Challenger could give Hillary Clinton an Iowa 2016 problem
“Familiarity breeds if not contempt, then frustration.”
Liberals in politics and media are placing all their eggs in Hillary’s basket for 2016 but remember:
Media in 2006: Hillary Clinton is inevitable.
Media in 2014: Hillary Clinton is inevitable.

When it comes to presidential elections, Iowa is a very important state and as Lee Rood of the New York Post points out, Hillary may have a problem:
Is Iowa already sick of Hillary Clinton?
DES MOINES, Iowa — If you’re a die-hard Democrat in New York hoping to overcome the disappointment that was Nov. 4, you’re worried.
But here in Iowa, where the first-in-the-nation caucuses are a mere 14 months away, some are breaking into a cold sweat.
Most party leaders here will assure you all conversations about the 2016 presidential nomination still begin and end with Hillary Clinton.
The former first lady and secretary of state is a sentimental favorite. Though she has not formally announced her candidacy, her well-oiled super PAC may be the most deeply rooted ever at this stage in the Hawkeye state.
“I don’t know of any party regulars or activists who are really pushing anyone else,” says Jerry Crawford, who co-chaired Clinton’s 2008 campaign in Iowa and helps lead Ready for Hillary in the state.
But that may be the problem. Familiarity breeds if not contempt, then frustration.
Do you know who else isn’t excited about the prospect of a Clinton run? Joe Biden.
Dave Boyer of the Washington Times reported:
Joe Biden claims middle class devastated during Clinton years
Vice President Joseph R. Biden took a swipe Thursday at the Clinton administration — and at possible presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton — by saying the middle class declined “all through the ‘90s.”
“The middle class started to get into trouble in the late ‘80s. All through the ‘90s, with the exception of two years, the middle class was declining,” Mr. Biden told an audience of unionized teachers in Washington. “We need to deal with income inequity.”
The vice president, who is considering a third bid for the White House in 2016, also told the gathering that the Obama administration has helped to create manufacturing jobs “more than [at] any time, even the ‘90s.”
A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton didn’t respond to a request for comment.
I, for one, look forward to Joe Biden’s run for president in 2016 and the nasty primary fight it would cause.
Run Joe, run!

We should never call her anything except Mrs. Bill Clinton. They are a matched pair—of grifters, thieves, liars, and scoundrels. No way in thunder should we ever let them into the White House again.

See? Collectivists really DO have a sense of humor. Even if they don’t get the joke…
That would be a freaking blast to watch. I would LOVE to see Al Franken get up on stage during a debate and just be blasted out of the water by those who are actually (marginally) capable of analysis and issue familiarity, rather than Franken, who got his Senatorship on insult comedy, Marxism and SNL Name recognition alone.
Everybody would finally see him for the utter idiot he is. That Minnesota allowed him to fraudulently steal an election in 2008 and then re-elected him in 2014 shows just what MORONS live in Minnesota.
Watching him be destroyed by those with an actual GRASP of issues would be hugely entertaining.
Just think of the deliciousness of having Palin wielding the flensing knife on that whale…!!!

There is something funny in the water in Minnesota. They elected Jesse Ventura as Governor TWICE. The pro wrestler, conspiracy kook, and 9/11 Truther.
This Non-PC/Plain Speakin’ T-Rex will happily state another simple ‘troot about Shrillery: She’ll be even dumpier, shorter and flabby of face, neck and vast kiester. In this(admittedly)Vapid Age of selfies, tweeties, Instas, faceys, ad nauseum…Those..errrrrr….items ain’t gonna help one little bit. Jeepers, it breaketh my heart. Is that tear I’m feeling..? Nope…Just a speck of dust,’Yo!!
What is not mentioned is that both Mrs. Bill Clinton and Joe “one pair of floppy shoes away from a full clown suit” Biden have medical histories. Both have had either cerebrovascular accidents or damage secondary to concussions in their recent past. One can reasonably argue that there have been incidents in both of their recent careers that are indicative of neurological deficits. Neither is young, and such things do not heal. In fact, they tend to cascade.
By 2016, will either or both be able to cover up their problems? Granting that the State-controlled Media will do their best to cover, there is only a certain amount of drool or gibbering on camera that can be concealed.
Which leaves the Democrats up a certain watercourse near Olongapo City on Subic Bay. And will bring up a meme that will be welcomed by the Nomenklatura; about how the 22nd Amendment is obsolete and can be ignored.
In Mr. Biden’s case, repeated concussions could only help his neural functioning.
Iowans were getting sick of Hillary in 2008. That’s why they drank the Obama kool-aid.
People have had enough of this incompetent, corrupt old hack.
