No doubt

Mrs Clinton will get her support from the Latin community (I think they supported her more than Obama when they were running against one another), maybe even more than the 71% Obama received in the last election.

Mrs Clinton will get a greater number of women supporting her than Obama received, because of the GOPs continued War on Women which will be highlighted and magnified by the Clintons in her run.

Mrs Clinton should get the entire LGBT and Black vote because the GOP doesn’t have crap to offer those two groups (but talk).

Mrs Clinton will probably take more than the 73% of the Asian American vote than Obama collected in the last election.

Mrs Clinton will get most all of the male democrats pulling for her.

That leaves crazy old white people and bigots that will not support her run. What’s that? About 39% of the voting public that considers themselves tea party supporters/FOX news watchers/Limbaugh listeners/Drudge Report clickers.

Mrs Clinton will breeze right into the White House.

She is a Faux Democrat, doesn't have the vision of her husband, and she is just an ambitious bitch and she is simply there for the power ride

she reminds me a lot of GW Bush, another intellectual fraud and a "faux republican" who did it to please his father power ego

those 2 characters lack of vision and integrity makes them very dangerous leaders IMO,

They are all "faux" representatives of the people.

Do you not see it as a coincidence that the bush family had 5 terms in office (Daddy Bush had 2 terms with Ronnie as his front man, and one on his own and baby Bush two for himself) and now Clan Clinton gets to up their total? Will Mrs Obama be next? Bush's brother?

Well, one can only hope for a Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz as a change for the better.

I think US politics needs some transformational leadership to regain it's effectiveness. It has become a partisan quagmire, everything bogged down- even things as routine as civil service appointments. Senate = fillibuster, it is used routinely now. Currently, the US government is horsing around with it's third 'fiscal cliff' in as many years. No substantive legislation can pass through the houses of congress without being tampered with and diluted, to cater to special interests. Lobbyists throw unprecedented amounts of money at politics, and for good reason. It has become abundantly clear that, faced with an unrelentingly obstructionist 'party of no' type opposition, Congress is easily rendered dysfunctional. Some real changes need to be made.

Is Hillary that person? No way- quite the opposite imo. She's the bureaucrats choice. I'm quietly hoping the public gets bored of her, and someone more transformational steps up, who can and will, when required, bypass the mechanisms of the Beltway and get his/her commonsense proposals and vision directly to the public. Obama talks the talk, but amerka needs a bigger version with balls. Michelle? :mid:

That is not a resounding endorsement by a long shot. The only reason for those numbers is her name's been out there longer.

we can all hope that she will die by shoking from Bill huge cock,

unlikely to happen though, she would bite it off

she'll be 68 in 2016....a bit old after the recent trend of her husband, GWB and obama.

we'll probably know in about 18 months whether or not she's going to throw her hat in the ring.

btw, a SCOTUS appointment is another distinct possibility for her.

Indeed. Age about right. Ginsburg is 80. Will Hillary replace her?

kennedy and scalia are both 76.

4 years is a long time.

According to this paper by Ross M. Stolzenberg of the University of Illinois and James Lindgren of Nortwestern University Law School, the odds of a justice dying in office is slightly more than 5% per year, increasing steadily as justice age past 70. About 45% of all Supreme Court justices have died in office, while 47% retired.

Ever wondered how these vastly rich and influential people always seem to live so long in full health? It's not unusual to have them working in their 80s. Kissinger is 90 in a handful of weeks, and he is still hanging about the corridors of power. How do they do it?

rub :)

Wisconsin voters would pick Hillary Clinton over their state’s own Scott Walker or Paul Ryan for president in 2016, according to PPP’s latest Wisconsin poll.

Clinton leads Ryan 51% to 43%, Walker 54% to 41% and Marco Rubio 52% to 38%. She has a formidable +19 favorability rating, with 56% of voters holding a favorable opinion to 37% unfavorable. Clinton’s strong numbers stem from her popularity with moderates (71/20) and independent voters (58/34). Ryan’s favorability is evenly split at 46%.

In the GOP primary, Ryan leads with 35% support without Walker included, and Walker leads with 33% support without Ryan in the mix. In both cases Rubio is a close second (27% against Walker, 22% against Ryan) and Chris Christie is a distant third at 10%.

Clinton would beat Walker, Ryan in Wisconsin in 2016

tell me you republican/tea party butt lickers,.........how's that dirt tasting :)

Hillary Clinton would defeat three potential Republican presidential candidates if the 2016 presidential election were held today, with New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie second in a field of three Democrats and three Republicans selected by Quinnipiac University for a national poll released today.

Vice President Joseph Biden and New York's Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo would not fare nearly as well, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.

The Republicans tested also include Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

Former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State Clinton wins easily against any of the Republicans, topping Christie 45 - 37 percent; leading Rubio 50 - 34 percent and besting Ryan 50 - 38 percent.

The GOP is outa touch

By an 88 - 10 percent margin, including 85 - 13 percent among voters in households with guns, American voters support background checks for all gun buyers. Voters also support 54 - 41 percent a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons and back 54 - 42 percent a nationwide ban on the sale of ammunition magazines with more than 10 rounds.

But but it's not going to happen for 3 more years. Nice newsy info but until the eve of election day opinions will change. Not to say polls won't indicate she will win by even a greater margin on election eve.

Got that, but I still think it’ll be nice poking my finger in every Republicans eye for the next few years with updates on the GOP top tier contenders and how awful the American people see them and their prehistoric views.

I just don’t know why anyone would actually pay to run a poll with Rubio or Bush in them but they continue and it’s the same results. Rubio sucks and Bush is a Bush.

Poll: Hillary Clinton tops native sons Rubio, Bush in Florida - From Quinnipiac, March 21 release

As speculation continues about Hillary Clinton's 2016 ambitions, another poll released today showcases the former secretary of state's electoral strength - according to Quinnipiac, Clinton would beat both Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., in a head-to-head matchup in their home state of Florida.

In a race between Clinton and Bush, Clinton would receive 51 percent of the vote to Bush's 40 percent. She edges Rubio by a slightly larger margin, 52 to 41 percent.

Clinton's favorability rating among Florida voters also far outpaces the two Sunshine State Republicans. She is viewed favorably by 62 percent of voters, unfavorably by 33 percent - a 29 point net favorability rating.

I see it the same way. This is a "speculation" poll.

Why is Rubio considered? Oh, the young "latino" who is crafting his image and message. And yes, a Jeb is....a Bush. I think two is enough. Jeb would have been far better than his dirilect brother George, but that is a moot point.

Clinton has the strength.

Time flies. Next election is 3 years and 8 months away. That is not a long time, really.

Super PAC preparing for Clinton candidacy beefs up fund-raising wing

The group's name says it all: The "Ready For Hillary PAC" is increasingly its readiness for a possible future presidential bid from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

A source familiar with the group's fund-raising plans told CNN on Sunday that the group has brought on board a national finance director and is assembling a team of regional fund-raising leaders.

Matt Felan, the deputy national finance director on Clinton's 2008 presidential bid, will lead the group's fund-raising. The regional fund-raisers will have ties to past top donors to Clinton, the source said.

"Few people understand the Clinton donor network better than Matt," the source said. "He is making calls and has received widespread positive response. Checks are starting to come in the door. Money shouldn't be a problem."

The source added that several bundlers who aided Clinton in 2008 had already donated to this super PAC. Bundlers pull together individual donations to bring in the huge sums campaigns need.

Clinton's 2008 campaign raised $220 million in donations, according to Federal Election Commission records.

A series of polls conducted this month, including a national one and several state-level polls, found Clinton (way) ahead of other potential presidential candidates.

She has largely stayed out of the spotlight since stepping down from her State Department post in early February, though she has released a video announcing her support for same-sex marriage and will speak this week at the annual Women in the World Summit in New York.

Ready For Hillary

https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...6069/ready.JPG

Health issues? If she were in an iron lung she'd win. I love how Barbaro over-states the obvious and then writes, IMO. If you jump off a building you'll fall to the ground, IMO.

Hillary Clinton is viewed favorably by nearly two-thirds of Americans, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday (April 23, 2013), making her more popular than President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden or her successor as secretary of state, John Kerry.

The poll found that 64 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of Clinton, compared to 55 percent for Obama, 45 percent for Biden and 44 percent for Kerry.

Clinton also earned a near-unanimous 91 percent favorability rating among Democrats and those who lean Democratic. Biden -- who, like Clinton, is considered a possible presidential candidate in 2016 -- had a relatively less rosy 76 percent favorability rating among those groups.

As with other polls showing Clinton with an early 2016 advantage, there are caveats. She owes some of her popularity to spending the past few years in a relatively nonpartisan job. Unlike Biden or Kerry, she's also a household name for virtually all Americans.

Hillary Clinton Is Still Popular, More So Than Obama, Biden

Paul rising in New Hampshire

PPP's new poll of New Hampshire Republicans about 2016 finds momentum on Rand Paul's side. He leads the potential field with 28% to 25% for Marco Rubio, 14% for Chris Christie, 7% for Jeb I'm another asshole Bush and Paul Ryan, 4% for Rick Santorum, 3% for Susana Martinez, and 1% each for Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal.

snip

Clinton's so strong in New Hampshire that early indications are she could take it off the board as a swing state in the general election if she runs. She leads Paul 52/41 and Rubio 52/38 in hypothetical match ups, holding a double digit lead with independents and getting double digit support from Republicans in both potential match ups.

President Hillary Clinton

Well, it looks like 'ol Piano Legs is in a spot of hot water. Recall how she promoted the story it was that internet video which set off the embassy invasion in Benghazie?

Pres Obama & Hillary Clinton Honor Ambassador Chris Stevens & The Libya Attack Victims - YouTube

Hilary pushed the fraudulent video narrative while standing over the caskets of Ambassador Stevens and the other three murdered Americans. What a class act, eh?

The class act is that the American media gave it yet another pass.

They had too much invested in Bath House Barry & Piano Legs to give up on them at that time.

Things will change. Soon they will be turning on Obama/Clinton only to try & salvage the mid term elections for the Democrats.
Look to the day when Chris Matthews stops drooling. It will be real Schandenfreude. :bananaman:

The GOP War on Hillary Clinton Begins Anew | Elections

For several years while Hillary Clinton was merely a government official it seems like the decades long Republican war against her had ended, but it was only lying dormant. For a while the GOP had a much bigger and juicier target in Barack Obama. Clinton was treated with a combination of political neglect or even respect.

Now that Republicans see attacking a lame duck provides only diminishing political returns they have once again set their sights squarely on Clinton. Yesterday’s Benghazi hearing was all about trying to tie blame to Clinton, as this new ad by American Crossroads makes clear.

American Crossroads: Benghazi - YouTube

With Clinton currently holding very strong poll numbers the Republican Party seems to have decided their best hope against her is to tear her down as early as possible. Don’t be surprised if this is the start of a three-year long operation.

Heh...you can run but you cannot hide. More revelations re Piano Legs and what a dishonest piece of work she is:

Jerry Zeifman supervised young Hillary when she was a staffer on the committee devoted to bringing down Nixon for Watergate. The lifelong Democrat fired her and refused to give her a letter of recommendation. A piece from 2008 tells us why:

“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said… “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

Well, we're known that from the get-go. Travel-gate, Whitewater etc. It's a well-known pattern of dishonesty.

Now its "old piano legs" in every post about Clinton. Shows what a little, juvenile sexist, weasel you are.
What are your names for Obama again? "Alabama porch monkey, Chicago Jesus, Obummer... anything else?

Heh...try and deflect/dodge the issue(s) again we see. And yet more name calling too! (getting emotional again there Humbert)

Anything to add to this piece from 2008 that tells us why Clinton is Untrustworthy?

Take your time - we're sure it's all a product of the VRWC, eh?

VRWC - Vast Right Wing Conspiracy :rofl:

Why was she fired?

Why? "Because she was a liar," Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.'

^The Clinton's are LOVED by the American public. It's no wonder the rethugs are up to their usual name calling and dirty tricks. She will, in all liklihood be the next POTUS.

and THAT is what all this phony benghazi outrage is all about. the republicans know they have no chance against clinton in '16 so they're trying to keep her out of the race by holding hearing after hearing.

but IMO they're way too early ...people will long forget about this 3 years from now. of course they'll try to bring it back up in late 2015, but there's no way benghazi is going to stick to her....even if she had shot the ambassador herself, someone down the state dept. ladder would take the fall for clinton.

this is good for one thing only...firing up the base. and if there's one thing we learned in '12, it's that the republican base can't win a national election....there's not nearly enough poorly educated, geriatric white males to push a republican candidate over the top. women, blacks, hispanics, asians, the young...all these groups are going to vote for clinton in droves.

and i also think they're going after the wrong woman...she's been through a lot over the years, and one thing she doesn't do is quit.

i'm not in the habit of making political projections 3 years out (in fact, i've chastened others for doing the same), but in this particular case, it's different because of demographics....if she runs, she'll win.
