http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/05/hillary-clinton-lady-lynn-forester-de-rothschild-barack-obamaIt just seems she's playing with the same hand she brought to the table in 2008. I'm not opposed to her running, but moves like this make me squirm.

(549 posts)2016 is not important. If we focus our attention on 2016 too late in the game and Hillary cruises to the nomination, so be it. She's unbeatable anyway.

No politician is "unbeatable" and I recall the same stupid claim being made about her back in 2008.
She has massive negatives barring her path to the Presidency.
First and foremost is Bill, have you noticed that Lewinsky is making an appearance again?
Second, the (admittedly non-existent) Whitewater scandal.
Third, the foolish "Clinton Body Count" which is still making the rounds of the RW sites
Fourth, Benghazi!!!!111!11
Fifth, Bill. The narrative that will be sold that Bill is just going to get round Term Limits

(21,115 posts)this is after a successful Black President....and again...it doesn't matter WHICH Democrat wins if we don't win back the House. The same thing happens that ALWAYS happens....we lose every bit of good Progressive ground we made and THEN some.....
Don't worry about 2016....worry about 2014 instead.
