Howard Dean: Hillary Clinton Will FACE PRIMARY RIVAL [View all]

[Segami]

Howard Dean predicted Friday that Hillary Clinton won’t have a clear path to the Democratic nomination in 2016 if she decides to run, suggesting a primary challenger from the “Barack Obama” generation will emerge.

“There will be a next generation candidate; she’s not going to get a pass in the election. I’m pretty sure Martin O’Malley will run, who knows if Andrew Cuomo will. There’s a long list of people who are interested in running,” Dean said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Responding to a new poll that shows Clinton beating Republican challengers in 2016 and Vice President Joe Biden not faring as well, the former Vermont governor and one-time presidential candidate said he believes Clinton is “no question” the better candidate of the two.

“I think Hillary’s going to win the nomination,” Dean said. “I think she’s going to win the presidency if she runs. But the one caveat is it’s not often in America that we go back a generation. She’s of my generation, not of the new, upcoming, younger generation, out of the Barack Obama generation. So I think that’s the only weakness that she’s really got.”
