The pre-campaign begins
I bet you never thought you would see a Hillary sign on this blog!
It is a little early but my interest in the Presidentials is tweaked.
I enjoyed reading this today. The Goopers are in disarray. After binging on the giddiness of right wing support they are, apparently, breathless.
It is about Jeb and how he is so weak that to call him an "establishment" candidate is just more leakage. He is no more popular, perhaps less, than any of the wacko's and fringers, the wing nuts who have taken over the party.
And none of them are strong enough to budge the meter within the GOP decisively.
Now, it seems that the acid test is to find how well any Republican prospect runs against Hillary. They all do badly.
As you know, I was not enthralled with Hillary. But now, after all her time at State and in her day to day work in the Administration she has won my esteem. She put her head down, became a team player, kept her (and most of the time Bill's) mouth shut and did her job.
The ego got directed constructively.
I gather there is no doubt whatsoever that she will run and be the candidate for a united Party. Imagine that. United Democrats.
It is way to early to declare victory of course. A lot can happen between now and "then" but "then" is closely upon us.
The half term elections will be over soon and full attention will go to the big one.
I have my place in the bleachers so I can see the show.
Incidentally, I have retired from reading the daily political blogs. This item came straight out of Associated Press via Yahoo news. Anything but inside baseball. Painfully outside for Jeb.
At least they are not running fat jokes at his expense now that Christie is no longer available. Remember him? But Jeb is a pudge and it will happen soon.
