148. And then she'll lose.

I don't think Hillary is electable anyways, but she's bound to do what she always did before - betray her own party and pander to the lowest common denominator in American politics: emotion and rhetoric. These are the dog whistling, chest beating, war loving, conspiracy-buying, pseudo-populist hacks who yell "under god!" during the pledge of allegiance, who think that the ACLU is a terrorist organization because they heard it on The O'Reilly Factor, and who think that everything should be "Jesus-ified" by law and/or force.

A Hillary vs. Jeb 2016 run would be an absolute nightmare. Hillary encompasses everything that is wrong with Washington: an incestuous inner-circle of billionaires who have a "I've got mine, so screw you all" mentality. Hillary vs. Jeb was suck because, no matter who won, we would get a conservative hawk who loves them some war and isn't afraid to tell any lie to make a war happen.

The article did not mention which pac put this out, I would check the sources of the article and the Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #129

Yes it did: "a news release from the Stand With Hillary PAC" muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #131

The link given in the post states Stand Up With Hillary, her pac is Stand With Hillary, Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #135

That is the link given in the post; it does NOT state "Stand Up With Hillary" muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #140

Look on the top left side of the video, look at the bottom and you will see sanalio.com as the Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #142

The link you gave is the link in the OP muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #144

Go bach to the original post, watch the video provided, look at the picture included in Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #145

Just correct your false "The article did not mention which pac put this out" claim in #129 muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #146

Okay, when I look at the video it is not a Hillary pac, I doubt if many saw Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #147

So you leave your false "the article did not mention which pac put this out" there, though you know muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #151
