Since she left the SecState position she has been crowned as the next Dem nominee for the presidency……..everyone is crowning her with the exception of FOX and few thinking people could give a sh*t what FOX reports……and then there are those that have stepped up on the Left to challenge her, like Bernie and Chafee.

People like Bernie but pretty much dismiss him outright…..the problem there is that his issues are right on point with the thinking of most American….hard to say if that will translate into a victory but it will make debate on fiscal issue so much better.

Then there is Lincoln Chafee…..since his announcement most people have been snickering under their breath at the thought of him taking on Clinton.  Personally, I think they are wrong.  No, he will not be the Dem nominee but he will make her life a misery as long as he can especially on her vote for the original Iraq invasion……..

In the vote to authorize the Iraq war, precisely one Republican senator came out against it. His name was Lincoln Chafee, now a Democrat running for president, and that vote is why he “could prove Hillary’s most intriguing challenger,” writes Peter Beinart at the Atlantic. Beinart doesn’t think Chafee has a prayer at winning the nomination, but Chafee will go after Clinton with the argument that anyone who voted for the war—as she did—doesn’t deserve to be president because of the mess it has unleashed.

“He will talk about the collapse of Iraq and the rise of ISIS in a way she can’t,” writes Beinart. This may not be a problem for Clinton in the primary because national security isn’t a big issue for Democratic voters in this election. But it is for Republicans, who blame the Obama administration for bungling the war’s aftermath. For Clinton, “if there’s one policy question that could prove dangerous, it’s Iraq,” writes Beinart. “On that subject, Lincoln Chafee is the canary in the coal mine. If Hillary can’t find an effective answer to his attacks, it may be a sign of trouble ahead.” Click for his full post, or to read about a more unusual campaign platform from Chafee.

God yes…..he is a super long shot……..but he has the capacity to give Hil Hell during the debates for as long as he can stay in.  And that is what I like about him and Bernie both……they will be superb debaters against Hillary’s positions and her changes on her positions.
