Default Another 4 Years of Billary Clinton too much?

So she's been shown up again it seems:

Quote:
In an interview published in The Guardian on the weekend, she seemed to deny her massive wealth, coming off more as tone-deaf plutocrat than common-touch Democrat
She insists she's not out of touch with her supposed wealth.

Probably just Republicans having a whinge, but...

Quote:
But they don’t see me as part of the problem,” Ms. Clinton replied, “because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we’ve done it through dint of hard work
SOURCE

And while we are on the talked-about subject of seeming 'out of touch', there's this:

Quote:
In a continued "Outta Touch Tirade" at a recent event Hillary Clinton in her effort to demagogue the gun violence issue equated gun owners to a minority of Americans and then went a step further to say we are "terrorists" terrorizing the Majority of Americans. In addition she still can't get her facts straight after over 20 years of public service and figure out the difference between a "Fully" automatic gun and a "Semi" automatic gun
SOURCE

Well and truly underway for her 2016 aspirations?

Politics being politics, maybe just nit-picking.

She's a politician. Nothing else to say.

She can run, but I can't see her getting anywhere near the throne, not unless the Dems particularly don't want to win the 2016 election. She's toxic goods sadly, so the hands that pull the strings will make sure she doesn't make it.

Honestly I think she's starting to loose her mind some. She's seemed off in recent interviews that i've seen.

If she's seriously considering running for president then I'd say she's already lost it.

Oh, she's running alright. There's a whole "Ready for Hillary" PAC already raising money for her. One theory I heard (which I don't buy) is that Bill will do something to sabotage her campaign because he secretly doesn't want her to be president. (some psychodrama theory about how he doesn't want her legacy to eclipse his). However, I don't foresee Hillary having Bill's intern issues.

So:
1) Will she run? Almost certainly yes; barring something really big (serious undisclosed medical issues).
2) If she funds, will she win the primary? Again, almost certainly yes. If she runs, there will be no opposition within the party. No Dem is going to challenge her.
3) If she wins the nomination will she win the election? Strange as it may seem, probably. With Chris Christie on the ropes politically, the Republican field is a bit weak. They have to find something other than Benghazi to attack her with. So far, that one has played well only to the Republican base.

Nothing has really changed in the polls over the last year or so.

Now, should Jeb Bush run and win the GOP nomination that would be weird, especially to the ears. Clinton versus Bush. Like a time warp to 1992.

The GOP didn't try hard enough to handle Palin.

A rubber room and a straitjacket come to mind,would have saved them a great deal of embarrassment.

It all depends on who the Republicans put up against her. If they continue putting up dunderheads, she can be elected. There are too many voters who find themselves not voting for a candidate but voting against a candidate.

If the GOP were to put up a truly moderate conservative, distanced from the Tea party and the religious nutters, the GOP could sweep the elections.

When will the parties realize that the majority of the people want moderation in their government? Extremists from either end are equally bad for this country in my opinion.
