What she and Bill have going for them, imo, is corporate funding and a resulting fortune, a reputation for dirty politicking, a hit list with enough vindictiveness to strike fear in the hearts of establishment Democrats, and some powerful "friends" all over the world as a result of things they do with the "Clinton Foundation."

Plus, did you see this? http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/04/01/how-hillary-clinton-bought-the-loyalty-of-33-state-democratic-parties/

If the party apparatchiks shoved Biden aside, it was because she intimidated them.

Given all that, there has to be some serious resentment against the Clintons. They suck all the air out of the room. A lot of people would breathe easier if that family got out of the picture.

That's how it looks to me.
