They say they really want to run against HRC, because they do -- they can beat her! Better not nominate her.

Unless....

They're just saying they want to run against her figuring that'll make Democrats not want to nominate her, because they fear they can't beat her! Yes, better nominate her!

Unless...

They think Democrats will figure out that they're just saying they can beat her so that we won't nominate her, which means we should nominate her, and that's exactly what they want! We'd better not nominate her.

Unless...

They really don't want us to nominate her and know we'll figure out that saying they hope we do means we'll think we shouldn't, but since that's what they want then we should, but they'd know that so we shouldn't, so actually -- we should.

Unless....

My hair hurts now. :crazy:

3. They're just being nice to her until she gets the nomination--then the long knives will come out.

They want her because she'll be easiest to beat, and if she wins anyway, her corporate ties will make her easiert to influence. You don't think the Rethugs realize what a pathetic field of GOP candidates they're stuck with?

9. Exactly
From Sean Connery's character in The "Untouchables"


"You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way! And that's how you get Capone. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I'm offering you a deal. Do you want this deal? "

Hillary will go through the Rethuglican party like Sherman went through Georgia... She will leave them with broken dreams, no hope for the future, and worthless money...

6. because there has been no real evidence the GOP wants us to nominate Hillary...
... I believe this is a myth perpetuated by the left with a goal of convincing Democrats not to support her. Of course, her poll number are only getting better all the way around.

7. But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you
are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
