as Nikki Finke would say "TOLD YA SO"... Jeb Bush mulling presidential bid

52. It is amazing anyone would want to even ascertain ceding anything back to the republicans at all.

The problem is, is that is exactly what the Clintons did, especially with Nafta, Glass-Steagall and the Telecommunications act. They also cede a lot when they make it clear they are ready to to go war on behalf of Israel. They also favor the damned Pipeline some Canadians want (though to their credit, many do NOT).

As I said elsewhere, she is not the worst we could do for 2016, and certainly I would love to see her smash Jeb, however, do think about why the MSM wanted to paint her as invincible in 2008, because they have been planning to slam her in the presidential elections for YEARS. When she goes in, they know what buttons to push, especially because they know Bill will NOT shut up and let Hillary take control, but, just like he did in 2008, he will run right for the Cameras.

Add to this that there are many who want the party to go left, who actually feel that Obama is too far to the right as is. These are the people who have already been holding their nose for years; their patience is not inexhaustible, especially when third parties are ready to play spoiler.

As great as the 2012 victory was (and it was) we cannot forget that there is an enthusiasm gap. If Mitt was not caught on tape as the arrogant jackass he was, he might have made the sale. We cannot assume that even the GOP will not be older and wiser next time, especially as they have lost a LOT of Face.

I am not saying Hill cannot make it, but if she does, she cannot run to the right, especially as that is not where we need to be
