16 Reasons Why Hillary Clinton Will Win 2016

Sorry, folks, this race is over. Conservative Myra Adams lists the many reasons Hillary will win the White House in 2016—from gross media bias to groupthink and barrels of money.
1. Madame President: A Great Social Movement in the Making
A great social movement to elect the first Madame President is gathering wind and will reach sustained hurricane strength on November 5, 2014—the day after the midterm elections and the “official start” of the 2016 presidential campaign..........
2. The Media Is Ready to Crown a Queen
Hillary, the first female presidential nominee of a major party, will be anointed by the media, Hollywood, and pop culture—just as they anointed the junior senator from Illinois in 2008. ..........
3. Groupthink: It’s Her Time, and She Deserves It
Between now and 2016, listen as political pundits exclaim, “It’s her time,” or “She deserves it.”

Long-suffering Hillary, who was publicly humiliated by her cheating husband and then triumphed over adversity by being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000. Long-suffering Hillary, who was defeated by her own party for the presidential nomination in 2008, and then further rejected by Obama to be his running mate.............
4. Organization the Obama Way
Hillary’s campaign-in-waiting, the Ready for Hillary PAC, is readying itself to turn into her official campaign as soon as Madame General signs the battle order.

Some top-notch Obama campaign talent, Jeremy Bird and Mitch Stewart, have already been hired to build an organization similar to President Obama’s two nearly flawless, state-of-the-art campaigns.........
5. Barrels of Money
For the 2012 presidential campaign, both candidates eventually raised a billion dollars. But Obama had the advantage of early money and put it to great use, negatively defining and attacking Romney throughout the spring of 2012......
6. The Electoral College is Slanted Toward Hillary and the Democrats
Just how much of an advantage will the Electoral College offer Hillary in 2016?

Here are some startling facts:

In 2012 the final Electoral College results were 332 for Obama and 206 for Romney. If Romney had won the battleground states of Florida (29 votes), Ohio (18 votes), and Virginia (13 votes), Obama would still have been reelected but by acloser margin of 272 to 266........
7. Hillary Will Have Either Symbolic or No Primary Opposition
The only reason why ambitious power players like New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo or Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley might challenge Hillary to a primary is to increase their own national name recognition with the goal of landing on Hillary’s VP shortlist. (The battle to top that shortlist will be the real Democratic primary of 2016.) Not having a real primary will be a tremendous advantage for Hillary, thus freeing her up to concentrate on the general-election battle while the Republicans are still battling each other............
8. The Hispanic Voting Bloc Is Hillary’s to Lose
In 2012 the Republican Party was shaken to the core after Romney lost Hispanic voters to Obama by a lopsided margin of 71 percent to 27 percent.

Now remember, the Ready for Hillary PAC has already hired some key Obama managers and field organizers who helped produce those outstanding results. Certainly part of their new job will be to ensure that the fast-growing Hispanic population continues to be a loyal Democratic voting block...........
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?.......
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.......
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.)...........
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?”
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..........
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.......
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.....
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.

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)

My bet is that she doesn't even win the primary. Ever notice that the one talked up the most before the primaries starts always looses. Very rarely does the front runner take the primary.

Nah, never noticed that amongst democrats. But I do know the republicans change who they like based on CONmedia telling them.

Well Hillary is not a Republican so most likely she will win. One has to keep in mind that Republicans are essentially the Christian equivalent to Islamists. :shrug: Someone had to say it :D

I think she will be the next American President. She hugely impressed us here in Britain with her performance on the world stage in her role as US Secretary of State.

Losing out on selection last time around has done her the power of good. She has stature, diplomacy and certainly acquitted herself well under pressure in times of crisis when she was Secretary of State.
She is looking the complete package now.

Not a big fan myself.

Would rather see Elizabeth Warren in there.

Spot on! If Clinton wins, Wall Street wins, and nothing really changes. If Warren wins, things have at least have a chance of changing.

The people who most want Clinton to run for president are not Progressives and Liberals, but Conservatives -- and especially Teabag Conservatives -- who are accustomed to having wet dreams at night about how righteously upset they'll get if she runs.

Liberty or GTFO. And as of now, the majority of Democrats and GOP are pretty weak on this concept.

I think when it comes to standing up for liberty, Americans are little better than lap dogs these days. Doesn't matter which side of the aisle they sit on: They just want to be secure from the big, bad terrorist and will give up any right or liberty to the master who promises them security.

Which is sad considering that doing so doesn't necessarily guarantee any sort of real safety. But then again, many people (including myself to some extent) are largely apathetic.

I prefer progressive change rather than surrendering to the neo-con view of liberty.
Whatever that means.

(And I ain't leaving ;))
I am directing that at candidates like Rubio, Clinton, and Warren. Though you can leave too if you want, as long as you are not coerced by a government or government-like entity to do so ;)

Even with Warren on the ticket, if Clinton is the presidential pick, the pigs of Wall Street are the winners.
Why do you think that about clinton and wall street? Do you feel Obama would be stiffer against wall street than clinton?

She's definitely got all the credibility and experience you would want from a president.

Weakness go across all parties...even the minority parties in government. Don't think that because you belong to a certain party and you "talk tough" on liberty that you're any better than the the majority voting on bills that would become law. Many of them in all parties are out for self, in the pockets of big business, big agri, big pharma.....and many of them, in all parties, preside over states that take more from the federal government than what they give......This includes...Dems, Repubs, Tea Party, Independents and Libertarians.....

I'm of the opinion that both Obama and the Clintons are in Wall Street's pockets. I leave the notion that one is better than the others for the hair splitting political theologians.

In my opinion, no matter which of those three you elect, you will see no regulation of the financial sector effective enough to prevent another Great Recession like the Great Recession of 2008, you will continue to see such things as tax breaks and/or subsidies to corporations that are off-shoring American jobs, and you will continue to see the devastation and decline of the Middle Class. In my opinion, those three clowns are puppets of the 1% who increasingly appear to be the real rulers of this country.

In partial contrast, Elizabeth Warren has a history of siding against Wall Street and with the Middle Class -- what's left of the Middle Class, that is. But I'm not even sure she would do. Maybe the 1% can -- in the end -- co-opt her too! After all, she would need tons of money to run for president, and the 1% are the people with the most money. They're the people Obama and the Clintons have gone to for funds in the past. If Warren had to go to them, wouldn't she end up as much in their pocket as Obama and the Clintons.

At least, that's how I see it. How do you see it?
