Because the GOP needs a target.

Hillary won't run, but she's might happy to be the target while the person who will run, and win, while using all the time the GOP will waste trying to whack her.

Conservatives love to play Whack-A-Mole, but they're never any good at it. Prepare for another big surprise.

She`s not into fascism so much as the other party. Also she`s tough, smart and experienced.

The American people have figured out that "the right" are not "consevatives" they in fact are regressives. Not wanting to maintain the gains of the past, but to repeal those gains to go back to a time long gone.

Progressives move the Nation forward, Conservatives hold the line, Regressives want to return to a time long gone.

I will vote for Hillary because she is smart, pragmatic, has extensive foreign affairs experience (I know, I'm willingly opening up the door for Bengazhi ranting), has been able to get cooperation from both sides of the aisle, and represents the democratic party (which is significantly more in line with my values than the so called republician party). Perhaps if the republican party would shift at least to the center on social issues and be willig to negotiate fiscal spending as was the party of the 1960s, they would be seen as credible. Instead, the party continues to let the extreme social conservative and tea party elements dictate the message of the party. Had John Huntsman been a frontrunner last term I may have considered him but the usual list of fools, e.g., rick santorum, mike huckabee, rick perry, etc., folks in the center cannot take seriously. So yeah, Hillary for 2016! No one else in the Democratic party has her experience and record to run on.

Just curious, since you're in Maryland too.

Are you going to continue to perpetuate one party rule in Maryland? I'm so thankful to people like you for 40 tax hikes since O'Malley was elected.

No. I would welcome a third party if it represented my views. O'Malley is my worst nightmare. If he ever gets the democratic nomination I will be seeking a viable 3rd party or independent to cast my vote for. Maryland politics are inherently corrupt.

She couldn't handle secretary of state, what would make anyone think she could handle potus.
