Not to mention the majority of them don't follow politics enough to know or care why there might or might not be a problem here. Hillary will win or lose based on how good a job her campaign people get her out in front of the public. There are no viable Democratic primary challengers and the entire Republican field is a joke.<br /><br />Drink a glass of water, take a chill pill and relax.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-39637898963030220592015-03-06T19:19:43.166-05:002015-03-06T19:19:43.166-05:00Yawn.

However the more I think about it the more of a problem I see. Hillary (or any dem nominee) is going to need the support of the Obama coalition of young people, minorities and academics. Hillary spent the entire 08 campaign disrespecting and insulting these voters. Joining the administration should have put all that in the past. However if the whole time she was supposedly working for the president she was actually running her own show, avoiding oversight from the administration so she could protect her own interests that again raises troubling questions. As a primary voter, can I trust that she actually respects or has any loyalty for the Democratic Party or the president? Or does she still have contempt for the voters who supported the president? If so, how does she plan to win their votes?Moon Mulliganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835095906683454272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-9305594106524756682015-03-06T13:15:17.975-05:002015-03-06T13:15:17.975-05:00Oh fergawdssake, just as Mailgate is fading from t...Oh fergawdssake, just as Mailgate is fading from the Media as the big nothingburger that is, you decide that Hillary is finished?<br />Thank God, she's made of sterner stuff.Sweet Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356702664203685197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-1420267089056102782015-03-06T11:46:09.050-05:002015-03-06T11:46:09.050-05:00Oh, and Frank you have it exactly right.

It's a complete unforced error and shows not only her rejection of transparency in an official capacity, but also her refusal to recognize the problem, and her insularity. Remember the 2008 Hillary primary campaign? Want to do that again?<br /><br />Why are all the supposed potential alternatives to Hillary in their sixties or above (Biden, Sanders, Warren)? Some of the "young blood" in the Republican party are idiots and ideologues, but as far as I can see the Democratic party doesn't even have any visible young blood. Time to figure out who might be alternatives and start promoting them. Bill Clinton emerged as an almost-unknown, and Obama did also.<br /><br />If Hillary is the candidate I would vote for her, but I wouldn't donate money or do any outreach on her behalf. The enthusiasm level for a lot of people would be nonexistent.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179716163946175084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-81891552116382338082015-03-06T10:51:08.616-05:002015-03-06T10:51:08.616-05:00We better do something or it's going to be Pre...We better do something or it's going to be President Scott Walker~ just fucking shoot me now!ladyblughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585823633211190187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-65769600525786948682015-03-06T10:12:06.578-05:002015-03-06T10:12:06.578-05:00Celebrity isn't the issue.

Obama wasn't that much of a celebrity before running (OK, he gave a good speech once). Nor was Bill Clinton. But Kerry, Dukakis and Gore were incredibly indecisive and inarticulate (Why Gore became articulate after losing is beyond me.) And Howard Dean was taken down by a scream, but that was in a primary when like-minded people decided wrongly that Kerry would be a better general election candidate and accomplish the same things as Dean. I would argue that the media made Kerry the candidate and it tore him down, in large part by not fact checking. They will do the same to Hillary. Obama's scandals were limited to nonsense like pot smoking and occasionally going to a church with a crazy pastor.Danphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368147966029831819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-30278621046899499272015-03-06T09:40:57.528-05:002015-03-06T09:40:57.528-05:00I don't see a plan B and I DO see publicists w...I don't see a plan B and I DO see publicists working for Biden or others joining the right in attacking Hillary.<br /><br />And I think you are correct in supposing no one else can be reasonably confident of winning the general election.Philo Vaihingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150326435392881297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-50785718209504373642015-03-06T09:24:52.761-05:002015-03-06T09:24:52.761-05:00E-mail issues?
