right now, I'm sure they are struggling with the decision a to whether or not to involve themselves in the 2014 mid terms or to let it play out on its own, and then re-emerge.

    They have absolutely nothing to lose. Depending on how the wind is blowing; if full idiocy and Democrats take back the house, then she declares herself a loyal subject of Obama

    If the Dems do not fare well, then they can come out and remind everyone of the wonderful Clinton era and to return to prosperity requires a vote for them

    will all get behind the campaign for her

    As long as the corporations are feeding billions of dollars into political candidate's campaigns, it doesn't matter who wins the election. It only provides for bragging rights.

    If she runs, those words will come back to haunt her over and over again. People knows four people died and the reason why they died matters to most of us.

    That was her try out for bigger and better things...and she failed miserably. She better hope that "has a Vagina" is still worth what they're banking on it being worth in 2016

    Everything listed is true regarding why her popularity is slipping but one thing was absent; the MSM itself. Remember that these are they guys and gals who enthusiastically threw Hillary over for Barack Obama back in 2008 and wrote terrible things about her and Bill in the process. These are the men and women who went freaking all out for their guy Obama and now no matter how much they may privately admit on the closed to outsiders liberal and leftwing Washington D.C. cocktail circuit that they regret ever having endorsed Barack Obama for anything it still galls them to admit that they were WRONG to have tossed her aside in favor of Obama. It's an ego thing and so that means that they are not quite the cheerleader advocates for Hillary now that they were for Obama back in 2008 . . . and on a subconscious basis readers tend to pick up that sort of thing.

    Yeah, Hillary is great! Um . . . sorta . . . that is considering that we were totally wrong about Obama's fitness for the highest office on Earth and that we don't actually -- you know -- like Hillary herself or her personal brand of liberalism and that we really wish that it was Bill running for office again and that we really didn't much like his personal brand of liberalism either when you got right down to it and . . . but vote for Hillary because she is GREAT!

    Yeah, right.

    LMAO...You people must be terrified of Hillary's chances.
    Maybe a little less hysterical character assassination and a little more finding a con candidate who isn't a raving lunatic fringe idiot would improve your chances in 2016.
    There are way more women than blacks in the US, and the intelligent ones aren't going to take too kindly to the diarrhea of vicious misogynist bull(*)(*)(*)(*) that you people are already spouting.
    Personally, I expect the cons to double down on their misogynist attacks rather than do the intelligent thing and convince voters that they have the better candidate.

    Since the Dems own Obamacare lock, stock & barrel. .. it doesnt matter who's on the ticket in 2016. By then, people will be paying huge penalties for not signing up and Dems won't be able to buy votes in Chicago, much less the rest of the country, regardless of who's running.

    They can thank Obama for the party's demise.

    So not liking Hillary translates to being a misogynist huh. I guess that makes her the perfect candidate for dems, they need to call people racist or misogynist to excuse their presidents poor performance.

    Funny about that. The leftwingers who are going to use the, "If you don't support Hillary for president you are a woman-hating misogynist," tactic objected to being labelled misogynists for their treatment of Sarah Palin -- whom they called things and said things about that they would NEVER have said regarding any male.

    That's mainly because most journalists and pundits in this nation are themselves some variant of leftwinger and so they only report from the leftwing perspective for the most part. When you have about one hundred leftwing leaning journalists for every one conservative journalist the information flow to the nation gets distorted -- and in many cases the truth gets flushed down the toilet.

    Not just her performance over Benghazi. It could wind up coming out she had nothing to do about it. Her comment of "What does it really matter anymore," will cost her millions of votes. She came across as it's over and done with, we can't bring them back, so lets move on. As if she didn't care on finding out why help wasn't sent.

    Thus, the preemptive strikes. She hasn't even said she would run.

    I remember the 2012 Presidential debates where Romney faced Obama and attacked him, rather than looking to the audience and presenting ideas. I guess this is the new politicking from the right that we'll all have to get used to.

    Which is exactly why Republicans have chosen not to step into this quagmire. The Democrats are sinking fast and expect the Republicans to throw them a life raft. Republicans can play the same dirty politics Obama and his minions have been playing. Where Obama and his ilk used phony park closures to anger the masses, the Republicans will use the failure of Obamacare to (*)(*)(*)(*) off the masses. And it will be seen entirely as a Democrat mess.

    You can see the fear all over this board. Look at the top 10 threads in the current event section. 80% of them are Anti-Obama, this one is Anti-Hillary. The Repubs are starting the smear campaign as early as possible. That's how you can tell there is fear. The first step is to demonize the opponent, and it is thick right now.

    Do people still really (*)(*)(*)(*)ing think Bengahzi was a scandal? Seriously?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Wait, wait, wait. You think the DEMOCRATS are sinking? After Cruz won't shut his mouth, and the tea party consistently offends minorities and most women, you think the democrats are sinking? Wow, that must be a pretty thick right wing echo chamber you live in. I certainly wouldn't want to be around you when that thing pops.

    What many many 'average low information voters' do not understand is: There has been an all out on-going civil war in the Dem party for decades. The 'East Coast LIBs and the West coast LIBs are fighting for 'turf' just like the 'gang-bangers' are doing.
    There are a lot of West Coast back-room types who have been secretly screaming their heads off 'WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!' re Obama.
    The 'movers and shakers' in the party have memories like elephants. They have in print and on tape EVERY STINKING WORD every MSM person has uttered.
    Example: 'The Little Gray Man' Bashir makes some off the cuff comment about Hillary three years ago. That comment goes into the LIB 'Big Book' and Bashir can either benefit or be 'marked down'. He knows it. They all know it. So it's not whether Bashir comes off as a raving MSNBC LIB in the Party's eyes. That's a given. It's where he is positioned within the 'Big Book'. It's like the 'Domesday Book' of everything and every one associated with the Party. Very complicated.
    Anyway. It's Hillary's to loose now. Good point about what her camp will do or won't after 014. Her camp is out and about right now looking for a 'not too Black, young, thin lipped, small nosed, thin, tall good looking woman with impeccable teeth and english grammar, not a suggestion of Ebonics, single but 'Hetro for VP.
    Campaign slogan? "It's our turn now!". This, if you read it carefully is a 'dog-whistle' saying "we gave a Black male a shot and he blew it. Now it's our turn to clean up the mess he left behind.....including the cigarette burn marks on the Oval Office carpet." (Women HATE that sort of thing!).

    As much as it makes me want to puke, you are right -- IF she sends all the right signals to the growing percentage of Americans who live off of welfare that she will keep the "goodie" coming. The parasites, moochers, and leeches among us don't give a **** about anything except getting their grubby hands on all the free stuff they can get. They would put up with a Josef Stalin-style dictator to keep on getting welfare -- after all, that's what Communism in the Soviet Union under Josef Stalin gave the Russians. We Americans are no different....

    Sadly, I disagree

    You need to look at the messaging and who the Democrats target. The insurance companies will be portrayed as being evil and greedy. The media will propagate that message. The GOP will be portrayed as having done nothing but sit idly by as premiums for all soared through the roof

    The answer to it all is single payer (complete govt take-over) and a Democrat vote will give you free medical care vs deciding if you eat, or pay your insurance premium.

    Call me a cynic but there is not one unintended consequence to the ACA. The mood is right to hook those who have been fed the entitlement mentality and to put govt so far into our lives that the concept of America will die. We will be working to support the govt and handed by them what they feel we deserve.
