(22,271 posts)11. The Party Bosses want her in.
It would be nice if the Party Bosses would stay the fuck out of it until the primaries have run it's course but that's not going to happen. PBO happened because he was just as corporate-friendly as Hillary except he didn't have the negatives coming in.
The "inevitability" is politicalspeak to warn any challengers, "Don't even think about it." She and her supporters have a sense of entitlement that defies anything closely resembling Democracy. Her negatives will overwhelm everything leaving an opening for Christie. (Neither Rubio nor Cruz will be the nominee.) And THAT will be the Establishment Dems fault. Not the fault of the Progressives, not the fault of the Teaklanners, the fault of the Third-Way Democrats.
