2016: Hillary Clinton May Delay Campaign by Nobody: 7:32am On Jan 30, 2015 |
Hillary Clinton, expecting no major challenge for the Democratic nomination, is strongly considering delaying the formal launch of her presidential campaign until July, three months later than originally planned, top Democrats tell POLITICO. The delay from the original April target would give her more time to develop her message, policy and organization, without the chaos and spotlight of a public campaign. A Democrat familiar with Clinton’s thinking said: “She doesn’t feel under any pressure, and they see no primary challenge on the horizon. If you have the luxury of time, you take it.” Advisers said the biggest reason for the delay is simple: She feels no rush. BOSTON, MA - DECEMBER 04: Former United States Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks on stage at the 2014 Massachusetts Conference for Women at Boston Convention & Exhibition Center on December 4, 2014 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by Lisa Lake/Getty Images for Massachusetts Conference for Women) “She doesn’t want to feel pressured by the press to do something before she’s ready,” one adviser said. “She’s better off as a noncandidate. Why not wait?” A huge advantage to waiting would be that Clinton postpones the time when she goes before the public as a politician rather than as a former secretary of state. Polling by both Democrats and Republicans shows that one of her biggest vulnerabilities is looking political. So the Clinton camp has enjoyed watching her recede from the headlines in recent weeks as Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney have amped up their potential candidacies. One option being considered would be to announce an exploratory committee earlier — perhaps in April, at the beginning of a new fundraising quarter, in the time frame when insiders originally expected her to launch her campaign. Then the actual kickoff would be in July, near the start of the next quarter. By launching at the beginning of a quarter, supporters would have the maximum amount of time to generate a blockbuster total for their first report. The delay would pose complications for the infrastructure that has been built in anticipation of her candidacy. Ready for Hillary, a super PAC that expects to go out of business once the campaign begins, now may have to fund its data-gathering and grass-roots activities longer than expected. The danger — and a reason the plan could be scrapped — is that the comparatively leisurely rollout could fuel complaints that Clinton sees the nomination fight as a coronation. Already, her allies are contemplating the possibility that she might not have to debate before the general election. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/exclusive-hillary-clinton-may-delay-campaign-114714.html?ml=po |

I'd like Sen Elizabeth Warren to throw her hat in the ring just to spice things up in the Democrats camp, although she won't be a match for Hillary but it'll be nice to keep her on her toes. |

Obiagelli:In hypothetical match ups against some potential Repub nominees, she is beating them by double digits I'd say she has a 65% chance of being the next president. |

Missy89:I know. The powers that be always ensure that a puppet of the MIC emerges as the nominee of both parties. They've also effectively frozen out 3rd party/independent nominees from the general election debates, since 1992. The only question left is who will be her VP? |

Michele Flournoy could be the first cabinet nominee in a Hillary presidency. She will likely be the first female Defense Secretary. |

New Jersey Senator Cory Booker There’s something to be said for tabbing a vice president who’d have a legitimate shot to win a presidential election of their own someday. On drive, charisma and content of character alone, Cory Booker certainly fits the bill, to say nothing of his youth — even if he served two terms as vice president, he’d be just 55 years old in 2024. His success story as underdog candidate to mayor of Newark to United States senator is well known to nationally-aware Democrats, and his selection would inject some undeniable enthusiasm into the campaign. After all, this is somebody who’s just as at ease unapologetically championing progressive politics as he is making shoddy Seinfeld parodies with Republican Governor Chris Christie. California Attorney-General: Kamala Harris The daughter of a Jamaican-origin father – Stanford University economics professor Donald Harris, and Indian-origin mother – Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, a bosom cancer specialist who emigrated to the US from Chennai, Harris has established her credentials in no uncertain manner as a strong upholder of justice in her current position, fighting for the rights of immigrants, both legal and illegal, and winning some landmark cases, on both the criminal and civil front, as well as initiating anti-hate crime laws. Harris has the potential to not only become a strong candidate for Governor of California, but also become a likely candidate for the White House, beginning with the 2024 polls. She would in eight years’ time become an extremely high-profile candidate to be a running mate for a potential Democratic candidate, or be an outright candidate herself to be elected President. |

I believe She will win the democratic party primary but won't be easy for her to defeat Jeb Bush the potential candidate of the republican. |

According to the latest polls, 59% of California Democrats want Senator Clinton to be their nominee. Senator Elizabeth Warren placed 2nd with 17%, and incumbent VP Joe Biden came third with 14%. |
