HRC's best bet would be to reprise her senatorial campaign in New York and hit the road to all fifty states. Small gatherings, tightly controlled with no 'baggers allowed inside.

Good point, Finn.... And you could be right. But it seems to me she's more willing to go out on a limb this time.

With all of that baggage, it better be one strong limb.

With all the faux scandals, it's amazing how little these 'tempests in the teapottery' have moved the polls.

"Republican officials are dismayed that months of relentless, negative press coverage of her use of private e-mail servers, foreign donations to her family’s charitable foundation and her six-figure paid speeches have done minimal damage to her favorability ratings." WaPo

I can't wait for the upcoming 'Game of Thrones' shakeout in the Republican field. It's going to get bloody and mean all summer and through the fall.

The thing about these "scamdals" is not that they persuade people to vote for Hillary's eventual opponent but that it discourages people from voting at all. I really think that's the game here because low turnout historically helps the Republicans.

I graduated from the University of Arkansas. In my Senior year, Bill Clinton was elected President.

Does that make me a genius? Hell no. Does it make me someone that has been at a campaign table (he often took the UA band and trombones are in the front due to slides) with him during his initial forays into national politics (merely as a close observer on many occasions)?

Yes.

Nobody is as good in a crowd as Bill Clinton. He would be re-elected, tomorrow. But Bill would have been happy as a professor of law at Arkansas. Hillary made him President.

1. She's at least as smart.
2. She's twice as ruthless.

Anyone who believes she won't be President without lightening in a bottle (Obama's ascendance) beating her is foolish.

She's Darth Vader with tits.
