Hillary versus the competition (R) [View all]

Of course I am biased but I don't think any of her opponents are especially gifted politicians....It's not as if she will be running against a Reagan for as much as I despised his policies, had to admire his political chops; the man was a great salesman. Cruz and the Huckster are good orators...They remind me of Jay Osteen but they are too far right of the electorate to get elected. Paul, Walker; I don't see how they pass the "beer test"... I guess I could enjoy a beer with Marco Rubio if our conversation was confined to our favorite football team and basketball teams: the Miami Dolphins and Miami Heat...

Oh, I forgot Jeb Bush... He reminds me of a city manager...


For all of Hillary political skills or lack thereof it's not as if she will be running against some charismatic challenger.
