Thread: 2016 Democratic US Presidential Candidates

^^That's a fascinating article. Someone sent it to me about an hour ago. If the assumptions are correct by and large, and if her health holds (which I think is a big IF), she is looking very strong.

OK, but what has she accomplished?

Unfortunately, that's not the point. The same bleating flocks that brought Obama in based on nothing other than his being a half-black guy who could shout "Change" over and over will bring her in based on name recognition, the fact that there are no other viable candidates, and the fact she is allegedly female. If you read the article, it makes some very good points - not on why she SHOULD be elected, but on why she WILL be.

That, and the fact that Blowjob Bill has somehow gone from being a lying, duplicitous, total piece of shit to being a revered elder statesman. I just don't get America anymore.

She´s got the party machine and the private big money donors. The other top Dems won´t run if she does.

I think this says it all.

And as you note, it is up to her health.

Honest question that keeps getting ignored.

What has she done on her own accord?

"Hillary has never been a great politician, given a moving speech, or had a compelling message. Pretty much her only qualifications are 1) that she's married to Bill Clinton and 2) hated by the Right."

Same honest answer from me. It doesn't matter. The media decided you folks needed a sort-of-black President, so you got one (and oh how well that's worked out). The media will now decide it's time for a sort-of-female President, and you'll get Billary. The Republicans have nobody. The media will decide (and has got the flock pretty well prepped already). Voters will bleat, and Bingo - eight years of Billary - which is what they deserve.

That's not entirely accurate depending on your POV.

Any one of the following would be preferable to Billary:

Ted Cruz
Paul Ryan
Rick Perry
Bobby Jindal

And you want a Black Woman President?

Condi Rice.

Rice is an educator - not a President - and has no interest. None of the four above have Billary's name recognition - I doubt if 5/100 sheep could identify a photo of even one of them. I think possibly I could pick out Ryan.

Why not go again for SARAH PALIN ?????
She has a great record on top of it.
Politician, commentator and author who served as Governor of Alaska,
what more do you want?
And she has of course the name recognition you are looking for.
Let's all vote for SARAH PALIN !!!!!
There used to be a time that several members of this forum adored she.... but perhaps did they changed their opinions by now.
PALIN, PALIN, PALIN

Jindal wouldn't even win his own state.

Second-term Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal is occasionally mentioned as a presidential contender in 2016, but he has some work to do back home first. He is deeply unpopular two years after he was re-elected over token opposition. Only 35 percent of respondents view Jindal favorably, versus 51 percent who view him unfavorably. In a hypothetical 2016 presidential matchup, respondents in our poll picked Hillary Clinton over Jindal, 44 to 42 percent.

BM with his finger on the pulse of America

Looking ahead to the 2016 presidential election, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to lead potential Republican challengers among Virginia voters, topping New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie 46 percent to 37 percent and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz 53 percent to 34 percent.

Clinton crushes Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas 53 - 34 percent. Biden tops Cruz 47 - 37 percent.
