Let me know who you consider that org to be will you. The DCCC, doesn’t seem to be the right place to give any money for any reason so I’m thinking directly to her campaign.
BTW, any hints as to a VP choice?
If we are throwing around “might”, why not swing for the fences?
Issa MIGHT find the smoking gun that proves Hilary did order a stand down in the same private diary where she admits she shot Vince Foster and used Whitewater to make millions of dollars illegally.
Dems MIGHT realize that a black president was a bad idea and work with the GOP to repeal all of his legislation.
The U.S. electorate MIGHT all go mentally insane at the same time and vote for Huckabee.
Yes, charismatic candidates win, but that doesn’t explain how “Democrats don’t turn out for presidential elections” and yet Democrats have won 5 out of the last six presidential elections.
Oh, I don’t expect Republicans to ever credit scary black president who is scary. What I do think will happen is that after Obama’s out of office, as his approval numbers rise (as they always do once presidents leave office), the media will soften toward him in the same way they eventually softened on Bill Clinton and even GWB. Someone in the media will write a book about race and the Obama presidency, the media will get all excited to talk to themselves about themselves, and suddenly we’ll be having a national conversation about the unprecedented disrespect Obama faced. That’s how it usually happens anyway.

This election scares me more than any other I can remember. If the republicans are able to implement their agenda the suffering would be unimaginable for millions. I think that republicans have effectively used fear (real or imagined) to their advantage. I still cant fathom why they have the support that they do, but every year they seem to make gains despite any sense of reality. Its not looking good and with the divide between “progressives” and “new” democrats (republican lite)…I dont have much faith. I’m afraid republicans are going to have to get their wish list and the hard reality is going to have to set in before people “get it”

Bill Clinton and Barack Obama alive and well and stumping for the Democratic Party and President Hillary Clinton are also huge reasons that Barack’s legacy will be enshrined.
The only thing that the Repubs have going for them is a myth supported by fantasy and denial. This only eases their pain. It doesn’t inspire today’s generation like Obama does or our modern agenda does.
Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch may be the writers and those are books about race that would have teeth.

So what’s really new, here? The GOP is caught in the same cycle that has pushed it inexorably toward greater craziness and confrontation since Gingrich – or Reagan, or Nixon, depending on where you want to start the timeline. I don’t really see it ending until the Dems have held all three branches and most state governments for ten years. Or until the nihilists succeed in pouring sand in the machinery of state so completely that it breaks down, and something new (military dictatorship? Parliamentary democracy?) takes its place.

I think you might be right!
My feelings exactly. With unfavorables of 50% Hillary is our doom candidate. I hope we find someone with some fire in the primaries.

This is quite right. In addition, Democratic legislators are more likely to vote with the opposition than Republicans are; even if there had been an absolute 60-vote majority, getting all 60 of them to vote the same way would be tricky indeed.

We stopped having elections that weren’t “high stakes” a long time ago. 1956, 1960, long about there.

Biggest, maybe, is the ability to appoint Supreme Court justices who will be on the bench for a generation. A GOP President is likely to appoint as many mini-Scalias as possible.

As the republicans get crazier and even less responsible, every election ends up feeling more “high stakes” than the last, and not much less so this time if the nominee is a supposedly reasonable Republican like Jeb or Kasich rather than creeps like Walker or Cruz. As the playing field appears to favor a Clinton victory whoever the Republican nominee is, I’d be willing to risk the slim chance they could win with Walker at the top, as I have little doubt he’d do worse than Jeb or even Rand Paul in the general. The presidential year electorate will not accept a candidate that appears proud of being divisive, especially one that combines the warmth and charm of Richard Nixon with the deep intellect of George W Bush.

By high stakes are they referring to the spending of Billions of dollars on The Party of NO!! [unless it’s a tax cut for the 1%] that will destroy the country?

You forgot hater gate although, it doesn’t seem like it ; )
One(1) is the loneliest number.
THAT applies to ANY Republican President.
George H.W. Bush (the one whom people still call “centrist”) gave us Clarence Thomas.

Might be??? Of course it is. With the right becoming more and more strident as they lose the majority of voters with their policies, they will try every trick in the book to hang and on and ‘fix’ it so that nothing like that will ever happen again.
Look, it just happened in Israel, with the far right Lieberman calling to cut off Israeli Arabs’ heads if they seem not to be conforming. There will be hell to pay if the GOP comes to power, mark my words.
I know the press is expecting a GOP president, and they are doing everything they can to damage Hillary right now–including the NYT this morning yelling about Clinton not signing some document saying she’d turned over every piece of paper related to her post.
In one brief aside in the second paragraph they note that '***neither did the two previous secretaries"–***which is true. But she is consistently shown in as bad a light as they can make up. It stinks.
We do not need GOP “leadership” on any front, foreign or domestic. Their ideas are bad for the country.

It’s already clear that 2016 will be vitally important and may well be decisive.
Think of this: Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be just shy of 84 when the new President is inaugurated. Her good friend Antonin Scalia will be will be 80. Anthony Kennedy will also be 80.
