Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumThe case for why it's Hillary's race to lose - HILLARY GROUP POST
http://www.cnbc.com/id/102691281As the long Memorial Day weekend approaches, now is as good a time as any to assess the state of the 2016 presidential race in its very early stages. Two conclusions are obvious: The race is Hillary Clinton's to lose and there is absolutely no front-runner on the Republican side.
Starting with the Democrats, Clinton continues to have no serious challenger for the nomination. Vermont independent and self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders will offer hard-core liberals someone to cheer for in debates. But he will draw few actual votes. And he will likely have to share the anti-Clinton vote with former Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley and probably a couple of others.
The only potentially serious challenger to ClintonMassachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warrenis not getting in the race, barring some massive change of heart or other cataclysmic event. And with a couple of less-potent liberal alternatives, Clinton will face little pressure to tack hard to the left in ways that could make the general election difficult.
Clinton can safely continue her cocoon campaign strategytalk to preselected voters and avoid the pressfor many months to come. It's infuriating to reporters and bad for democracy but Clinton has no real incentive to take questions on her blossoming email problems, the Clinton Foundation's fundraising issues, the Benghazi attack or any other unfriendly storyline.

Sanders can't win without money and some here are deluded in thinking ll he needs to do is talk and he will win.
Very naive.

Hillary will be just fine win or lose: Its the war the GOP will
start with Iran, that will happen, and American lives
that will be lost, that matter.

Cotton seems to be one sick person, he says he we can take Iran
in seven days, he is getting his money from defense contactors,
also he has said some sick things about women.
Iran, is a population of 70m, which sort of like America, it is scary
to think of them breaking apart, and then breaking into terror
groups like Isis against the US after we bomb them, and killing their
population.
Hillary and the Dem must Win!!
