Hillary Clinton officially launching her presidential run on Sunday

via social media. 

 

3 thoughts: Does this mean Biden isn't interested? Assuming Biden doesn't run, will Clinton land an endorsement from President Obama? Will anyone challenge her in a primary?

Why does she have to announce something we knew was going to happen anyways?

If she's announcing that she'll be announcing isn't that technically announcing?

She didn't announce anything yet- this is coming from an anonymous source, but Andrea Mitchell is reporting it, so I'm assuming the source is solid.

We can only hope and pray a formidable foe emerges in this race. We don't need to travel back in time to the 90's with a family dynasty of corrupt politicians (also see: The Bush Family). C'mon people, step up. Let's no be subjected to the slimy greasy special interest lobbyist favoritism of Hillary or Jeb. We need a new, revolutionary voice. Time to overhaul D.C.

"Assuming Biden doesn't run, will Clinton land an endorsement from President Obama?"

Is it customary for a sitting president to make a primary endorsement? I always thought sitting presidents remained neutral until the end of primary season, and only then offered to campaign with the nominee if the nominee wished.

Will there be a primary? I'm wondering if anyone would seriously challenge her. Who has the capability of raising the cash to keep up with her?  Warren (who I love) has said she isn't interested, and I believe her.

There will be a primary. Martin O'Malley is running, hell or high water. HRC's nomination might be a fait accompli, but there will be a primary.

Obama won't publicly back anyone until the convention.

 

So, once you are president, you are always referred to as President whomever. If she was to win, how would the first couple be referred to? President and President Clinton? Presidents Clinton? President and first president? Yes, I am being goofy, but I am curious.

President Clinton and President Rodham-Clinton

That's reminiscent of Mitt Romney not being able to contemplate marriage certificates for same sex couples.  "How will you fill in the bride and groom boxes?  It will be CHAOS!"

I think the Clintons will be known as President and Exonerated President Clinton.

President Clinton and First President Clinton.

I like that.

How about The President and First Ladykiller?

Or the Presidents Clinton?

I'm always amazed how Hillary has so much support from the youth and gay votes. Her husband streamlined plenty of anti-gay laws (she did stay beside him through a public affair!!), and for anyone in their 20s, if she wins, the same two families will have governed the country for their entire lives except for 8 years. Talk about progressive!

 Blah, blah, blah.

Meaning that was an anti-gay thing for her to do?

^ The ignorance of the 90's is coming back to haunt us. That "blah, blah, blah" is exactly what allowed Bill Clinton to pass dozens of anti-gay laws and get into bed with people worse than his underage interns: the corrupt cronies of special interests groups, as well as foreign nations sponsoring worldwide terrorism and the suppression of women's rights. 

"Say NO to the Bush and Clinton Dynasties in 2016" should be our nation's next rallying cry.

To the centrist, 22 is underage.

Maybe journalists will go with initials, like with the Bushes, when Hilary is president.  HR Clinton and WJ Clinton, although I guess it would work on more levels if they went with his nickname, BJ Clinton.

Underage?

Who was underage?

What are you talking about?

Who was underage?

I wonder who's on HRC's shortlist of potential running mates.  Couldn't imagine my former governor Martin O'Malley being considered. 

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 4/10/15 at 2:44pm

Oh I'd consider him.  I'd consider him long and hard.

Martin O'Malley apparently is in favor of gun control.

I wonder if that would make O'Malley our first out bi(ceps) VP?
