the rethugs. ONLY one. It's their patience. They plot and plan years in advance and never give up. We Dems don't so much. I've been saying this about the "Hillary's our [only] 2016 candidate" focus since the meme began, even though she consistently said she wouldn't run and even though she'll be 69 and probably grateful to be out of the fray. This is one area we need to be like the rethugs and start right now to plan and groom strong, viable, compelling candidates for 2014 and 2016.
