(84,711 posts)I don't understand WHY there are posts here on DU already pushing Hillary for 2016 when she has had some health problems and we have almost 3 1/2 years more to go before that Election. You are thinking only 2 years because US has endless campaigns with shorter breaks inbetween as the "New Normal."
The Younger Folks are tired of the SAME GAME...they think it's time for something new.
Hillary is not appealing to the Left Democrats because in the "Rear View Mirror" both She and Bill helped Reaganomics to Finish Off Labor and the Middle Class and to Increase the Poor in America with NAFTA and "Commodities Futures Modernization Act, Welfare Reform, and the Telecommunications Act of '96 which opened us up to more Raping of Media Viewers with Additional Fees for the Airwaves We OWN! There's more...but if I listed you wouldn't pay attention and I'm tired of it.
Anyway...we've BEEN THERE AND DONE it WITH Clinton ANGST....And "We Aren't Gonna' Take it Anymore."
We are still seeking the REAL "Change You Can Believe In"...and it wasn't the "Man from Hope, Arkansas...nor the "Obama for 'Hope and Change' of 2008 and 2012.
It's TIRED AND WORN OUT. And WE OLDER VOTERS feel it the most. BTW ...Older Voters DO VOTE in Mid-Terms and show up for Local Elections. The Young...vote when it's important to THEM in National Elections. I've been Young...I'm not so Old...but, Local Issues as one grows older in a Community..means you get your butt out there.
I wish I could have been more eloquent in my post...but there's what it is.
