or Kucinich. I even more certainly never thought they could win, anymore than I think Bernie can win- though I hope he runs as a dem.

Hillary is contemptible, cowardly and corporate to the nth degree. If she is the nominee, I don't think she can beat Jeb Bush if he runs and I think some of the other repubs could beat her as well. I don't see her as the only hope for dems in 2016. Add to that that she sucks as a candidate. She isn't likeable enough. Yeah, she commands the polls in the dem primary. Her margin is a lot less impressive against Bush and Christie.

Yep, she'll likely be our corpora-candidate. What a shame.
