Thread: 2016 Democratic US Presidential Candidates

Yeah, she stuck with her husband that was blown by a young intern in the White House ?, she really needs to be top dog in the free world ?
A bit more grace from the Clinton family is badly needed, please do not let her get elected.

^Typical of the attacks we are likely to see a lot of in coming months, endless months.

And don't forget the bigot La Pierre and the NRA whose member is in the mouth of every single rethug contender.

Yawwn. Are you really so prurient? Presumably you'd prefer a devout Mormon, who would never let his wife (or wives) see his naked body before God.

At least this time she does not need to shout: "Shame on you, Obama".

Or who are the ones this time who should be ashamed?

Brooklyn Hit With Anti-Hillary Street Art

A source sends along these photos from Brooklyn today of anti-Hillary Clinton signs everywhere. Clinton is expected to announce her presidential campaign later today. The campaign's headquarters are located in Brooklyn.

The signs appear to be a riff on a group of supporters calling certain words often used to describe Clinton as sexist. Words such as 'secretive,' 'ambitious,' and 'entitled.'

The signs are posted near Hillary's campaign headquarters.

Media Matters: Contested Primary Would Be Bad for Hillary

Pro-Clinton group makes the case for 'historic' coronation


Hillary Clinton fansite Media Matters doesn’t want its preferred candidate to have a primary challenger

Hillary Clinton’s race for the White House might be historic in more than ways than one,” writes senior Hillary Clinton fan Eric Boehlert. “Not only would a successful presidential campaign usher in a new era of a female president, but if Clinton ends up running unopposed during the Democratic primary season it would represent a modern-day first for a non-incumbent or a non-sitting vice president.”

Boehlert leaves out the fact that Clinton could also become one of the oldest world leaders in history, which would be significantly more impressive that being the first modern president to win her party’s nomination without a primary challenge.

A contested primary, Boehlert argues, would hurt Clinton in the same way it hurt Al Gore in 2000. You know, because of the media’s bias toward Democrats. Not because Gore was (and Clinton is) a bland, awkward candidate who didn’t (and doesn’t) perform well under pressure.

Media Matters would clearly prefer that Clinton be coronated as the Democratic nominee in “historic” fashion, given its ties to Clinton fanboy and perennial drama queen David Brock, who gets paid a lot of money to professionally adore Hillary Clinton.

This palpable panic is a great sign for Democrats who want a viable alternative to Clinton. Listen closely, Americans. Hear that freight train coming round the bend."

Branding and entitlement. With utterly no qualifications for the job this woman feels she's entitled. The arrogance is astounding.

BTW, the fruits are already crawling out of the woodwork:

I'll leave that one up to you, man...

I'm not sure how high Secretary of State is in the governmental hieratchy- but it's one of the highest positions. Higher, say, than a State Governor or a Senator from Illinois- these being the last two Potus.

But booner says 'unqualified'.

Heh...OK, I'll bite. What did she accomplish as Secretary of State?
Zip
Nada
Zero

But she did advance Obama's terrific foreign policy that now has the entire ME in an uproar so we guess she's accomplished that.

yeah, because he inherited such a haven of tranquility from his predecessor right?

Nice try but no cee-gar.

Libya.
Yemen
Egypt etc all belong to Clinton & Obama

Looking out for number one...Quite a pair inn'it?

All non starters. They are not US wars. The greatest foreign policy blunder in modern American history was invading Iraq under false pretenses. None of the rest of these dominoes fall without that misguided war.

They are not US wars, they are peacekeeping missions (under command of Nobel Peace Prize Winner).

Even wikipedia says that:
US personnel are seeing active combat in Afghanistan. Others are deployed as part of several peacekeeping missions, military attachés, or are part of embassy and consulate security.
United States military deployments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Even Ron Paul said it:

Ron Paul says U.S. has military personnel in 130 nations and 900 overseas bases | PolitiFact

And all of these are there on invitation of the local government.

I have read some people describe Mrs. Clinton as a climate hawk. I have yet to see it, although I do believe she is a believer. With Mrs. Clinton surrounding herself with people like Mr. Podesta; the chairman of her 2016 presidential campaign, I do hope they will influence/encourage her to act more on the subject.

We’ll see when Mrs. Clinton starts laying out her policies leading up to her inauguration.

8 Reasons Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Will Be A Trainwreck

1. Reporters Will Never Ask Hard Questions About Hillary’s Record

Yesterday a New York Times political reporter wondered why only Hillary was being pressed by the press to answer why she wants to be president.

2. Everyone’s Weary of the Clintons

Remember Hillary Clinton’s “I don’t feel no ways tired?” speech? Does it exhaust you as much as it does everyone else? Does this level of phoniness seem somehow even worse than the general levels of phoniness endemic to the politician subculture? It is! Hillary Clinton’s skill set does not include pandering with even mild convincingness.

3. She ain’t no ways Barack Obama

Hillary Clinton is definitely going to wrap up the older, single female demographic. Baby boomer females who are also liberal love her. No question about this. But unlike President Barack Obama, who can get any number of constituencies to behave like teenagers at a One Direction concert. Hillary’s appeal to other key Democratic demographics such as Hispanics, millennials and even progressive activists is in question.

4. No accomplishments

Name Hillary Clinton’s top three accomplishments. No, being born a female does not count.


5. She’s an epic liar

From the time she “found” subpoenaed documents two years after the fact in a White House closet to the time she found herself under sniper fire in Bosnia (in a Brian Williams sense) claimed she set up her own private server and then deleted all evidence from it for the sake of convenience, rhetorical prestidigitation is her game.

6. She doesn’t have her husband’s likeability or political gifts.

Say what you want about Bill, the man had raw political talent. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, couldn’t stave off a challenge from a junior senator in 2008 even with all of her money, resources and support in Washington.

7. She hasn’t won a single tough election

Speaking of her lack of political gifts, the woman has only run for office three times before this. The first time she ran was for the Senate seat from New York in 2000. Rudy Guiliani was supposed to be her opponent but his personal life was such a disaster that he had to withdraw. He was replaced by a moderate Congressman named Rick Lazio who was so lackluster he couldn’t even win much of upstate New York. The second time, was for her 2006 reelection when the Republicans were unable to field anyone with name recognition to run against her. The 2008 race for the Democratic nomination was tough and she didn’t win it. But even when it wasn’t tough she fared poorly. I mean, she lost to John Edwards in Iowa. John Edwards.

8. Get ready for a frequent emphasis on victim status.

Hillary Clinton likes to paint herself as the victim. When her husband was embroiled in a scandal involving lying in a sexual harassment suit, she developed a theory about a “vast right-wing conspiracy” that sought to undermine him. As much as we all love good conspiracy theories, this one failed to explain how, exactly, the aforementioned group had tricked the president into lying under oath.

Sometimes, however, claiming victim status works well for her. When she cried during a campaign stop in New Hampshire in 2008, Clinton briefly turned around her political prospects there. The (new) New Republic noted that “Americans love her when she is vulnerable and scrappy and loathe her when she is powerful and coasting.”

Get ready for lots of vulnerable Hillary and downplaying of dynasty Hillary."
