Republicans Secretly Think Hillary Clinton Is Going To Crush Them In 2016

[justabubba]

ever the contrarian, i disagree this forecast
certainly, her prospects will hinge on her republican opponent
if it is another obvious loser like mccain or romney, then she is a shoo-in
but if she faces a strong GOP candidate - and there are a few on the horizon - then she will likely be in trouble
her primary assets are bill, an impressive CV, and being a female presidential candidate
hillary's liabilities include her advanced age, being without charisma, having no issue that she is positively known for, and hers and bill's legal foibles

if the republicans run a likable candidate (for a change), who also has gravitas, then hillary's campaign will be toast

old and failed.

she already lost before. she is still the same democrat that voted for the Iraq war. She offers nothing.

some zealots are hung up on her, but she does not have universal popularity. she isn't going to win a national primary, let alone a national election

She does have universal popularity. Where have yopu been?

so much so that she lost to a newcomer named Obama

She gained her universal popularity as secretry of state. And was lauded by both repubs and dems for her service. If she decides to run again she stands a really good chance of winning this time.

 

[Paschendale]

Lets see if she steps back out into the lime light with all that Screwing up she did while traveling around the World and Playing the Actress who would be SOS.

Although.....I wouldn't mind watching Mitch Daniels tear her up in any Debates.

Also I wouldn't put to much stock in what a NY GOP Strategist has to say. Tell the writer.....Grace, she needs to talk to the Real Republican Strategists before writing up an OP on what Republican Strategists are thinking.

But do let Hillary know we have the Pics of the Dead from Benghazi that will immediately go up with her famous line of. What Difference does it matter. Maybe she can shed a tear to try and keep her hopes alive.

Stay classy with those out-of-context soundbites using dead Americans for political gain. Not that it really matters. Most of the country wasn't crying out over some kind of conspiracy about Benghazi. Only the Fox News junkies were. The rest of the country knew there was a mistake, and a costly one, but weren't out to try to find some kind of malice in it.

 

[disneydude]

her echo chamber seems convinced of it, but America has never given her a national election so I find your confidence ignorant and misguided.

LOL....Okie Dokie......you are in serious denial if you actually believe any of what you wrote. There is zero chance that Hilary won't get the nomination if she runs and very little chance that she won't get the whitehouse if she wants it. There isn't a person in the GOP capable of defeating her.

Yes, you have stated you opinion several times. I disagreed stating my opinions several times.

Other democrats will run against her. It will be very easy to paint her as a bad politician. They aren’t going to play nice just because you are enamored with her.

She will have much to explain, and will look badly trying to make excuses. She can start with the Iraq war.

she will no longer have john edwards to again effectively stand in her way
otherwise, hillary's presidential prospects have not been enhanced since her last run for the presidency

Unnamed secret people secretly told a media source that Republicans don't think they could beat Hillary - for which this secret by secret people is posted on this forum...

:lamo

Yeah, I had alluded to that with an Alleged GOP strategist out of New York that has no name. Which is why I said they might to talk to some real ones.

Yeah, this time we are going to stay real classy. Just like the Democrats.....including all those fake tearful moments with the time. Just like Obama s Tearful moment. Just like Emanuel's tearful moment and just like Hillarys. Although.....let them pull that crap this time round. Then we will have the Tissue for their Issue!

Course after you get done deflecting with Fox News. Then realize what the rest of the Worlds media was saying. Then you might be in on some actual facts about how it was just some mistake. Problem is those on the Left only want to look at just certain pieces of the Puzzle and not the completed project.

Right we will be able to take a look at Hillarys major screw up with Russia. How Lavrov was able to play her and the UN Ambassador like they were a string quartet. How she could not recognize that an attempt on a UK Ambassador with an prior attack on the Consulate meant that things needed to be taken seriously. Not out partying all due to an election.

Also the sound bites were not taken out of Context. They were taken straight from her mouth the day she thought she could get uppity while testifying, knowing she screwed up all along and in all details and with all her actions and assessments on not just Benghazi.....but all of Libya.

 

[wbcoleman]

Hillary's been stationed at the top of American politics for over twenty years. What, exactly, are her principal accomplishments?

Until the GOP gets back to it's Conservative roots and stops being the party that GW turned it into they'll loose to who ever the Dem's put up. The lunatics like Huckabee, Santorum, Palin they'll be rejected.

Advice to the GOP, read Conscience of a Conservative, stop pandering to the fanatical religious nuts and actually practice fiscal responsibility and small, limited Government. They can start by having a platform to repeal the Patriot Act and actually start respecting the Constitution. In a nutshell, become a Conservative Party again!

if they can do that
and the democrat party is dumb enough to run hillary, the GOP will regain the white house

Problem is, I highly doubt they will for they like the Dem's are to deep in the Pocket's of their Masters and their Masters are certainly not the Citizens.

There are a few though like Rand Paul (R) and Wyden (D) I can recall off the top of my head that actually server the people.

Pathetic, isn't it?

what is pathetic is that the majority of citizens are looking for a party of fiscal restraint and social liberty and they cannot locate a party with both qualities

Closest ones are the Libertarians, while I'm not a Libertarian they are a hell of a lot better than the current one Party system we have. You know the Rebublicrates that are owned by their Corporate and Foreign Masters.

 

[Dr. Chuckles]

Not a big fan of Hilldog's politics, but she would be a huge improvement over the complete lack of leadership skills that has mired the Obama WH

 

[Dr. Chuckles]

I was wondering about this just the other day.


1. The Clinton name is formidable. Bill brings alot of the ole magic to donors, party big-wigs, and portions of the base.
1a. But not all of the base. Clinton in a primary would have to defend the Obama administrations' foreign policy, and in particular it's anti-terror policy against someone who still holds the nominally liberal positions on these issues. Hillary has been part of the Drone-Em-All-Ism, and it's hard to see a Democrat contender just ignoring that. Hillary would represent a return to the DLC, and the Age of Obama is the Age of the Progressive in the Democrat Party. She would fit as their nominee...... about as well as Romney fit as the GOP nominee in 2012 :2razz:

This will be rather ironic, considered he attacked her in the primary as a DC centrist hawk ...

 

[JC Callender]

I don't think Hillary has a great chance of winning. She doesn't have much of a personality and no real shining achievements in her career. There are also a lot of old Clinton scandals to dredge up. And she's not getting any younger.

What's pathetic is she's more of a Conservative than what the GOP has put up in the last couple of elections ya know.

 

[JC Callender]

I think the Republicans will put up someone much more conservative in 2016. Right now I think the front runners are Rubio, Paul, and maybe Cruz, all pretty conservative. There's still a lot of time though.

Rubio supports the Patriot Act, Cruz supports "defining" marriage, both are NOT conservatives and are in the camp of Big Government so both are out.

Like I said, we need "real" conservatives who respect the Constitution and a Limited Government.

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?

[Jack Hays]

She is the lady to watch. Republicans have to go on a wild goose chase to find a match.

2016 is a long way off. Neither party should count unhatched chickens. At one point in 1990 GHWB had almost 90% approval.
