Is Hillary A Lock?

I also think GreatDanish has a point about Hillary's style or the lack thereof. Neither her personality nor her appearance is attractive in any way in my opinion.
Agreed. If the Presidential elections were a beauty contest (and in many ways they are), she couldn't charm her way through the back door.
Agreed. Right now, the perception of her inevitability comes from non-Fox talking heads who have callused knees from kneeling in worship. It's fast wearing thin, even among Dems.
I also thought the deafening silence from other Democrats regarding the email thing and accepting (soliciting?) donations from foreign governments to the Clinton Foundation while she was SoS.
The only defenders I heard were from her own paid staff. Not a peep of defense on either problem from the usual Pelosi / Holder / Reid / Boxer chorus.
Not even a peep from her husband, though that might be because it would have drug up comparisons to his own ethical struggles, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.
The Dems' problem is that there's no alternative with national name recognition. Closest would be Elizabeth Warren, and she's so far left she makes Obama seem downright Reagan-esque.
She'd be the heir-apparent to the mantle of media darling, but her statements would come back to haunt her, her positions would wear thin, and I just don't think she's electable at the national level.
The country has grown tired of the Bush family in the White House, and I don't see Jeb getting there.
I think Scott Walker has a legitimate shot. Republican governor in a deep blue state, survived one (two?) hugely publicized recall votes where the Dems and unions pulled out all the stops to unseat him, and won by a margin that surprised the talking heads. No way to say he won because of low turnout. It was an embarrassment for the opponents.
I agree. Of the possible primary candidates right now, I think Warren is the only one who could give her a serious challenge.
There are a lot of things Hillary is waiting...hoping will blow over. Bill and Epstein...Sniper Fire and the Brian Williams similarities...now e-mail gate. She's conspicuously quiet except for her recent tweet saying she wants us to see her e-mail (uh...the server is in your personal residence).
What is more puzzling is that a few players in the Obama State Media seemingly have the knives out for her. Maybe the strategy is to get all the skeletons out of the closet now so they won't have to be dealt with after she announces as a candidate.
Or maybe there's a greater force at work as an ally to the media that's in full force to torpedo her candidacy.

I understand the appearance factor. A good deal of votes in 2012, however, came from individuals who never watched the debates, didn't know the issues at hand, and were not familiar with the political acumen of the presidential candidates. They were just picked up and driven to the polls in a massive ground game organization (particularly in swing states like my own, Ohio). It was impressive and IMO played a significant role.
I don't think she's a lock for the Dem. nomination, no. She would win if the primaries were held today, but there is a ton of time between now and then. The debates will be telling as to who on the democratic side will try to publicly attack her record and how far he/she will go to bring Hillary down.
I just wonder where were these same people at when obama ran for president. It didn't seem like nobody investigated him like clinton is. Maybe its because its a woman instead of a man.
Except for Warren I have not even heard another Democrat candidate mentioned. If those are the only two then the DNC is in deep dodo.
Yup..I found this funny Hillary gif a while back & it pretty much verifies your post VJ..LOL..

I thought that our Crazy Uncle Joe might run?!. However, he has NEVER been a community organizer, so he may not really be qualified. Crazy Joe probably should be in Bryce Hospital. Bring back the electric shock treatment to help cure what he's diagnosed with.

Is Hillary a lock? Could be.

My whole family is a bunch of wild-eyed libs. I know....how was I the sane one with true intelligence and the ability to think for and rely on myself , but it happened. They all HATE the thought of Clinton being forced upon them. Something just tells me she will not ever run for president.
Here is some more anecdotal evidence and it is starting to pile up.
NOTE Was going to post the link but it has since crashed, but Martin O'Malley received a thunderous standing ovation from SC Dems over the weekend and many attendees expressed their total dissatisfaction at the Hillary nomination already being decided. Just food for thought. I just want the train wreck to be entertaining and that is virtually assured on the Republican side.

Jeb Bush is polling #1 among the GOP contenders. Not sure either party is really looking good right now. I suspect neither Clinton nor Bush get the nomination, though. If so, Gary Johnson might get more than 1% of the vote this time.
