Rand Paul will always look like he should be playing a carrot in an elementary school play
shouldn't that be John Boehner playing the carrot? or do you mean that (Ayn)Rand Paul is somehow more clueless than the kid playing the sunflower? He's certainly more philosophically unreliable than the kid in the turnip suit.

It will be a star-studded glamorized campaign for Mrs. Bill. She just might pull it off to win the nomination.

Elizabeth Warren For President.

We wouldn't be in this mess if Bill had kept his weiner in his pants.

TPP (which Hillary supports), flooding the American job market with a lot more illegal low wage labor (which Hillary has openly said we need a lot more of), Keystone XL (which she supports), protecting and expanding social security (which Hillary is silent on), protecting and expanding Medicare (until it's for all - and which she has long abandoned as a cause, like Barack Obama). And let's not forget about all the Walmart ties, all the oil ties, all the military contractors.

These are the real challenges facing a Democratic Party run. Not the carrot. Though the carrot could be a problem, or whatever "dark horse" the Republicans eventually push forward (as did John McCain who was nobody noteworthy at the beginning of his) ..

Hilary does seem to be the best candidate for the republicans.

If she can't win, then they get to have another looney in office wrecking everything but, at least, the war machines are oiled and billionaires have their way.

If she wins, then their is much less lunacy in charge, but still she will keep the war machines oiled and the billionaires will have their way.

It's a win-win.

@6, A little bit more of a win if Hillary gets to the presidency in that her Supreme Court pick(s) would be far far less loony and reactionary than a republican president's choice(s).

Overall, a win for the money power regardless of who wins.

And Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for president. This was never in any doubt, so the fact that it's been "leaked" that she's announcing her candidacy tomorrow isn't particularly surprising.

@10 Goddamnit, that posted before I was done snarking on it.

"And Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for president. This was never in any doubt, so the fact that it's been "leaked" that she's announcing her candidacy tomorrow isn't particularly surprising. Yeah, yeah, you're running for President, we know."

Hmmm. You would have said exactly this same thing - she's inevitable, there's no doubt - 8 years ago. We know this because many people said so - it's online if you look for it.

Some amount of humility in predictions like this would seem Warren'ted (SEE WHAT I DID THERE).

@3 Elizabeth Warren has said 1000 times that she is not running for president in 2016 and that she supports Clinton. If she were to challenge Clinton she would have had to jump in already.

@5 In your reference to John McCain, what are you talking about? Are you talking about the 2000 presidential race when McCain was the only serious primary challenger to Bush Jr? Or are you talking about 2008 when McCain was the heir apparent to Bush Jr? Either way, he was never considered "nobody noteworthy at the beginning of his" presidential run.

@8 we have always been a two party system and we always will be until we get rid of our first-past-the-post, winner-take-all plurality system. I personally like Germany's parliamentarian system best, where you vote for both person and party (that way you can support both the SPD and the Greens). However that would take a huge change to the US Constitution and it probably will not happen anytime soon. It definitely won't happen between now and November 2016.

bernie should declare and push her to the left. make her hustle for our votes a bit. maybe even appear in seattle occasionally.
15
you now only see that Jabba the Hutt-like lady just to the left of Hillary in the background
16
Hillary Clinton ain't gonna be the nominee. The election is 19 months away. If I recall, she "was" going to be the democratic nominee in January '08.
17
Eleven months of endless, mindless TV adverts before a single vote is cast in anger. Buy stock in the mega-corps that own local TV stations, they make out like bandits.

Please wait...
