Plouffe Calls Clinton Probably The Strongest 2016 Candidate (VIDEO)
David Plouffe, the former top adviser to President Barack Obama, said Sunday that Hillary Clinton is "by far the most interesting" and "probably the strongest" prospective 2016 presidential candidate in either party.
During an interview with PBS's Jeff Greenfield at the 92nd Street Y in New York, Plouffe, who rose to political stardom after helping guide Obama's successful 2008 campaign, reflected on the marquee Democratic primary clash that began more than four years ago.

Plouffe said he has the "highest degree of admiration" for Clinton, who he pegged as the prohibitive favorite in the next presidential race.
"She is in both parties right now by far I think the most interesting candidate, probably the strongest candidate," Plouffe said. "But she has right now the opportunity to take some well deserved and rare time for her with her family and figure things out."

Seems like a Hillary run is inevitable.

I would love if Axelrod and Plouffe run or work with Hillary in 2016 and her reelection in 2020

This is the modern world. Things impossible in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s,80s,90s, are now happening

I guess it's to be expected. Maybe Plouffe is looking for upcoming employment, as well.

Hurricanes and earthquakes are inevitable. But, it doesn't mean I have to vote for them.

Why on earth would any Democrat argue against working for change now?

I'm fairly certain the preliminaries to a run are inevitable, as the flags are already being raised.

If Hillary decides to run, it's hard to imagine any other remotely credible Democrat running
