(31,706 posts)...the House and Senate. If the rushpublicans win control of both next year, it'll create a different dynamic going into that election and probably favor Hillary. You are right, she will wait as long as possible to declare her candidacy to "freeze" any other competitors out and make it too late for them to do much if they did want to mount a challenge.
As long as the rushpublicans control the house, no matter whose elected President, they'll face a brick wall in trying to get any legislation passed. The only way is to do that dreaded compromise thing and then no matter who it is from Hillary to Mahatma Ghandi, they'd all be chastised as "selling out".
No matter who the Democrats nominate, the rushpublicans will find garbage to throw and poutrage to mobilize their "base"...the good thing is that base is getting older and smaller by the day. But from my vantage point 2016 is still a long ways out...next year's elections...especially on the state level will be critical...that's where the worst of the right wing abuses are going on right now.
Cheers...
