At the end of the day, Clinton's policies were losing steam. If oil was cheap, if foreign money was seeking protection of the dollar, if there was a dot-com bubble, if there were no major wars ongoing, then Obama might be looking pretty rosy right now himself. After all, his administration essentially contains Clinton's exact economic team.

There were losers to Clinton’s policies, from manufacturing due to offshoring, from poor folks kicked off welfare, and Mexican farmers who were out priced in Mexico by cheap American produce. Not everything was peaches and cream. Just look at the influence of Sec of Treasury Robert Rubin, this con man needs no introduction.

Default Yes, there are millions who are this clueless

There are millions of people in this country who honestly believe with all their heart and soul that 1 + 1 = 11. They're called REPUBLICANS and they think they have a chance, even if it's obvious that they haven't a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

Any group of people who support a party that gave us Dubya, even after Dubya decimated this country, is as clueless as Sarah Palin at a civil rights convention.

Yes and yes. Republicans have a W problem. They don't get that. They don't have a snowball's chance in h--- of winning a national election for several years because of him. Sane Americans would seriously consider sacrificing a limb before having to live another four years under a president who is cut from that cloth. Republicans won't be able to recover from the damage he did to their brand until they publicly renounce him, apologize profusely to the American people for supporting him and promise they will never let something like this happen again. Instead, they are doubling down with W 2.0s. They are clueless.

Republicans are still too looney to win an election. They keep citing Hillary's low poll numbers but shes consistently beating every one of them. She might be in trouble if she were running against Lovable Sensitive Super Republican X but in reality she will face one of the loser clowns currently in the primary. Republicans forget that all any Democrat has to do is win one more state than John Kerry did; Hillary will win every Kerry state plus Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico. Winning only one of Iowa, Florida, Virginia, Ohio or North Carolina will put her over the top.

Thus far, each nominee looks as out of touch as the next. Just another loser parade of establishment Rinos. Are they even trying anymore???

If ever there is an election worth staying home for, the next presidential election will be it. America has never required a viable 3rd party this bad in generations. Does anyone really believe a Republican candidate stands a chance?
Will you agree to pay each of us 5 bucks if a Republican wins in 2016? If you say "no" that means you think there's a possibility.

But, but Bush is now more popular than Obama according to a CNN poll from last week. Didn't the "progressive" media report it? Oh jeez, I'm looking at Google News -- they didn't.

"A majority of the public once again say things in the U.S. are going pretty badly and disapproval of Obama's job performance has climbed back above 50% as well. In fact, former President George W. Bush is more popular than Obama."

CNN Poll: Bush now more popular than Obama

I'm a Democrat and feel that the GOP is comprised or sour old men who are unwilling to bend from their antiquated ideals, even though they realize it is 2015. That being said, I think they do have a chance in this election because we have pretty much used up all of our good prospects in the past.

Senator Clinton is a strong contender, but I am not sure the country is ready for a woman yet. Don't get me wrong, I will vote for her, I am just saying that a lot of people might be afraid of a female at the helm.

Of course, I never thought I would see the day when we had a black President either, so maybe times are really changing.

The Democrats and Ms. Clinton has why too much baggage since the Age of Obama. Never mind the Clinton problems, like the Clinton Foundation.
When she award contracted to business for a donation?
Where is the Liberal outrage?
Really?
The GOP continues talk solutions and what they would do as President and like tax reform, replacement of Obama care. (establish cost),National defense and transparency (which Clinton and Obama has never did)
Sensitive Super, Really Clinton does not even care about the average voter and know American is into results and having making a living to have a life style, instead of having 3 part time jobs.

Clinton also refused to speak to regular people and reporters. She refuses to talk about the issues except to throw the Race card and the voter fraud card out there. ( In a controlled supporter group)

As written the DNC is going down in a tail spin and they cannot get control back. The tighter and the more negative the DNC the faster they fall. Latest polls shows a steady decease of trust foe Clinton.

Even Black American's rethinking Democrat. Black America sees cheap labor from Mexico and China replacement them, Hope and change has not impacted the inner city very well.

Point, in the Magic Kingdom (Walt Disney world) Americans are training foreigners and then being released.

Why should we even consider a Demorat???????

So far, I don't have a dog in this fight because I haven't seen a democrat or a republican that I can support. That said, I am not sure if I were a republican I would want to run right now either. Too many dominoes are ready to fall and nobody wants to be the one holding the bag when and if it does, so you make an excellent point.
There is no national housing bubble. Most of the country remains in a flat housing market, especially outside urban areas.

Foreign money is driving the housing market, in some areas. The US housing market is viewed as a safe haven by some foreign interests. Imagine that.

You read it here: Rubio, if nominated, will take Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico. Hispanics know Rubio is pro-amnesty and will support laws favoring them regardless of his pandering to the right in the primary. The good news for Clinton is that Rubio will probably not be the nominee and he is the only one who can get the Hispanic vote needed to beat her of the ones announced (or otherwise).
