Quite awkward question: 2016 and Hillary.

[mylye2222]

I do see everywhere Hillary will be the next nominee. So....why this certenty? And I want to understand why do I have also the quite disturbing impressions that games are over for 20016 Convention......far long before primary process beginning????????

1. The polls show the democrats overwhelming want her to be president.

[mylye2222]

2. I have a feeling too....

That pools plays the smallest part. People like Warren are obviously not ultimate corporatists persons. And obviously no Sanders. I do read it as they dont fit to Dem powerstructure.

[hrmjustin]

3. Well the polls are of average democrats so they want her.

I think a primary will be good and it would make her a stronger candidate.

4. Its like deja vu...

over and over, decade after decade.

All we need is a Bush.

6. Well thats up to the gop.

If Dems don't want Hillary then the challengers need to step up.

5. You see what you want.

7. It was a certainty in 2006 too

How did that work out?

[winter is coming]

9. In 2006, as now, Hillary's name was a household word.

Apparently, there's more to winning an election than name recognition.

8. I think most dems want her to be the nominee

but it's a ways off, so if anyone wants to run in the primary they should go for it.

10. Hillary's seen the polls here before, too

Maybe she has a sense of deja vu.

She isn't "running for president" either, is she?

[Leme]

11. Who knows

Hillary may not run

12. Nothing is certain. A week is a long time in politics.

Two years is an absolute eternity. Anything can happen. And I say that as a Hillary supporter.

[okaawhatever]

13. The absolute first reason many Dems want Hillary is because she can win. That is the bottom line. It

doesn't mean that she will, as in 2008, but the ultimate goal is winning and with Hillary's polling she can. One of the things that will attract independents towards Hillary is the economy during her husband's Presidency. I realize it's not the same thing, but I'm surprised by how many times I see that comment posted on other websites like Bloomberg and Reuters.

Her foreign policy experience will play a big role, I feel, because there are so many powder kegs out there like China and Russia, never mind the middle east. That is one thing I question, and I think others would as well with Elizabeth Warren. I think she needs more time in the Senate specializing in financial matters and then possibly some sort of foreign policy experience, even if it is just being active on the Senate Committee for Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committee.

I think Sanders is too far left to win a national election. He also isn't a member of the Democratic party so he wouldn't be in a primary with Hillary or any other Democrat.

14. same certainty last time around

and the time before that though she wasn't even running.

Personally, I'll be thrilled when I never hear this woman's name again.
