Political Chatter: Hillary Clinton is talk of the town
Hillary Clinton was the subject that consumed the political talk shows, as questions continued to be raised about Karl Roves comments regarding her health.
While Republicans attacked the noncandidate, Democrats defended her but also expressed concern over her strategy so far in advance of the next presidential election.
If you missed the Sunday political talk shows, well get you up to speed on the latest events and opinion in Washington with this comprehensive roundup of all things political:
Hillary Clinton: Its widely accepted that it hasnt been a good couple of weeks for Hillary Clinton. She is being attacked by Republicans over various foreign policy problems, including Benghazi and Boko Haram; her approval ratings are sliding, Monica Lewinsky spoke out, and Bill Clintons vocal defense could be making things worse.
And now some Democrats are questioning aspects of her strategy.

(111,261 posts)They have an inflated idea of their own importance to the universe and any distant threat to that causes them to be completely flummoxed.
The best thing to do with that particularly inbred and insular crowd is to ignore them. They lost all relevance back in the 70s.

(11,001 posts)media is now giving credibility to his insane rantings. Others follow suit until it becomes a major talking point. We need a majpr refuter, one who destroys their lies immediately and makes them look like the liars that they are. Pelosi is reluctant to put Grayson out there, but I say let him at them. Enough of this nice guy *&$#.

They can try to make people give up Hope-but they Can't change fact.

And when it's Karl Rove doing the smearing, well...I can smell the shit a country mile away!
Any Democrat doing any carping is hoping for an open primary where they can rise as the Dark Horse.
That happens rarely--not everyone has the charm and charisma of a Barack Obama. In fact, few do.
We, The People will only pull a fresh faced, good looking Senator with scant experience "every so often." Same deal with an UNTESTED governor.
Most days, we like an old pol like LBJ, Dick Nixon, Truman Defeats Dewey, and even Ronnie (Wasn't he a hard-hearted asshole as CA governor?) Raygun--a well-known face, in our living rooms and on our movie screens for what seemed like forever.
We tend to prefer the known, most times if not always.
