I know the GOP is gearing up to fight Hillary…they seem to be convinced that she will run and eventually become the nominee….so they are firing up the propaganda machine (check post Propaganda 2.0) to get a jump on her and her hubby’s political machine.
Now some Dems are echoing the belief that Hillary will run and will have the best chance for the nomination….that is if she desires it.
I want to talk a bit about the possibility of Hillary and her run for the finish line, the presidency.
I can hear the rattlings now. I will not be a Hillary supporter and I shall pay dearly for not being a fan……..but I have a good reason for my dislike of Hillary……Bubba! I feel that Bill did more damage to America’s social programs than most Repubs have done. NAFTA screwed the American worker unmercifully…..his repeal of Glass-Steagall set up the economy for the crash in 2008…..and his attacks on entitlements will never heal…..just to mention a few of the distasteful things Bubba was champion of in his years at the helm. And all these programs are the stepchild of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), the pro business wing of the party and the bane of the American middle class.
Hillary is a member of the DLC and she will be just an extension of good old Bubba and his policies and it will put him back in the White House….a place he should be only allowed to visit, never to live there again.
The only bright spot in 2016, well two bright spots…..one will be the antics of the GOP and the array of morons that will be jockeying for leadership….it will be interesting and most likely very amusing. Two, Hillary my get a challenge to her inevitable nomination from the worker wing of the Democratic Party…….some of the challengers may be Sen. Bernie Sanders or possibly Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
A lot can change between today and the beginning of the process in 2016….new players can pop up anywhere……Left or Right……..but from where I am sitting today….these are the things I see.
It will be tough for a challenger to defeat Hillary this time around. Too many people feel she is due. But I agree with you that she is really not going to be that much different in the neo-liberal practices her husband engaged in, contributing to the demise of the middle class.
Larry, she needs to have a challenger from thge Left….but I just do not see a strong one…at least right now….
They’re all plutocrats. Hillary was on the board of Walmart for goodness sakes! The question left for voters is, unfortunately, this: how much LESS EVIL will Hilary do than the Teapublican nominee?
The old “lesser of two evils” thingy, huh?
In America today, I’m afraid that’s what it looks like from the perspective of an outside observer.
John, it looks that way here also…never liked those type of choices….
I’m not so sure about Hillary myself. Presidential dynasties haven’t worked out so well recently. We’ve still recovering from the Bush family.
Don’t look now….but there is another…..Jeb!
