re: #220 A Mom Anon

Yeah, I really wish there was someone else running who stood a chance of winning. Hillary is smart and I have no doubt she’d do a (mostly) good job in the office, but the bullshit that they’re just waiting to hurl around is going to be horrible and sad.

Thing is, I don’t know who could really challenge her and win. Sigh.

Based on the current offering of the GOP, I’d say nobody.

Unless someone comes along pretty much out of nowhere between now and this time next year - when the 2016 campaign will begin in earnest - the GOP is looking at upgrading from clown car to clown 747. It’s the same old bunch of reactionaries, bigots, atavists and fools.

I suppose Jeb Bush could challenge Mrs. Clinton, but the reaction of the GOP base - and by that, I mean the wingnuts - would be tepid at best, and most likely, outright hostile to a Jeb Bush candidacy.
