"Don't call her 'Hillary!!!!'"

[12AX7]

I'm gonna go ahead and make a prediction.

Barring any serious health issues, unless conservatives can put up a candidate that genuinely isn't nuts, Hillary Clinton will be the next POTUS.

I'll gladly revisit this post and eat crow if I have to when the time comes.

In your opinion, are any of the Republicans who have currently announced genuinely not nuts?

I really don't think so.

Maybe Republicans trot out the Cruzes and Pauls early-on so whoever comes later looks great by comparison.

Cruz and Paul ain't it.

Who do you feel would be a great (R) nominee?

It is not that risky of a prediction. The majority of UK bookies are offering even money that Hillary Clinton will be the next POTUS and they didn't even add the no-nuts clause.

Technically, they trotted themselves out.
On the other hand, If the RNC could control each candidate's announcement date, it would make for fascinating behind-the-scenes debate.

No, not any currently announced. But I really thought Mitt would have won last time if he hadn't had to release his inner crazy to get the nomination. I may not have agreed with all of them, but generally speaking, before he got into the nomination process, his politics did not embrace crazy.

I'm not even sure who has announced yet, but I think either Scott Walker or Jeb Bush would be competitive. Of course everybody has flaws:

Ted Cruz - too divisive and arrogant
Rand Paul - too libertarian
Chris Christie - not libertarian enough; also too arrogant
Jeb Bush - too bushy; also not libertarian enough
Scott Walker - too blah

That's not only how I see those guys, but also probably how the swing voters will see them.

I doubt swing voters care about libertarian levels.

You realize when you say "not libertarian enough" you are alienating the Republican base, social conservatives.

The Republican base is their own worst enemy. To them, the "no compromise" mantra applies within the party as well as with the other side.

Hillary is like a song on an oldies station you've heard so many times that you change the station after hearing a few bars.

Anyway, here are Hillary's Greatest Hits, NSFW for her potty mouth.

I am unsure what you point is. You have documented that she swears a great deal. how is that a factor in determining ones qualifications for the presidency?

Yep. In order to win the nomination, a Republican today has to at least pretend to be nuts thus making it harder to win the general election. Of course, the base can't see this reality and instead think that they lost to Obama because McCain and Romney weren't True Conservatives.^TC They'll say the same thing if they nominate a "moderate" like Jeb Bush and Hillary wins.

 

[Wolrab]

Right fight, wrong battle. If there were no President Bill Clinton, no one would be calling her Hillary.

Fixed that for you!
Wow...no one picked up on this?

The targets of most of her nasty diatribes are State Troopers and her Secret Service bodyguards. You know, the poor saps who will take a bullet for her but don't deserve common courtesy.

But she eats Chipolte, just like the regular people!

Sure, she has not driven a car since 1988, but she's regular and folksy.

LOL, that list is recycled from the last time Republicans were desperate to keep her from becoming President. And in typical Republican fashion, they had to distort the truth to make their case. And laughably, even then lots of them don't even make her look bad. For example, it is simply the truth that Republicans are low life scumbags who were willing to do anything to destroy the President of the United States for the crime of being a Democrat. They did it to her husband, to her former boss, and they will do it to her as well. But unlike them, she'll know what to expect going in.

Origins: Attempting to assign any kind of status to this 2007
collection of purported quotes by Hillary Rodham Clinton poses something of a problem. All of them have appeared in print as things the former first lady and current U.S. senator from New York supposedly said (although some of them are missourced in the example reproduced above), but they are stripped of explanatory context (and/or accompanied by misleading explanations), and they range from scripted public statements to spontaneous private utterances, from reports by mainstream journalists to revelations by unnamed or anonymous sources to mere hearsay repetition of rumor.

I always believed that they did it to "humanize" her, because the overwhelming public perception is that she feeds on the blood of virgins

Where would she find any left? - I am pretty darn sure republickers used them all up in their Satan worship/Black Masses.

Yet they keep pretending they are the cult of fair and honest - when they are simply lying, vicious, people who aren't them hating (sorry, but I can't be fully accurate and complete - my fingers are too tired already.........) log jams/bumps.
