I laughed out loud at this.
I suspect with so many better-known names in the race that he won't run, particularly since he's now been out of office for nearly a decade and the voters retired him rather than him quitting.
Love Her Or Hate Her, Hillary Has A Major Problem -- And So Do Lots Of Others

I believe, and this totally my opinion, Bush, Paul or Rubio are the only Republican candidates that have a chance against her and that is slim at best.
Deflect, lie, deceive and remain silent until most idiots in America forget or never knew at all. That's their calling card. People do have a tendency to have very very short memories. My memory is a lengthy one.
Most young Americans are uneducated. They are more concerned with the latest rock stars or movie stars or drugs or certain beverages or SEX. Ask them about the history of our country or anything about current political events or who's in office and they could not tell you. They don't have a clue and that is sad, so sad especially because people have shed their crimson blood defending the freedoms that we have.
I don't think FOXNews hates Hillary, they just try to hold her, et al accountable for their actions.
I thought the purpose of the news media: print/TV was to hold public officials accountable, but all other media sources seem to be brown nosers. You play with stink and you are going to get some on you, maybe lots of it.
Her credibility? What credibility? I don't trust anyone in that household. Seems they are all POWER Hungry!
We need media to hold ALL public officials accountable, no matter what party they represent. That really no longer exists in our country. If a Republican had done what she's done: her e-mail situation, etc. they would be burned at the stake.
If the Progressive media is trying to bring her down, they need to do a much, much better job. They're just going through the motions for a while. I'm sure they could easily fall in love with Senator Elizabeth Warren because she's supposedly farther to the left than Hillary. I don't think either one gives a rats behind about our country, they just want personal POWER!
I'd rather have the apocalypse upon us than to have her as the President of the country that I dearly love.
If it's not upon us, then I'd like to see some honesty and integrity in our public officials. We don't need CHARACTERS, we need people who possess CHARACTER!
That is a problem, because the Republicans haven't really focused their attention on her yet. It's been mainly the press (I can't believe I just wrote those words).
Thing is, the Republicans have a 20-year history of circling up to form a firing squad.
Hillary is trying to give this thing away. We'll see if the Republicans take advantage of that, or once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Therein lies the problem. The Republicans haven't focused their attention on her because they have and will continue fighting each other to select a candidate until convention time next summer. Hillary can spend the next year campaigning and attacking the Republicans because she doesn't have to worry about any real challenge within her party. It won't take long before the media turns on the 10-12 Republican prospects and takes the pressure off Clinton.
Unfortunately, this is spot-on accurate. If you'll look over the post-1968 period (well, starting that year actually), if one candidate has no competitive primary and the other does then ALMOST ALWAYS the one who had no primary wins the election. This is because the competitive primary usually leaves the survivor bruised and bloodied and exposed.
1972 - Nixon no primary, McGovern not nominated until Convention
1976 - Carter had primaries but not overly competitive after March, Ford nominated at Convention
1980 - competitive primaries on both sides, GOP settled earlier
1984 - Reagan no primary, Mondale nominated at Convention
1988 - Bush had relatively uncompetitive primary, Dukakis didn't clinch until June 7th with CA and NJ
1992 - Bush had uncompetitive primary (but bloodied by Buchanan), Clinton had slightly more competitive one
1996 - Clinton no primary, Dole a long primary season
2000 - Neither primary overly competitive after New Hampshire
2004 - Bush no primary, Kerry a hard grind at first and then cruised
2008 - both had bruising primary fights
2012 - Obama no primary, Romney the last man standing
The only real "exception to the rule" was Clinton in 1992, and he no doubt benefited from Buchanan exposing that Bush was not overly popular among the Republican base. (He also benefited from some of the most shameless media bias I've ever seen in my life but let's not take away the fact Clinton was probably the best CANDIDATE as far as looking like a guy running for President and knowing what to do - and Bush Sr, while in my view a pretty decent President and guy, was a terrible candidate).
This is part of why Hillary has a solid advantage. And while Obama is certainly too far left for my mind, I've never despised him (he's an empty suit but a likable one). I absolutely loathe Hillary and make no bones about it.
I agree that Clinton was the exception. Disagree on the reason. Bush I wins in a runaway if Perot doesn't insist on tilting at windmills. Perot cost Bush a lot; Clinton almost nothing.
Even with the Perot sideshow, Clinton still got only 43% of the vote.
No win over Bush in '92, no Hillary today. Ross Perot got way more influence over a generation than he ever thought he would. Just not the right-tilting kind he expected.
I don't think there is any question that Perot led to 41's re-election loss. You can count on the Republicans efforts to reclaim the WH to be derailed by Tea Partyers.
Perot definitely cost Bust the 92 election. Nader probably cost Gore the 200 election as well. The Tea Party just needs to go away, they are causing more harm than good. I am starting to think they are manufactured by the Dems.
