The Hildebeast = Champ with Guts
2014-02-20
It is looking more and more as if the Democratic candidate for President in 2016 will, indeed, be Hillary Clinton. Surprise, surprise!
Also see longstanding 'bear defecates in woods' theory.
The only thing I can see that MIGHT stop Hillary from running would be issues with her health.

Never mind Benghazi, the mainstream Media is already running interference for her on that and can be expected to smother any other scandal that may arise. Hillary will be, as was Obama, THEIR candidate and they will pull out all the stops to get her elected to the office of President.

Hillary is, like Champ, a Marxist. She loves and craves power as much as, or more than, Champ. She is relentless and ruthless. Make no mistake, Hillary's political philosophy is slightly to the left of the late Ho Chi Min. She will make the perfect female dictator.
I would actually prefer a Pol Pot analogy.
Another troubling thought: If Hillary is elected there will be no chance of getting ObamaCare repealed unless the Republicans manage to get a veto proof House and Senate. Remember--before there was ObamaCare there was HillaryCare.
Author assumes Pubs actually desire a repeal.
Remember, too, in 2016, Hillary will be 69 years old--with health problems. You may recall that she remarked that John McShame, who was 70 when running against Champ, was too old to be president.
FDR entered his second of four terms in a wheelchair and very much enjoyed deep sea fishing.
More troublesome, however, is her health. Just a few months ago, Hillary was treated for a blood clot on the brain. We were told at the time that it was due to a concussion she received as the result of "a fall." Later, we learned, this was not the first blood clot for which she has been treated.

It has also been noted that former President, Bill Clinton, has health problems of his own having undergone two heart surgeries in less than ten years. And he remains at risk. Some question of his health would become a distraction for Hillary as President.
Only a couple of hours for the funeral, should he pass on. She'll no doubt be texting from graveside.
Now--it is extremely important we recall her health on the auspicious occasion of her running for President of the US.

Consider this from the Washington Post dated January 2, 2013, and written by Chris Cillizza: "1. Clinton would be 69 years old if she runs in 2016. (Her birthday is Oct. 26, 1947.) That's the same age Ronald Reagan was when he was elected president in 1980. Reagan remains the oldest person ever elected president. (John McShame was 72 when he ran--and lost--in 2008.)
Another great J.D. Longstreet article and priceless blended photo.

#7  There is a reason ValJar has her own dedicated Secret Service detail.

She's the power behind the fool...

#6  If one were able to pay close attention to the comings and goings at the White House, the potential candidate whose time is spent with ValJar will be the odds-on favorite. Besides being the seat of power and fear in this administration, she knows where all the pay-off deals are and what keys to control key sectors of the Dem Machine have been used. Obama merely disgusts me with his arrogance, shallow thinking and ego, but ValJar, she is frightening, and dangerous!

#5  Gov Moonbeam was borin in 1938 - almost ten tears older than the Hildebeast.

#4  Not that I want this guy to be president. Don't get me wrong, folks, he's not what you call handsome, but OTOH, he's not butt ugly and sickening the way Hildebeast is.

#3  Of course, there is the governor of California, our beloved Moonbeam, who can claim actual experience at governing. Not that he's been particularly good at it and he's got to be as old as the hills himself. But he could raise the question: Besides marrying Bubba, what has she ever done?

#2  I'd say no guts, but more ambition and more power hungry. Zero just wants the power but doesn't really get his jollies using it. She wants to grind anyone and everyone that doesn't worship her into the dust.

#1  Hildebeast would come from a long line of unqualified candidates: Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama.
