With the Benghazi hoax being debunked, Hillary now looks unstoppable.

[Nye Bevan]

Benghazi was pretty much the only potential obstacle to her candidacy, and now that has gone away, barring any health issues, the next Democratic primary season is likely to be pretty short.

1. Yes - well because the only possible stain on Hillary's liberal credentials

was Benghazi. I mean it's not like she's been generally pro-war or very chummy with wall street.

3. Wait... I thought Hillary had been serving as Secretary of State these last several years,

focusing mostly on foreign policy? If she has in fact been serving as Treasury Secretary, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, or serving on the Senate Finance Committee, doing essentially nothing while the big banks have been making out like bandits, then I apologize.

5. And these are the only things we can consider.....

when we think about a possible candidate?

[Nye Bevan]

8. Sorry, I don't have time to comment about every single issue in my posts (nt)

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. You have about 2 and a half years to think about them

before you decide if she's the only possible Democratic candidate. And yet you seem to have made your mind up already.

[daleanime]

14. But you have time to object to any issue....

you 'dislike', or is it 'find inconvenient'?

[el_bryanto]

7. She has a history - she's served in the Senate, as presumably you know

And her history when it comes to Wall Street is pretty clear.

15. Well then here ya go:

http://philebersole.wordpress.com/2013/12/17/hillary-clinton-tells-financiers-shes-on-their-side/

Clinton offered a message that the collected plutocrats found reassuring, according to accounts offered by several attendees, declaring that the banker-bashing so popular within both political parties was unproductive and indeed foolish.

Striking a soothing note on the global financial crisis, she told the audience, in effect: We all got into this mess together, and we’re all going to have to work together to get out of it.

Yeah "WE" got in this mess together.

2. Is this the same Hillary that backed Bush's wars and Obama's drones?

[former9thward]

4. The NYT article slams the State Department.

She did not get away clean.

[Iggo]

6. Okay, then.

2014.

[randome]

21. You didn't say that with quite enough 'oomph!'

22. YES!!!

[leftyohiolib]

9. yea another republican president

snark

[TwilightGardener]

10. Um...no. She's plenty stoppable. Did I fall into a time warp? 2007?

[Auntie Bush]

11. I sure hope you are right!

[Dawgs]

13. Just like 2008, when she was unstoppable.

[spin]

16. No more Clintons and no more Bushes.

[Demo_Chris]

17. She'll win the candidacy if she wants it...

She will have a tough fight for the oval office if Christie is the GOP pick.

[LWolf]

18. I can't stop her,

but I also won't be supporting her. I'm sure I can find a Democrat more worthy of my time, attention, and vote.

[FactBasedLifeform]

19. An unstoppable Hillary frightens all the right people.

My fantasy is her winning and nominating one of the Obamas to the Supreme Court.

[NuclearDem]

23. I wouldn't miss this post 4anything.

20. I enjoy reading prophecies and divination.

24. Benghazi aside, I think she was the clear front-runner for the job before the NYT piece

But I've watched presidential politics long enough to know that she's anything but unstoppable. Lots can happen between now and election time. Still, I expect she'll be the next President. Not my first choice, but I don't see anyone else lining up.
