The problem with Hillary campaigning for you is that she's got to give a speech. That slow, grating. dull monotone and that voice make nails on a blackboard sound good.
Let's see. In previous posts you've indicated her medical problems, called her an alcoholic, and now you're sharing your expertise in speech & speech pathology - very impressive indeed.
Let's not forget that she doesn't think businesses and corporations create jobs. Impressive.
You took that line completely out of context. That is exactly what Fox News did with it.

"... Our most vulnerable families have the least support to do the most important job in the world, raising the next generation. That is not how it’s supposed to be in America. This is the country where if you work hard, like our dads did, and like both Martha and I did, you can make it. And each generation is supposed to have it a little bit better than the one before. Martha Coakley understands that because she has lived it. She will support earned sick time, so no mom or dad has to choose between getting the job done and taking care of a sick child or an ailing parent. She will work to make early learning and pre-kindergarten available to every child so that it’s not the children of those who are already privileged who get a good start in life and come to school prepared to learn, it’s your child and every child who deserves the same opportunities.
"Yes, and she will fight for the minimum wage, something that is long overdue. And don't let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs. They always say that. I've been through this. My husband gave working families a raise in the 1990s. I voted to raise the minimum wage. And guess what? Millions of jobs were created or paid better and more families were more secure. That's what we want to see here, and that's what we want to see across the country.
"And don't let anybody, don’t let anybody tell you, that, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know, that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried. That has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly. You know, one of the things my husband says, when people say, ‘What did you bring to Washington?’ He says, ‘Well, I brought arithmetic.’ And part of it was, part of it was, he demonstrated why trickle-down should be consigned to the trash bin of history. More tax cuts for the top and for companies that ship jobs overseas while taxpayers and voters are stuck paying the freight just doesn't add up. Now, that kind of thinking might win you an award for outsourcing excellence, but Massachusetts can do better than that. Martha understands it. She knows you have to create jobs from everybody working together and taking the advantages of this great state and putting them to work.
"The other thing about Martha, is not only what she will do but what she will never do. She’ll never waffle on a woman’s right to make her own reproductive health care decision. She will never shame and judge a woman for decisions that are complex and deeply personal, decisions that belong between a woman, her family, her faith and her doctor; not with her boss or a politician. … "

I posted the statement. If you still don't get it, I cannot help you.
I bet her liquor store has created a job or two and Hillary has played a big part.

Still a ways off, but sounding more and more like we could have another Clinton vs. Bush election. First Barbara last spring and now W in interview aired over the weekend have suggested that Jeb could/should run...it was a big reversal for Barbara who in the past had said there have been enough Bushes in the white house. Sounds like the family is lining up behind Jeb.
Rick Perry spent the weekend in NH, fueling speculation that he's going to run again.
I expect this to fly over alloak's and mule's heads.

I read the whole thing in context and it is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard a mainstream political figure say in this country. Which is why she backtracked almost immediately. Does she believe it? Obviously not. She knows full well that the private sector creates jobs. But she was so caught up in her left wing rabble rousing she said something absurdly dumb. Which she does a lot. Those of you who think she has a clear path to the White House really have your heads in the sand.

Mule if you didn't get your news exclusively from Fox News you might actually be able to tell reality from your own fantasy's.
A simple Google search backs up my assertion from multiple sources so pick your poison. I could easily have quoted several more but I think you get the point.
If you don't like the 150 year old moderate Atlantic how about the nonpartisan Pew Research Journalism Project
http://www.journalism.org/2014/10/21/political-polarization-media-habits/
Pretty much shows Conservatives get the majority of their news from Fox News while Liberals don't have one main source and tend to skip around. So your repetitive mantra about Fox News being the "most watched and trusted news network" is actually true.
If you are an old Conservative. 😉
For the 13 democrats Hillary campaigned the most for, every one lost in the last election.
Hillary’s own democratic party rejected her 2008 bid for the presidency.
Hillary Clinton: A Profile In Failure
Donald Lambro | Sep 17, 2014
WASHINGTON - The nightly news shows made it very clear this week that they've gotten behind Hillary Clinton's expected 2016 campaign for president.
The network news programs gave Clinton's trip to Iowa the gushing, royal treatment on Sunday, repeating it again on Monday, as she appeared before a throng of cheering Democrats where her party's first presidential nominating caucuses will be held. The coverage of her speech, which was loaded with empty platitudes and little else that was newsworthy, bordered on the worshipful.
That she has the 2016 Democratic nomination virtually sewed up at this juncture tells us everything we need to know about the sad state of the Democratic Party today.
She is manifestly ill-equipped to be president and has shown no talents to be a chief executive of anything, let alone the most powerful nation on the face of the earth.
No one can name a major achievement in her career as First Lady, senator from New York, or Secretary of State. Indeed, her role in all three jobs has been marked by failure, incompetence and grandstanding.
When President Clinton put her in charge of health care reform, she glued together a hopelessly incomprehensible Rube Goldberg contraption that no one could understand, or that could pass muster within her own party on Capitol Hill.
Republicans hit the road, making its defeat their No. 1 issue, and it wasn't a hard sell.
I remember a newsmaker health care panel I chaired at the time to discuss her plan, and the chief lobbyist of the politically powerful AARP told me it was so complicated and murky even he couldn't fully understand how it would work.
Her plan was so bad, House Democratic leaders never even brought it up for a vote in committee, let alone bring it to the House floor. It was a humiliating experience for the Clinton administration and a devastating defeat for a First Lady who was clearly in over her head on health policy.
But the little-known fact about Hillary's years in the White House was that she was often at odds with her husband over key issues and policies.
During that time, President Clinton worked closely with the centrist-leaning Democratic Leadership Council which he had chaired during his time as governor. Their agenda was focused on expanding trade, reforming welfare, and championing non-union, charter school, education reforms -- positions that were fiercely opposed by the party's liberal base.
DLC leaders at the time told me that Hillary, who was far more liberal than her husband, opposed their centrist agenda within the White House.
Obviously, Clinton dismissed her complaints when he expanded the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), signed Republican legislation cutting the capital gains tax, and enacted the GOP's welfare-to-work reforms.
Then came Hillary's Senate years, choosing to run in the overwhelmingly Democratic state of New York, not in Arkansas where she and her husband established their political careers.
Can anyone name one major legislative initiative that she made during her time as a senator? One legislative reform that she authored, fought for and managed through Congress?
Yet by 2008, she believed she was ready to run the country and lead the Free World. Democrats didn't think so.
In the first major nominating contest that year, Hillary finished a humiliating third in the Iowa caucuses -- behind Obama and then-Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina. Her candidacy was seen as presumptuous and her aloof, humorless personality on the stump didn't help, either.
But President Obama made her his secretary of State, despite the fact that she had no foreign policy experience whatsoever. But, then, neither did Obama, who had been an untested freshman senator of no accomplishment for a mere three years before he ran for president.
She quickly demonstrated that she had little or no skills in foreign policy statecraft, focusing instead on making lots of speeches, and building her travel record -- leaving the details of running the State Department and its embassies and consulates to others.
That led to the deadly catastrophe in Benghazi, Libya, where our ambassador and three other Americans were killed in a terrorist attack that State Department officials initially tried to coverup as a tame Muslim protest that just got out of hand.
Numerous investigations and congressional hearings were held, revealing the heart-breaking pleas from U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens for beefed up security at the besieged consulate -- which never came.
Since she stepped down from her post at the end of Obama's first term, and after writing a book about her four years at State, Hillary's had many opportunities to address the enormous problems that afflict our country under this administration.
Start with the weak, jobless, underperforming Obama economy, about which Hillary, incredibly, has had little or nothing to say. A Pew Poll late last month found 58 percent of Americans surveyed said "jobs are difficult to find."
Median family income has fallen from $53,100 in 2007 to $46,700 in 2013. About one-third of young adults, the so-called millennials, still live with their parents. The U.S. economy is stuck in a slow growth quagmire of less than 2 percent annually.
Hillary's government-centered solution at the steak fry in Indianola, Iowa Sunday sounded almost word for word like Obama's failed agenda: "…we are for raising the minimum wage, for equal pay for equal work, for making college and technical training affordable, for growing the economy to benefit everyone."
But raising the minimum wage would kill 500,000 to one million jobs, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says. How would she produce stronger economic growth, create more jobs and raise incomes? She doesn't say.
Her husband did it by cutting tax rates on investors that triggered a wave of capital investment in new businesses and pounded the unemployment rate to 4 percent. But in a party that wants to raise taxes, it's doubtful Hillary will be taking his advice.
Why should anyone vote for Hillary?
For the 13 democrats Hillary campaigned the most for, every one lost in the last election.

Hillary's government-centered solution at the steak fry in Indianola, Iowa Sunday sounded almost word for word like Obama's failed agenda: "…we are for raising the minimum wage, for equal pay for equal work, for making college and technical training affordable, for growing the economy to benefit everyone."
But raising the minimum wage would kill 500,000 to one million jobs, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says. How would she produce stronger economic growth, create more jobs and raise incomes? She doesn't say.
Her husband did it by cutting tax rates on investors that triggered a wave of capital investment in new businesses and pounded the unemployment rate to 4 percent. But in a party that wants to raise taxes, it's doubtful Hillary will be taking his advice.
Why should anyone vote for Hillary?
And yet the GOP has nobody on the horizon who can beat her. go figure.
I said it before and I'll say it again....Chris Christie is the ONLY chance for Republicans, but they will be too stubborn to nominate him for being too moderate. I don't think he could beat Hillary but it'd be close. I love Christie and he would get my vote. While I may not agree with all of his politics, I trust that he can get sh*t done, instead of the gridlock we see now. If Hillary gets elected, we'll see the same BS by Republicans blocking every single thing she tries to do, just out of spite, while the only ones who suffer are the American people. Politics as usual I guess.
I agree that Christie would be a great candidate AND probably a competent and effective president. I hope he runs and I disagree that he has no chance. There is no obvious front runner this year. It is a myth that the GOP nominates hard core right wingers. They nominate middle of the road conservatives who are tarred as far right wingers by the Democratic party. Just as the Democrats used to be tarred as far left extremists back in the Republican salad days. Sooner or later a good straight talking Republican candidate will thread the needle as Clinton did back in 92 and the Democrats will not get away with it. Given the likely hangover after 8 years of Democratic misrule, I think Christie could get the nomination AND win the presidency.
Doug, I am sorry but you are out of your mind if you are saying that the clown lineup of candidates the Republicans have offered the last two cycles for President aren't far right wing lunitics!!!!! Did you even watch one of the Republicanss primary debates the last time around????? They were cpmplete embarraccments, every single one of them. They ended up having to settle for Romney and he couldn't even beat a ripe for the picking Obama. They aee offering pretty much the same clown possy this time around. They will probably settle on Christie but only after they make him flip all of his views to the extreme right the same way they did in the last two Presidential elections. Wait and see and they will lose again because it is a losing formual that they continiue to repeat.

If the shoe fits, wear it!!!
The Dems didn't create Romney's history, they just exposed it. It was all documented facts! He made his own bed and couldn't flip his way ou!t of it

He may be the best candidate with any chance for the GOP but he has too many warts to win a National Election. I am a NYC transplant and read the NY papers daily and I can't see him keeping his cool in the heat of a Presidential election as he is a hot head when challenged.
His hard core NJ tough guy act will not play out well with the majority of the country IMHO. He loses his cool anytime anyone challenges him and goes into his Tony Soprano persona.
Personally I hope he gets the nomination as it will be fascinating to watch the Hillary campaign people tear him apart. It would be political death by a thousand cuts.

Don't count out Jeb Bush just yet.
That said, I still don't think Hillary is a foregone conclusion. I still have this gut feeling that there is a dark horse out there for each party and the final election will be between two candidates who most of us have barely heard of, if at all. The midterms only strengthened my gut feel on this.

Then why didn't Holder prosecute him for the felonious acts that he had committed? They allowed
him t go free and even run for President!

You're not alone. I'm sticking with my prediction that Hillary will not be on the ballot come Election Day. I hope it's Ben Carson vs ______________. The thought that 2016 will be another Bush vs.
another Clinton depresses me.

Unless Hillary is on her Death Bed she will run IMHO as Bubba will push her hard.
The stars are aligned for Hillary
1. She seems to be the overwhelming choice according to the polls so should breeze through the primaries
2. She has Bubba to campaign for her which should not be underestimated as he had one of the highest approval ratings of any President since Truman when his second term ended.
3. There is no clear cut favorite in the GOP who can beat her at this point.
Jeb Bush could run but I think he may suffer from the failures of his brothers. It will be hard to get rid of that G.W. stink I think.
Ben Carson may be a favorite of some Conservative but can't see him winning nomination as he has zero experience and his views on gay marriage, abortion and other issues will end up getting him labeled as a right wing extremist IMHO.
A prediction...
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/11/why_hillary_wont_run.html
LOL a prediction why Hillary won't run from the right wing American Thinker? what a surprise.
Here is a more reasonable prediction from a Conservative who gives reasonable rational why she will run and win.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/08/03/16-reasons-why-hillary-clinton-will-win-2016.html
Based on what the GOP has to run against her at this point it is a no brainer for her to run IMHO.
I'm not sure that being a woman and being popular in Hollywood would be enough. Likeability is probably the most important attribute in a candidate and Hillary just ain't got it. Outside of liberals, of course.
Why does the GOP candidate continue to enter into the equation?

Liberal's, Minority, Women and Gay vote. The exact same demographic Obama won with.
Come on Alloak you seem like a reasonably logical thinking Conservative so you don't think the candidate the GOP runs against Hillary will have no bearing on the results?

I'm not talking about the results. I'm talking about what bearing that has on the selection of
your candidate.
Ben Carson may be a favorite of some Conservative but can't see him winning nomination as he has zero experience and his views on gay marriage, abortion and other issues will end up getting him labeled as a right wing extremist IMHO.
And?.....If those views are bothersome, you probably wouldn't vote for any GOP candidate. Given.
The key will be to win the base and turn out more Conservative voters, not to appease groups that won't vote for you anyway. Carson is too smart not to realize this.
