Any serious political future for Chelsea Clinton got ruined today....
And I am serious about that. I had become curious about the idea of her running in 2016 which is entirely possible because she has lots of support obviously from her Mother's Campaign. And of course the idea is fine because if there are no better candidates in 2016 then she will obviously be nominated and we can continue.

That ended today....

In case you have not noticed. The way your family acts in politics has a direct impact on your campaign. Anger over Bill Clinton impacted Hillary's campaign.. Bush took some flak for his fathers actions years before.. so on and so forth..

With the disgusting comment Hillary Clinton decided to say.. It will be recorded if not in the memories of such a tense campaign today then in print and other news media....

When she tries to run the comment coming from the old Clinton Campaign will come back to haunt her. Even if it is just for a low contested seat in congress.

If she tries to run for president in 2016 the comment from the old Clinton Campaign will very likely lead to her defeat.

This is a sad day for the democratic party.

I am actually angry about it because she has been working hard for her mother's campaign.

1. Chelsea Clinton should slap her mother back into reality.

3. Too late...
Whats done is done. She may be successful in business but her political future is in ruins. All thanks to her mother.

18. Chelsea went out and lied about Tuzla just like her mother.
No thanks to more liars in government.

5. If she had gotten a chance she may have been a good choice in 2016.
The problem is the comment is going to sink such a chance before it even starts.

14. Hey, the sins of the mother need not be visited upon all future generations.
Leave Chelsea alone. She worked for her mother's campaign. Fine, that gave her experience -- and she saw many mistakes to learn from.

7. I know she is not her parents but she will be affected by this regardless.
Politics is a nasty business.

11. She Will be Hurt by this, but in Time
she will likely separate herself from today's remarks. I hold Hillary responsible for her words and actions..... I'd rather see everybody keeping the spot light on her and not on her kid.

6. She never had a chance anyway.
She has the personality of a wet mop.

9. 2016 is a long way away. Plenty of time for her to develop into politics if she got the chance.

10. You don't suddenly develop a personality at 27.
You've either got it or you don't.

15. That is being unfair.
It happens over the years and she is learning things from this battle.

13. If she's interested, shouldn't she run for congress or something first?
That's usually how people do it... even Clintons and Bushes.
