Hillary Clinton
 
Chances of her becoming the President ?

Hoofless_Wonder 06-30-2015 12:29 AM

Hillary is currently even money or 11 to 10 offshore. This is down significantly from the holidays when she was -230 or better.

Personally, I think her chances are less than 10%, based on the economy unraveling within the year, and of course the hard sale of getting past her lying, bitchiness, and penchant for failure.

She's the Clinton without the charisma....

She at this point about 2/5 because the GOP is unlikely to nominate anyone who can beat her. Thinking that somebody like Cruz or Rubio or Walker or Carlson can beat her is just wishful thinking on the part of conservatives. At some point, the GOP has got to sit down and add up the votes of the various possible nominees against her. Something at this point they are unwilling to do. They are having too much fun bashing her. All that is doing is strengthening the resolve of her hard core supporters.
Today Christie gets into the race. It will be interesting to see how he does. He is one of the few republicans that have an outside chance of beating her. And I do see a path for him to get the nomination, but it requires a good deal of luck, a strong showing in New Hampshire and Jeb Bush falling flat on his face. Christie's time may have already come and gone. 2012 was his year. I think he had a good shot(50/50) at beating Obama then. A better shot than he has of beating Hillary. I give him about 35-40% chance of beating Hillary if he can get the nomination.

I cringe at any of these possibilities.

I give Jeb and Rubio a shot at beating her. I don't see how Christie survives the primaries but I can see a slim but frightenly real chance of Santorum coming out with the nomination. My dream, however, is a Paul / Sanders general election. No matter who wins the country at least gets a long overdue injection of new ideology.

.

Ted Cruz isn't going to be the nominee, so stop dreaming.

Yeah, Rubio isn't a threat...that's why her camp is most worried about him.

Santorum is a good debater, but he won't be the nominee. Chris Christie? He's in the race? What a waste of time. Does he even have supporters anymore?

Agreed he has been damaged goods with Republicans since Sandy. Should have waited another 4 or 8 if at all.

It's so freakin' ridiculous that something like the Obama hug after Sandy or that even more ridiculous lane closure scandal supposedly negates Christie's chances.

Tell me why either of those two things means something beyond fodder for the press and internet chat rooms?

Saratoga Mike has been up Christie's giant ass (less giant now) since the beginning of time...so he should be the first to respond.

Thanks for the recognition - I've been right about CC for a long time. I admit when I'm wrong - I said NY would never elect Hillary as their Senator in 2000 (idiotic call).

It wasn't Sandy and it wasn't the lane closure. He never had a shot.

Why?

2) There's no path to the White House for him. Support in Iowa? No way. Support in NH? A smidge. South Carolina? None. Florida? Yes, some. What does that look like? Right, Rudy's path to the WH (i.e., all-in on Florida).

3) Donors fleeing. Jeb entering the race was not a good thing for CC.

4) Lots of baggage - Romney people vetted him and said "no way" (Halpern).

5) At this point, he wouldn't even carry his own state against Hillary.

Ridiculous? Of course it is but it is the GOP we are talking about.
