    Maybe so, but by 2016 she'll be 69 yrs old and we already know she's not in the best of health. Dems treat her liabilities like they handle everything else... by sticking their heads in the sand and denying there's any problem. They had their chance to get her elected in 2008, but pushed her aside for the shiny newcomer.

    It's too late now... she's too old.

    as I said a while back, Hillary would use the down time to shed some pounds, get some rest and improve her look. Don't be surprised if she gets a lift, a tuck and even does the Botox thing like Kerry.

    I cannot stress this enough

    The Democrat Party, the actual puppetmasters know that if Hillary is not the candidate that the the country will get better under GOP leadership. They cannot allow that to occur and let people see that capitalism is the tide to lift all boats.

    Hillary will not run if she is really as intelligent as they describe her ...

    I'm not a Republican and even the MSM was commenting on how she was hurting herself with her gaffes and inability to support her record. Did you miss the Diane Sawyer interview? She stands a very good chance of being the next President, not as good as a month or two ago but still a very good chance and the would be another disaster following this one.

    all this speculation two years out is like regurgitating last year's news and then gargling it over and over again. Will Hillary be the nominee? Who can tell. It did look like she had a lock on it eight years ago, but then Obama came along. Will someone else "come along" out of nowhere and dethrone her this time? Maybe. Probably not, however. The point is that the GOP, as fractured as it is between **********s and old time establishment types, will have a tough time getting any candidate through their primary process that will be able to attract enough of the center of the bell curve to beat Hillary or whoever might come along from the democrats to unseat her at the top.

    It is pretty standard practice for potential candidates to run to the right or left to capture their base and thus their party's nomination during the primary process and then to immediately start moving towards the middle (Romney's etch-a-sketch attempt) to capture the middle. I don't think Hillary has to run very far to the left in order to capture the democratic nomination, and I DO think that any republican will need to court the **********s to such an extent that it will put them too far right if and when they do win the nomination....

    but again... it's just gargling vomit this far out.

    It's going to be very funny when ....Sarah Palin is in her 60s and her fans still dream of her running for President.

    He would have been a good viable centrist candidate for the Dems a few years ago, but there isn't going to be a market for what he's selling in the post-Obama Democratic Party.

    I'm not voting for Hilliary because she's a woman.

    Actually whats really funny.....is watching how any supporting her can't seem to come up with any accomplishments other than her Frequent Flyer Miles and that Stamina of Strength Claire McCaskill was talking about.

    But really all we need do is let the Hill-Dog do what she does best. That would be.....Putting Both of her feet in her mouth. Like today.



    Hillary: No, Seriously, Our Russian 'Reset' Worked......

    [​IMG]

    Hillary Clinton and her supporters have famously struggled to identify her major, tangible accomplishments as Secretary of State. Perhaps she's finally settled on an answer, and it's a doozy:

    Engineering a blossoming restoration of US-Russia relations is a major achievement, and Hillary would like American voters to know that she pulled it off, or something. Her timing is impeccable. Over the last few years, Moscow has complicated our efforts to halt Iran's nuclear march, ignored us completely on human rights, ostentatiously harbored a treacherous American fugitive, invaded (another) bordering country, and helped Kremlin-aligned rebels blow an airliner out of the sky. With international pressure mounting, Vladimir Putin's allies are escalating their hostilities, not backing down -- while the Russian government spins wild and debunked conspiracies about the Malaysian Airlines attack. With that spiraling catastrophe as her backdrop, Her Majesty has decided to pronounce her "reset" charm offensive a success. If you find yourself laughing incredulously, we've officially come full circle. That policy began with a hearty chortle, too:

    "Don't think too hard" might as well be an early frontrunner for her 2016 campaign-in-waiting's slogan. She's going to ask voters to give her political credit for all of the good things that happened during her husband's presidency and the Obama administration, while absolving her of the negative developments. She'll cherry-pick all day and all night. Clinton economy? Let's bring it back. The Obamacare mess? I would have done it more effectively. Etc, etc. But until she formally throws her hat in the ring, we'll have to endure an exhausting parade of coy hints, and an increasingly steady diet of the 'First Woman President' narrative.....snip~

    Instead of sprucing up, Hil's wearing herself out trying to sell a book right now. Not to mention those pricey speaking engagements we've heard so much about. Neither of these pursuits would be possible if she's wasn't in the running for 2016. Do you really think she'd drop out now and give up this gravy train?

    My theory is.. the dems will bring out another rockstar none of us have ever heard of before and he/she will be swept into the WH by promises of hope & change. The DNC is too stupid to come up with an original idea. They'll keep trying to recreate Obama's 'stunning victories' until it doesn't work anymore.

    Hopefully 2016.

    why would you think that I would give a flying (*)(*)(*)(*) when you stopped reading anything? It seems like you might be just a tad too sold on yourself, imho.

    If you want to prevent Hillary or the next democratic rock star from being swept into the WH in 2016, the very FIRST thing you've got to do is to come up with a candidate that can capture more that the dwindling GOP base. From what I can see, your stable of fast horses is pretty small... actually, your stable of horses is pretty small, your stable of fast ones is non-existent.

    the Democrats have.................................................................................................Hillary


    that's it

    no other Democrat would defeat Christie or Romney (yup, those are the 2 GOP'ers)

    Only Hillary in the Democrat party has a brand known by all

    She has to run or your party will lose the WH

    This is true. The only accomplishment one needs to become president is the one where you convince enough people to vote for you for president.

    The Nation is tired of the Incompetent.....weak ass whining and crying Party of Sell outs, known as the Democratic Party.

    Hillary trying to run and shouting out.....I am woman, here me roar. Isnt going to work this time.

    Run Hillary.....Please run. So we can not only destroy you politically.....but so we can also destroy youyr Ole Mans Global Initiative.

    Yes she was considered the presumptive nominee then and the a relatively unknown came along and blew her away. Or perhaps the left places race on a higher pedestal than sex?

    So when it suits you diversity and having an open discussion and many view points is good and when is suits you it is bad.


    I agree he sex takes care of that and gives them cover to ignore things like she was one of the most vocal and ardent supports of going to war in Iraq. Just look how Bush and Cheney and Rice and various Republicans are chastised and held to invective such as they should be in jail but Hillary gets an absolute 100% whitewash of the matter.

    I think you make too big a deal and imagine too big a split here and that there is this big TP movement out there. AND I believe most on the right learned from the last few campaigns that once the primary is over time to get on board and the next goal is to make sure the Democrats are not in power.

    Talking heads gotta talk. That's what they get paid to do. Nobody is more likely, at this moment, to become our next President than is Hillary Clinton. That said, she is growing old. Bill's health is failing. She will soon become a Grandmother. I wouldn't be surprised if she declines to run. Nor would it surprise me that she would remain intentionally coy about her decision simply for the purpose of wasting the time and effort of the Republican slime machine right up until the very last minute.

    I read of few who "dream" of her running again. Yes she certainly would have made a better President than Obama had see run for that office against him, certainly a better VP than the idiot Biden. And yes she would make a better President than HIllary, but she won't run because the MSM would once again be relentless and support going after her family again.

    Well when you pit a VERY well know actor against relatively little known actors what do you get?

    I haven't disagreed with that but the fact remains she didn't help herself with the book tour and in fact hurt herself with her gaffes and her insulting the intelligence of the average working stiff about her and Bill being poor and struggling. She also exposed once again how thin skinned she is and what a lousy campaigner she will be. She is not a good speaker, one of the things that got Obama elected and can't handle questions very well as was exposed in the Diane Sawyer interview.

    If she decides not to run those may be the announced reasons but not the real reasons.

    Not sure the FEC timeframe here but once you announce certain things happen as to do with funds and spending and such plus she is just keeping open the possibility she may not do so well again and be able to save face.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Another two years of this mess and rational minds in the Democrat party might just be looking for someone like him.

    Heck she couldn't come up with any and remember this is the woman who didn't have the stamina to deal with Benghazi.

    But really all we need do is let the Hill-Dog do what she does best. That would be.....Putting Both of her feet in her mouth. Like today.



    What an audacious statement. Of course she is banking on the MSM picking up on it and carrying the ball when in fact it was a total fisaco and that balance of power between us Russia couldn't be worse at this point thanks to her and Obama.

    So what? She's still the front runner by a significant margin among all candidates of any party. Is she the perfect candidate? No.

    Do the Republicans have a viable candidate? No.





    Interesting. I didn't know that we had psychics here on PF.





    The administration of President Obama has been a stunning success in comparison to that of our previous President. Webb is a viable candidate. It would be foolish for him to announce his intentions to run at this stage of the game. It's only 2014.
