"Vote for Hillary or else!"

[EuroGame]

10. As of today

She is the best bet. Obama many times famously said: don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good (Voltaire). You see, I see nobody in today's democratic field (save Biden), that could have a solid (50+%) chance of winning in 2016. Not even Biden has such good chances, but has the name recognition. You have to not compare democratic candidates to republican candidates based on a personal level and merit, but on the gigantic money dark satanic machine the Republicans have. As such, you need a candidate thats 'head and shoulders' above anything they can muster. This brings us to Hillary Clinton. A very well known politician, mostly likes, and yes, another primer: a female. (ps, that 'vast right wing conspieracy will pummel Biden just as much, perhaps even more than Clinton)

If America's political system was normal and fair, you could indeed run any Warren or O'Malley etc. But in a crooked, rotten to the core political system, you need indeed a person who is qualified and has fairly good policies, but who is also a 'rock star'. This is what the republican machine has forced upon the American democracy, ever since that third rate actor Reagan.

So in effect, I would like a woman like Warren as your president, but I want to remain logical and pragmatic also. If Clinton can win, go for it. Even if she may be a bit more hawkish on foreign policy etc. You need to look at the big picture. Let's say another 8 years of democratic rule at her hands. That would destroy a gigantic amount of republican talking points: economic wise, taxes wise, health care wise, and yes, foreign policy wise. It will pretty much remove the veil from the republican party, letting it stand naked, with a tiny piece of manhood.

In all, this will force the entire political spectrum more toward the middle, where it rightly belongs, after having been hijacked for almost 3 decades by the reich wing.

After those 8 hypothetical years, no sane republican will dare question universal health care, marriage equality, AND even good middle class politics. While they will probably remain skewed toward the rich, gigantic tax cuts for the rich won't be anywhere near politically possible anymore.

8 years of Clinton will pretty much be a continuation of Obama. More oversight and regulations, normal and sane judges, probably expanded health care, more policies toward helping the poor, education and infrastructure, and less greed and 1% douchebaggery.

Christie on the other hand, while seemingly a 'rino', will probably try to undo much of Obama's gains, even if to a lesser extent than a Romney presidency would have.

So, Warren would be great, but highly improbable seen how the reich wing machine has made pretty much anyone who isn't a rock star electable to democrats.

But after 8 years of Clinton (hopefully), much of the reich wing will be toast, along with demographic changes etc. Democrats will be cemented as a 21st century party, and the Republicans will have been forced to adapt, and people will be looking at those idiot tea party ralliers of the 2009/2016 times as complete idiots who kept buying bullets to keep shooting their own toes of. The entire spectrum will more towards a more sane center of gravity. Vote Hillary 2016!
