Hillary Clinton officially launches presidential campaign
- Page 1 of 1
Hillary Clinton on Sunday launched her presidential campaign, with a top aide emailing donors that she’s officially in the race.
John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, emailed supporters and alumni of Clinton’s 2008 presidential bid, writing, “I wanted to make sure you heard it first from me — it’s official: Hillary’s running for president.”
He also said Clinton is hitting the road to Iowa to talk to voters, and that there will be a formal kickoff event next month.

Who do people want to win the Repub nominee in case some disaster (like a major terror attack or recession) occurs and turns people away from the Democrats to Republicans?

Ted Cruz, because I think Hillary would win that matchup no matter what.
I am not a fan of her policies really either but fml she is the most qualified person for the job and the Republicans national policy scares me.
I think it comes down to her vs Rand or possibly Jeb & Rand
IDK I think the republicans are still wide open.
Jeb is too catholic to galvanize the evangelicals and too hesitant in displaying insanity for the tea party/libertarians to be a shoe in for the nomination. Not to mention when push comes to shove Idk how well he will fair when people bring up how much a fuck up his brother was in the Debates. Even republicans are not clamoring for the return of the W years and try to change the subject when he is brought up.
That's why I think Rand is on the ticket at the very least as a Vice President. People mistake his libertarianism for sane and reasoned responses to problems. Also compared to everyone else he doesn't have some major political handicap. Add to that libertarians and the Tea party cross streams enough I could see them supporting him.
Rubio could be the vice president but that is too much of a Florida conection if Jeb is going to be the one to run for president and no way does the republicans put a Latino as their presidential candidate.
Walker is the boogie man of the election and I feel his only purpose on the national stage will be to make other candidates extreme views seem sane by comparison to undecided voters. Wisconsin is a horrible place and he won't be able to avoid his part in making it that way.
Lol at Cruz thinking he has a chance either. All that running of the mouth has made his a joke in a lot of ways.

That's not how the Republican party works, the establishment always gets the candidate it wants without exception. Evangelicals were actively hostile to Romney, Jeb has been their ally since the good old Terry Schiavo days. Jeb is a much better debater than W. and he has an overwhelming financial advantage. Walker is also seen as acceptable to the establishment and Rubio is the backup plan.
Rand is distrusted by the establishment, especially the hawks. He would never be a VP pick. He doesn't bring a state, he doesn't help you govern, and his selection would piss off large segments of your base. Rubio is much more likely for VP.
I'd bet money that Rand does not end up on the ticket.
I have no faith in Hillary ever winning an election/
still can't believe she got lapped by obama like she did

Obama is the most gifted politician of this generation (like Bill was for the last).
By HasphatsAnts Go To Post It's too bad candidates like Huntsman would never ever make it out of the GOP primaries.
I personally think he's aweful. I'm pretty lib so I find him to be frustrating. He's propped up by libs as this sane person on the right but he really just doesn't hate science and that's about it. He's for the Paul Ryan budget and has flipped flopped on Obamacare / The mandate. He's also against gay "marriage" but rather for civil unions. IMO this is a cop out. The whole seperate but equal thing. It's an easy way for him to appear reasonable to both sides while still thinking "eww gays". He's not nearly as moderate as people make him out to be.
That bein said I would love for a moderate GOP candidate.
I would also agree that Hillary is rather underwhelming, but a much lesser "evil" of the two choices I gotta make.
By reilo Go To Post I thought I landed on a retirement community's website. Her branding for this is straight ass.
Young people already vote Democrat, she's probably trying to make inroads with the retirement community demographic.

After all, if she wins, she herself would be eligible to stay in one.
I'm disgusted at the fact that so many Americans are tolerant of what everyone seems to be agreeing upon that is this non-choice election-of-one because "that's the best we can do."
(har har, "ZT)
