9. The African-American and Asian Vote Is Also Hillary’s to Lose
The Republican Party was hardly surprised when Obama won the African-American vote by 93 percent to 6 percent in 2012. But they were surprised that he won the Asian American vote by a wide margin of 73 percent to 26 percent. Will Hillary resonate as well with both these two groups?.......
The second verse is the same as the first. (or the 9th as the 8th). The same basis of anti-minority undertones of the religious right core base in the souther whites tends to repell any support of minorities that actually would support their ideals.
10. Bill Clinton Will Be a Tremendous Asset to Hillary
“Vote for the First Dude” is a bumper sticker waiting to happen.
During last summer’s Democratic National Convention, Bill Clinton convinced America to vote for President Obama in what was heralded as such an eloquent speech that it made Obama seem small by comparison.
At that moment, Democrats and their media allies experienced a tsunami of feel-good Clinton nostalgia that continues to this day, and “Hillary 2016” is the supreme beneficiary. Furthermore, from a pop culture/media perspective, her leaner, non-meat eating, more highly evolved, totally rebranded, well-respected charitable husband (of Clinton Global Initiative fame) will be one of Hillary’s greatest assets on the campaign trail.......
Very true. And the main reason is because both the republicans and the democrats have toted up Bill Clinton as some super president that can fix everything. He came in under a highly sucessful time in American economics and he did a lot of good. Honestly he is the best president we've seen in 50 years or more. Republicans made the very stupid mistake of saying that Bill was a good democrat when trying to discredit Obama as a "bad democrat". Now they will suffer the concequences of ever letting go of this idea that he was an immoral satanist.
11. Hillary Will Run for Either Obama’s Third Term or Bill Clinton’s
If Obama’s presidency tanks in its final years, than Team Clinton (with the help of the complicit media) could easily repackage herself to run for Bill Clinton’s “third term.” (Remember that his third term was won by Al Gore in 2000 and then stolen by that evil George W. Bush, or so goes the Democrat folklore.)...........
More for Clinton's 3rd. And thats because everyone wants that late 1990's economic boom.
12. The Republicans Have a Weak Bench With Little Star Power
If the Democrats did not have Hillary, or she declines to run, then both parties would have weak benches.
In this hypothetical case, the campaign playing field would be roughly equal (except for that growing slant in the Electoral College). But the Democrats do have Hillary, and all signs point to her running, so that leaves only a weak GOP bench and the question, “How can any of the potential GOP candidates possibly win 270 electoral votes?”
They don't have any major candidates that will be let through their rough primary.
13. The Long GOP Primary System Plays to Hillary’s Advantage
On May 30, 2012, Romney finally won enough delegates to win the Republican nomination. And during that month, Obama pummeled and defined Romney as a rich mean man of privilege who fired people like you so he could become even richer. Romney didn’t know what hit him and hardly responded. Some Republican political consultants believe May was the month when Romney lost the general election because he was too busy wrapping up the nomination and building a national campaign organization.
This is only one example of how the Republican primary traveling circus went on far too long, hurting the eventual winner, and was extremely debilitating to the image of the party in the eyes of the general electorate..........
The primary in the republican side has been a race to see who can go further to the right to appeal to the party members. And then they have to veer back to center to stand a chance in the actual election. Democrats don't have this issue. Hillary certainly won't have this issue. So any republican that makes it through (definitly not a moderate that would stand a chance) will either look like an dangerous extremist or a flip-flopper that will say anything to get elected. That is the danger of the republican primarys.
14. Hillary Will Make the Case That She Is the Only Leader Who Can Bring Us Together
As the potential first woman president and commander in chief, Hillary must prove that she has the capacity for strong leadership and is not afraid to compromise with Republicans in order to solve the problems confronting this nation. And with friends throughout the media singing her praises, this task should be a no-brainer—even with the Benghazi clip of “What difference does it make?” being played nonstop by Republicans.
But the irony here is that by offering herself up as the strong leader that America desperately needs (like she did so well in 2008), she draws an obvious negative comparison with our current leader, who is sadly lacking in this skill set and whose blessings she wants out on the campaign trail.......
While I agree to an extent its not necessarily true. She is a more centrist figure even in the political world today. Benghazi is the only stain in her resume and thats a lot less damaging than most other politicians. She does stand to represent the rights of several different walks of people than any republican at the moment. She is a modern feminist. She is popular with almost all Democrats. Minorities tend to like her. She is supportive of marriage equality. All of these things touch the hearts of supporters without making any enemies.
15. Calling Hillary ‘Old’ Insults the Old Republican Base
Hillary was born in 1947, making her 66 years young. If elected president, she will turn 70 during her first year in office. But as we all know, 70 is the new 55, so this is not a problem. But the next time you hear a Republican say that Hillary is too old to run (as I do all the time) please have these facts handy:
In the 2012 election, voters over the age of 65 composed 16 percent of the electorate and voted for Romney over Obama by 56 percent to 44 percent—making this age group Romney’s most loyal voting block. Next most faithful were the 45- to 64-year-olds, who constituted 38 percent of the voters and supported Romney 51 percent to Obama’s 47 percent.
So how do these stats help Hillary?
The answer is today’s “old people” do not think of themselves as old but rather smarter, more disciplined, better educated, and more competent than the generations that followed. Romney won older voters because he appeared more competent and accomplished than Obama. Now it is Hillary who will wear the competent and accomplished label more often than black pantsuits.....
I seriously laughed when this came up. Hillary is too old? What? really? Wow. Then why don't you speak out against half of your political party that is even older than she is? Perhaps the 2008 nomination that is still politically active 8 years after his attempt and he was oldern then than she is now. So yeah its a stupid argument that doesn't seem to be repeating.
16. The GOP Has Weak Arguments Against Hillary
Recently, someone sent me a link with a video from the Stop Hillary.com PAC. The video portrayed her 2017 “inauguration.” The voice-over was Hillary taking the presidential oath of office while the following words were flashed on the screen: Whitewater, Vince Foster, Travelgate, Rose Law Firm, and Benghazi. Then as Hillary finishes the oath saying, “So help me God,” the words “So help us” flash on the screen.
Yup. She does not have any major points that you can attack her on. She has played her hand flawlessly over the years and thats really hard to do.
I agree that she will be nearly impossible to defeat if she chooses to run, what do you think? I think the only chance the republicans have is Chris Christie (RINO)
I personally like christie. He will not win a primary. Though if he did I might vote for him. I don't know exactly who I like better as both are very good candidates that would make excellent presidents. I probably would still lend my vote to hillary unless Chris made some damn good arguments. Though I could be swayed. If Hillary won I would like for her to give her blessing to Chris for the next election years. I hope personally that the Republican party splits in two and becomes the Republican rino's and the tea baggers. That way the Tea baggers go and die out while we get a re-vamped conservative party worthy of support that can actually make arguments against all of the things that Democrats are doing wrong. Democrats are NOT a perfect party and I will never call myself a Democrat. But now they are simply the lesser of two evils. If we had a real competitive situation between them It would be a good thing.

Although it is a dumb argument, because old white guys are pretty much the face of the GOP, but at least they have moved on from that "her time of the month" crap.

Democrats are a different breed. The Republican base is exactly as mentioned. Old, White, Racist, Bigots, etc. There is zero denying it. If you say you support the Tea Party, you are exactly what's mentioned.

Not sure where my response came from. I must have been quoting another post or something. Still can't figure it out.
Not sure, I'm still trying to figure out which post was supposed to be quoted. Obviously it wasn't his.
