Political pundits convinced that Hillary Clinton will finally kick off her presidential campaign this Sunday.

Stand aside boys. Let me show you how it's done.
Courtesy of HuffPo:  

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) is expected to kick off her 2016 presidential campaign on Sunday. 

Clinton will announce her campaign through social media and a video, according to multiple outlets. 
She'll follow up her announcement with campaign travel to early-voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire.

I said "finally" in the headline not because I think that Hillary necessarily needs to make her official announcement right now, nor that she is in any way late doing so, but rather that since we have been talking about her running since 2012 that it SEEMS that it is a long time in coming.

Personally I don't blame her for taking her time, and actually think she could wait longer while sitting on the sidelines with a bowl of popcorn and watching the campaign of each newly declared GOP candidate implode before her.

I understand that Marco Rubio is up next and you just KNOW that is going to be a highly entertaining train wreck. And the problem with Hillary announcing Sunday is that nobody will hardly even notice.

As for Hillary herself she better put on her armored pantsuit because I have a feeling this thing is going to get brutal.

      You betcha. She did it to Mitt, she'll do it in spades to Hillary. But what ammunition does she have? Nothing that equals Hillary Clinton's announcement for the candidacy. Palin's so irrelevant that she'd have to jump i the dead lake and pretend to drown before anyone aimed a camera at her -- or a life preserver.

      RJ - you never know what goes on inside the idiot's echo chamber (head). Maybe this is the reason the moron skipped out on the big convention this weekend; they dis-invited her, and she's "thinking" (an oxymoron for her) "I'll fix them, you betcha". I would personally put up the $10,000 she was panicking over, just to watch Mrs. Clinton kick her scrawny pleather ass in public!

      Hillary has FAR more "protection" and political influence in her little finger than the grifter can even dream of. If she is smart she will STFU. If not, well we may finally learn all the secrets we've been waiting for. That goes for all these Republican bitches, in the klown Kar.

      Sarah is not going to run for president. Sarah is never going to run for president. Her game consists of making her donors think that she might run for president. The republicans did not invite her to their 2012 convention. That shows how much backing and support should would have from them. Could Sarah run as a third party candidate? Ask Ross Perot and Ralph Nader how that worked out. Sarah would be the spoiler who would ruin any chances that a republican would have of winning. She would capture the far right vote and nobody else's vote. She would suck the oxygen out of the room and turn debates into a circus. She has not gotten smarter. Substance abuse and her huge ego have made her dumber, not smarter. It would take a professional staff and lots of hard work to run as a third party candidate and Sarah does not have much of a staff. She does not do anything that requires hard work. Her game is to keep fooling her donors to contribute to her PAC which is the slush fund that pays for her continuing to fool her donors to contribute more money. It beats hard work, you betcha.

  11. She needs a makeover.

    I'd like to see her hair cut shorter, like Penny on Big Bang Theory.

    Something softer and more wispy.

      Oh boy, I so agree with this. She MUST have a make over. She is a lovely woman, but her hair style choices are dismal for the most part. I love her in short hair.

      Unfortunately, how she looks will be front and center, unlike a male candidate, so she best take care to remove that part of the inevitable analysis that will come.

      She has a great new haircut and flattering do. A little nip, tuck, and filler was done to freshen up her look. She had some really nice clothes when she was Sec of State that gave her a woman of the world look. She is ready to walk the walk and talk the talk. Substance, style, and experience.

      I doubt that her pantsuits were poly ever in a day.

      Only a man or a Clinton basher refers to her pants suits as polyester. Obviously, Hillary can afford designer pants suits and her style is tasteful and AGE appropriate, unlike the pleather and lace and the rest of the tacky 'Harper Valley' clothing line Palin parades around in.

      Delete
    4. Well, I can't tell materials content from a photo. All I can say is some of those pant suits from ages ago looked polyester.

      I haven't seen her hair or make-up lately. I'm going by that photo G posted and I would assume he would use something a bit up to date. The photo is not flattering.

      She doesn't need a hard look to convince people she is a strong woman. She needs a softer look to tone down the hardline hawkishness that has been her signature.

      I'm just saying less tweed, more chiffon.

      I'm sure she's savvy enough to get herself a top notch stylist to prepare her for the scrutiny this upcoming campaign is going to bring.

      I hope.

      Delete
    5. I agree that in some ways, it is not a very flattering haircut. She has a shorter one that I think is very attractive.

      The thing is, as a woman only a few years younger than Hillary, I so admire her confidence in wearing a style that she finds comfortable and practical for *her.* A woman confident and comfortable in her own skin is very attractive.

      I remember reading that when traveling, especially in hot areas, she found it very practical to wear her hair longer as she could easily pull it back and put it up for a quick and practical more formal look without a lot of fussing.

      I would not dare wear my hair longer with a hairband holding it back from my face. I wish I had Hillary's confidence in her appearance.

      With snow still coming down in places across the country, doesn’t a trip to
      sunny Miami sound inviting after this long winter?

      Friend, if you see a Miami escape in your future, then I need you to do two things right now:

      Mark

    After months of scrutiny and anticipation, Hillary Clinton will formally announce that she is seeking the Democratic nomination for the presidency on Sunday before heading on the campaign trail to meet with voters.

    The former Secretary of State has already and will continue to walk a fine line between criticizing actions of the Obama administration and paving her own path forward when it comes to issues of foreign policy. So far, Clinton has remained relatively quiet on issues from government surveillance to drones to trade agreements. But now that her campaign is formally launching, here are four issues Clinton will have to address:

    Hillary to Launch Campaign This Weekend With ‘Insane’ Fundraising Push

    ...After the announcement comes the deluge.

    Hillary Clinton will announce her presidential campaign this Sunday, sources in the Clinton operation tell The Daily Beast.

    After that, the nascent campaign will embark on a fundraising push that the Clinton camp says will dwarf anything seen in the history of presidential politics.

    “They are going to raise in one week what some Republican presidential candidates are going to raise the entire cycle,” said one Clinton aide.

      And that is the only thing this charade of an election is about: grabbing every last nickle from people who can afford it least.

      The media will focus upon all that shiny, shiny money... and "forget" about her illegal (and enriching) stock trades, her relationship with Coe's theocratic "Fellowship" and the belief that members of The Family can DO NO WRONG, and scandal after scandal.

      If you are rich, you simply get richer. If you are bought, does it matter whether it is the Saudis, the Kochs, the Zionists, or Wall Street? With the Prosperity Gospel, it is all God's Will, and who are we to question the sources of the wealth?

  28. Does anyone remember when then-sitting Veep Dick Cheney, plus Newt Gingrich and half the elders of the GOP were, in 2008, stating that Hillary Clinton would be "unbeatable" as a candidate?

    The most evil men in the GOP were essentially going to the media and saying, "Don't throw me into the briar patch with her!"

      That's why we have Jeb, Cruz, Paul and now Rubio announcing. I don't see too many more. They are holding back waiting for 2020 or even 2024. They don't want to go up against Hillary so they are willing to throw in the stupid, extreme and unelectables to make a show and take them out for the future.

      This will be the second run for some of them. They lose out this time I don't see them trying for a third. That will leave the field open in the future for those untainted by a try and loss.
