The Rethuglicans will have nominated someone so foul, that a vote for Hillary will seem like doing your duty to your country. They simply don't have anyone who can win nationally, period.

So, since the Democratic nomination process will pick the next President, who's getting the face time on the news networks these days? I doubt that 9 out of 10 Americans could pick Martin O'Malley out of a lineup. Joe Biden will make a token stab at getting the job, get his ass handed to him in Iowa, and make Hillary look young in comparison, thus burying the age issue for her throughout 2016.

Yes, Hillary was a Goldwater Girl. Reagan used to be Democratic. So what? Hillary is the only feasible weapon to shatter the glass ceiling, that will get her plenty of votes in the primaries and in the general election from people who have no idea who Elizabeth Warren even is.
