Holy crap! Hillary might run for President? Now that will change the field…

And Wall Street and the MIC breath a collective sigh of relief.

Woa! I didn’t even know she was thinking about it! That’s a real shocker! I’m certain she’ll get clobbered by Cruz and Paul. Rand is dynamically laser focused and on message 24x7, while Ted is the heart, soul, liver, and spleen of the Republican base.

ralph_vonholst · April 10, 2015, 1:34pm

Wow…Golly…Gee Whiz! Never saw that coming. Right out of centrist field.

overreach_this · April 10, 2015, 1:34pm

Yeah, it REALLY IS big news, assuming were are talking about U.S. President. Plumb surprising, I’d say, yessiree.

I guess we can look forward to crank conspiracy theories about who Hillary murdered as well as the obsession with her age, what she’s wearing and how much Elizabeth Warren hates her.

imkmu3 · April 10, 2015, 1:41pm

Am I bad in saying that I’m looking forward to the shit fight that is the Republican debates? They will blossom in full putrid glory like an Amorphophallus titanum. Misogynistic slurs will abound, and their true rancid minds will be on display for all to see.

And don’t forget about Chelsea and Bill. The MSM is ordering extra supplies of mass storage devices as we write. And the National Enquirer Staff are planning for lots of overtime.

Courage and integrity are equally distributed with the genders.

Also the ability to fight for what one believes.

Now we will see quite a show with what the Right believes it can get away with, along with a snapshop of what women will take with gender-specific attacks.

Understand, the Afro-centric attacks on Mr. Obama were loudly condemned.

But the term “minority” is not the same as 53%

This is good news…
…for Hillary!

I would have expected ‘anal scent gland’ - as in, no known function other than to cause abscesses when not or improperly expressed.

jinx_tpm · April 10, 2015, 2:33pm

I love her timing! Randy’s announcement will NOT be the buzz on the Sunday shows AND she bigfoots the Cubano 2 announcement on Monday.

Note: Rubio may internally combust as I’m sure he now wants the spotlight to slam Pres Obama for meeting with Raul Castro. If he doesn’t get the attention, it may be like him holding a fart way too long and he just explodes!

bdtex · April 10, 2015, 2:35pm

Outstanding. I’m ready. I’m thinking a $250 donation as soon as the link is up to get my support started.

mymy · April 10, 2015, 2:35pm

Good for her for waiting. Now she sees what the GOP is rolling out, without having had to engage with them and give them more legitimacy than they deserve.

teenlaqueefa · April 10, 2015, 2:52pm

IOW’s, Sunday is the first day we’ll never hear the words “Obama” and “Kenya” in the same sentence again.

hoagie · April 10, 2015, 2:58pm

I’d like to see a Clinton/Warren or Clinton/Castro ticket, although Warren is most effective in the Senate.

avattoir · April 10, 2015, 3:16pm

It won’t be Warren. It’d be highly surprising if she named any woman (and she’s not big on surprises).

Since it looks likely as not she’ll face John Ellis “Jeb” (“Juan Elias”) Bush; since Dems almost surely will be wanting to nominate an Hispanic for president in 2024 (tho possibly as early as 2020 and as late as 2028); and given the commodity exchange value of veeps is typically measured by volume of expelled bodily fluid, I should think Julian or even Joaquin would be considered seriously.

jordanolsen26 · April 10, 2015, 4:07pm

The presumptive nominee, with pretty much no legitimate contenders (not to say there aren’t legitimate people out there, just none that could contend with the money and support system she has lined up), and yet she is still kowtowing to Iowans (no offense Iowans). Wouldn’t it be amazing to see her actually stand up to big agribusiness and take a stand against ethanol which is completely worthless as an alternative or green option? But no. Instead, Iowa will continue to get the first primary for no other reason but tradition.

Why don’t we have a rotating primary schedule so that one state doesn’t have such a powerful position?

albesure · April 10, 2015, 5:20pm

Why won’t Liz Warren run? WHY? PLEASE LIZ!! PLEASE!!!
