The media has turned Hillary Clinton into a national “Great Mother” figure. The media with the help of polling data has all but declared Hillary the the winner of the 2016 elections. Even many Republicans admit that due to the dysfunctional state of their party, Hillary will romp to an easy win. But we heard this story before back in 2008. Then as now, Hillary was promoted as “the Great Mother” who will take care of her children. But then, a man named Obama wrecked her plans.
History may repeat itself in 2016. A Chicago connected Black man named Deval Patrick is eying the Presidency. He knows that being a Black Democrat will make him virtually invincible and untouchable should he win the nomination. It also gives him a heads up on Hillary and the race card will be played against her. Although the media is with her now, they will turn on their “Great Mother” for Deval.
Another threat to Hillary in 2016 is Elizabeth Warren. With her claims of Native ancestry and hardcore Marxist views, She is the darling of the hipster movement. She might take away the first female card from Hillary Clinton. Another factor, Hillary is more hype than reality.
It looks like the Hillary Clinton inevitability bandwagon is up and running again.
Just as in the ramp-up to 2008, Hillary has again scored a victory in the Political Prognosticators’ Primary, vanquishing the prospective Democratic field, in the eyes of the cognoscenti, by pre-spanking her opposition with her imposing résumé.
But what those who tout Clinton as a nigh unstoppable force for the 2016 Democratic nomination fail to realize is that Hillary Clinton is the most overrated politician of her generation.
No doubt she can outwork the opposition and probably raise more money and get more pop stars to pledge their allegiance. She eats determination for breakfast and persistence for lunch.
But diligence, as Barack Obama has taught us, does not guarantee success. Getting results and performing when it counts — as Obama also teaches — are what matters in politics. And results are what Clinton doesn’t get, and probably won’t get in 2016.

Clinton’s bumbling political touch was on full display during a recent congressional hearing in which she exclaimed, with respect to the cause of the Benghazi attack, “What difference at this point does it make?”

First of all, unlike Republicans, Democrats don’t stage a coronation for the last cycle’s runner-up. Reagan, Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney had all gained credibility with Republicans voters who decided it was their turn after an earlier strong primary loss.
“It’s her turn,” is what’s often said about Clinton, but Democratic primary voters don’t care whose turn it is. They have repeatedly swooned for thrilling newcomers instead.
Hillary Clinton would be virtually invincible in a general election. With fond memories of the 90’s prosperity and a Republican Party that is self imploding, Hillary would not have to do any serious campaigning. But she is very vulnerable in the Democrat primary where the Hipsters may fall in love with another cool/hip Black guy or an allegedly part Native American Marxist as opposed to “the Great Mother.” It may just come down to that Hillary Clinton is not cool or hip enough to win the Democrat nomination.
Sadly I fear the 2016 Democrat nomination will be the main poliotical event as the GOP has no one to rally around, the party is controlled by Corrupt Consultants and many of its base voters prefer offensive hostile red meat rhetoric than winning. Hopefully Hillary Clinton will be a loser in 2016 and she was in 2008. Hillary not being President in 2016, regardless if the Democrats still win would be good enough for me. I don’t want to see that ugly face or hear that annoying voice on TV.
