George Clooney thinks Hillary Clinton will be 'very tough to beat' in 2016

Hillary Clinton hasn't announced whether she's going to run for president in 2016, but that's not stopping George Clooney.

The Oscar winner is already supporting the former secretary of state if she makes a bid for the White House.

"I think she'd be very tough to beat now," Clooney told me exclusively this weekend at the BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. "And you know, all of the things that people thought of her as polarizing in 2008, don't exist at all (anymore)."

I have thus far avoided the Hillary-Warren Wars, but I couldn't resist when I saw this!

I'm not pro-Hillary, anti-Hillary, pro-Warren or anti-Warren (in the context of 2016).

But I think there's an element on the right that will find things about BOTH of those women (and any other candidate the Democratic Party puts up) that would serve as their argument for how polarizing the Democrats are.

It's just what they do.

I'd be surprised if the "lbm" doesn't have a "Benghazi expert witness" (alleged eye-witness) all over the 2016 campaign who, after the "election", is shown to have been in prison at the time of the attack.

Then an virtually unknown black man named Barack Obama stomped her

Go back and review what happened, she told the world she would have it wrapped up by Super Tuesday. She lost the 1st contest and her reaction was to cry on cue for the camera for the 2nd contest. When the Clinton's realized this was a fight they could lose they went full tilt on Jeremiah Wright & Bill Ayers


She is a weak candidate before the Benghazi witch hunt, and nothing solidifies the GOP like running against a Clinton
