5 Reasons Hillary Won’t Run

The Real Revo

RCP is a conservative site, so take it with a grain of salt, but I hope this turns out to be accurate.

Hillary Clinton’s minions are hard at work assembling a political machine and fine tuning it for another go at the White House. Mrs. Clinton is doing her part preparing for a run as well, churning out a bland memoir about the “hard choices” she faced as secretary of state and coyly positioning herself (again) as the inevitable nominee of the party. But after the troubled beginning to her book tour, we’re beginning to see the reasons why Hillary may eventually decide to pull the plug on a 2016 presidential run. Here are five:  

1) She’s just not that good at campaigning. If the last two gaffe-prone weeks have reminded us of anything about Hillary, it’s that she’s a mediocre politician at best. Her shortcomings are significant: […]

2) The “fire in the belly”question. Certainly, Mrs. Clinton shares her husband’s seemingly limitless ambition. It’s been the driving force behind their existence as individuals and as a couple for more than four decades. But I’m with Mike McCurry on this one: Hillary Rodham Clinton is going to be 67 years old on October 26. […]

3) It ain’t gonna be a coronation. […] If she can’t count on favorable press coverage during the choreographed rollout of a self-reverential memoir, what does that tell us about how she’d do in debates against a determined opponent? […]

4) Obama is leaving a mess. President Obama’s second term is complicating matters significantly for Hillary. His foreign policy, which Clinton helped direct for four years – is adrift. The situation has unraveled dangerously in Syria and now Iraq. The infamous “reset” with Russia is a joke. Obama’s job approval rating is on the slide, and not only on foreign policy. […]That will be a tough needle to thread politically (see point #1).

5) The country wants real change. America was mesmerized by Obama’s call for change in 2008. It was one of the narratives that propelled him over Hillary in the first place. Eight years later, Obama has failed to deliver much of what he promised on uniting the country and changing business as usual in Washington. As a result an even stronger populist, anti-establishment, anti-incumbent fervor is coursing through the electorate[…]

  1. Don’t count out ‘simple American stupidity’……..

    Remember; Americans re-elected Bush and Obama, so all bets are off.

    1. That is a good thing Millard. Lots of tall trees in them thar hills and guess who will be waiting with lots of rope.

  2. IF there is even another presidential election (mighty big IF), Hitlery can get elected if she really wanted to with or without the people’s approval. Just look at the last presidential election. It drives me nuts how people STILL refuse to get it. These Communist bastards aren’t elected, they are SELECTED!
