It's simple really. You need a large group of people to settle on a single candidate to oppose her. That's step one. It has to be one because Hillary Clinton's biggest advantage, and quite frankly the advantage that scares away the best potential opponents is her ability to raise cash.
Hillary's second biggest advantage is to have a large pool of candidates opposing her early on. They will spread the cash from potential donors across a larger pool and weaken everybody's position.
Those two advantages nearly put her in the nominee's position in 2008. People forget, Barack Obama came close to losing the nomination to Hillary Clinton. It was an extremely close race.
Step two, raise cash. A lot of cash.
And here's the one thing you're going to have to accept if you want to defeat Hillary Clinton in the primaries.
Your candidate has to accept lots of cash from high money donors. Corporate CEOs, Wall Street bankers and brokers.You will need capitalist cash because without it, Hillary will roll over your candidate like a steamroller over a beetle.
That's the reality of retail politics in the 21st century. Money is king. You need operations at the state level and that takes money.
