Yes, I do realize that.

And at 69 next November, she's too old to run for elected office. This job isn't for old people, and Hillary is likely 75 in terms of "real age". I think there are likely unanswered questions about her health, and she certainly doesn't appear to be aging well.

Then there's the whole work ethic thing. The last time Hillary Clinton held a meaningful job, she outsourced it to Monica Lewinsky..........and Monica blew it.

I'd like to see Ralph Nader jump into the ring. I think he's more of a pure Socialist than Bernie Sanders. I think Susan Rice and Rachel Maddow would also make great candidates for the Democratic Party. Rachel Maddow would kill two birds with one stone because she would become the first female and LGBT president of the United States.

From my view point Webb would be the most worrisome for the Republicans.
I would love to see Sanders get in... If not just to keep Clinton honest.





O'Malley, Sanders, Webb outline potential path over Clinton to win 2016 Democratic White House nomination | Fox News
I don't think Sanders is a (D), so I am not sure why he is included.
I am not a (D) and have not voted for one in a while. If they had someone moderate like Evan Bayh or Bob Graham running I'd consider voting for them. As it stands now the closest I'd think to a moderate would be Jim Webb, but I really don't know enough about him. Unless and until he declares, I will hope the (D's) can come up with someone better than Clinton & Biden.

WT?
You must be saying that tongue in cheek as Maddow is nothing but a left wing loon talking head. Rice has ruined her chances by being a puppet of Obama regarding Benghazi & the swap of 5 Taliban for the traitor.
Nader, if he runs will be a 3rd party candidate, and Sanders is an (I) last time I checked.

Sanders caucus's with the democrats, hes on the left regardless. You are right though about Evan Bayh... I don't think he could ever get nominated in todays democrat party. He is just way to normal.

Webb would be the only one that could possibly get my vote.
