Our new series, Hillary Watch 2016, chugs right along with this piece written by Lloyd Green in The Daily Beast:
Hillary Clinton in 2016: Be Afraid, Republicans
Here is the bold subhead:
Hillary Clinton’s polling ahead of GOP challengers in Texas and Kentucky. And then there’s the youth vote, minorities, women, and the white working class. She’s the one to beat in 2016, writes Lloyd Green, former opposition research counsel to the George H.W. Bush campaign.
Then the piece begins with this line:
Message to the Republican Party: be afraid, be very afraid.
To save you from having to read the entire piece (the mission of Hillary Watch 2016) here is my favorite line:
Unlike her husband, Hillary is personally disciplined. Unlike Barack Obama, she has demonstrated an ability to connect with beer-track voters across the country.
All you series readers have just learned something very important – “beer-track voters” are the new swing demographic. Who knew?
Now, recall in the second installment of Hillary Watch 2016 after featuring a Newsweek/Daily Beast “cover” proclaiming Hillary, “The most powerful woman in American history, I wrote:
All this slobbering leads one to conclude that Newsweek/Daily Beast, Editor-in- Chief, Tina Brown is gunning for U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom in a Hillary administration, one that no doubt, Ms. Brown will do everything in her power to ensure comes to fruition.
Do these two pieces within days of each other signal that I have uncovered a grand plan? If so, it is pretty shrewd of Ms. Brown to have found a Republican willing to assist in her quest for a future post in the Court of St. James.
But just you wait, for all this slobbering and drooling is only going to get worse, much worse.
So may I suggest bibs? How about official Hillary 2016 bibs with HRC embossed in royal gold lettering?
This fashion accessory will be desperately needed to keep Democrat’s designer duds from getting stained at fundraising and media events in the years ahead.
beer-track?
Yeah. Beer-track? People who drink beer and run track? I could never do that. Couldn’t run straight. Had to stop too often. If it was bear-track voters, it would be pretty scary, though. Can’t see bear hunters turning out for Shrill, though. Confusing.
I have a couple of feminist friends who are still very pro-Hilary and only grudgingly support Obama (because he opposes Republicans mostly). Just like many voted for Obama for “historic” reasons (i.e. first black President), there will be those that will vote for Hillary as the first female President.
You are so right about Hillary attracting voters as the first female president.
Here in detail is my take on what I call, “The Movement.”

You know, I’m just not feeling it. I think folks don’t hate her.
They don’t overly trust her inherent honesty, either. In the sense they aren’t going to lie to themselves about her. She might get their vote, she might not. Depends.
I think it is the media these folks will be factoring in, one way or the other, and its honesty over the next four years will impact whether they go the Brunhilde.
If they have reason to think poorly of the media or Hollywood…
God Almighty Forfend.
Do you mean to say that the single redeeming merit of an Obama presidency–no Hillary presidency–will be wasted?
Just for fun I thought I would check on Hillary bibs and sure enough:

Now we just need some adult size.
Look for the next Hillary Watch to showcase all the Hillary 2016 products for sale.
I agree with two lines from this… be afraid, be very afraid and She will be the one to beat in 2016.
Had she been arrested for castrating Old Bill, or at least trying, back when he was in the Whitehouse I might have a little more respect for her but I doubt it. God help us all if she becomes our next president.
