What if Hillary doesn’t run?

There’s a different dynamic at work now — particularly if Clinton waits another few months to make clear exactly what she is going to do in 2016. We are rapidly approaching the point of no return for Clinton. That is, if she were to suddenly take herself out of the race in, say, two months’ time, there would be a massive sense of doom within the party. The shock of the decision would reverberate for weeks — and maybe even months — making it hard for anyone looking to fill the void she left behind.

 

Now, that doom would eventually be followed by a wild scramble among the Bidens, Martin O’Malleys and, yes, even Elizabeth Warrens of the party for the donors, activists and staffers who had all been assumed to be part of the Clinton machine. But doing things in a hurry with what would widely be regarded as Democrats’ “B” or even “C” team would be deeply problematic.

 

Simply put: For Clinton to pass on the race — and especially if she waits until summer to make her decision public — would be absolutely disastrous for her party’s chances of holding onto the White House next November. She and her budding team have to know that, and it’s hard for me to imagine that she would have let things go this far — there is, literally, an entire campaign and outside Clinton world already in place for her — if she had any serious or lingering doubts about whether she was going to make the race.

The longer she waits, the longer donors will hold off making donations to anyone else. She has the Dems all jammed up, No one can get serious until she announces one way or the other.

What I don't get is why everyone is so concerned about her. She's an incredibly bad candidate, and a horrible campaigner.

I hope the DEMs DO NOT hit the "Reset Button" with Hillary.

 

She's the best hope for America these days! That is... She makes for an easier win for any GOP candidate.

 

Besides the obvious translation stupidity... How'd Hillary's Reset work out with Putin anyway?

BTW... She's gotta run now 'cuz they gotta sell a warehouse full of these now... and they're not exactly flying off the shelves.

We can all just pray that she doesn't model them in the advertisements.
