In reply to the discussion: Is Chris Christie going to run for President as a Democrat in 2016? [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)for her to run, for one thing against Jeb, she will be dukakissed like he was.
For another, she was never vetted and barely won her race in in one of the most liberal states
for another, she is in the perfect job
(and after the horrible runs by Kerry and Mitt, most likely no one from Mass. will run for a long time, and if someone from Mass does run, it would be the honorable Gov. Deval Patrick, who would run.
But why would you want someone else doing Warren's job? WHO??? There is no one else in the senate doing what she does, and campaigning for President is going to have to start for someone not Hillary, almost immediately.
So what would she run on ?
She just started her term and congress hasn't even been in session for the most part and won't til next week. So she has zero record. And again, who would replace her currently in the senate to do what she would do?
I thought she was singular in her single issue voters elected her for.
And well, President Obama as he says, goes forward.
all you are doing is going back and saying look at 1992 and 2008.
If you want to go back, look what happened in 1968 when the best able to win candidate did not run (LBJ), because voters fractured over one issue, forgetting all the others, and allowing an inferior candidate (but one heck of a nice, great guy, HHH) to be nominated.
Lost the electoin to Nixon.(who sabatoged the negotiations to end the war LBJ had worked hard on).
LBJ would have beaten Nixon in a down and dirty race.
and McGovern, great guy, but come on, anyone around then knew he wouldn't win both before and after Eagleton quit).
Hillary is running.
Just like some didn't think she would run for Senator of NY when she did.
Events do define the times.
and the times in 2016 will be for a cotinuation of what President Obama has done.
Not tearing it down and wanting change.
Why would anyone want to change what President Obama has started and achieved?
(only the Jeb Bush's want to do that.)
But Christie is interesting person.
Personally I would like Biden to be Hillary's VP
but Charlie Crist would be a great choice once he wins the Florida gov. as a Dem.
So would Jerry Brown or twenty others.
But no one is in the class of Hillary in experience, and standing.
And the fact that 100% of her dirt is public knowledge. No other candidate has been vetted
whatsoever.(and after the fraud Edwards was, best to get all the dirt out there way early, because dirt will be found if it isn't).
Though a Hillary/Warren ticket would be interesting, wouldn't it?
