How many of you think, with the Bullshit no facts,

comments R-money has been making over the last few weeks that he is laying the ground work for another run at it? I think he is and the Repukes would be just dumb enough to nominate him..and the money is there for him if he wants it with the bullshit billionaires like the Kochs....

if he was going to run again he would say things to appeal to wingnuts but he came out in opposition to that anti gay bill in arizona.

... would actually go ballistic. They demand and sincerely want the Palinesque brand of crazy this time (and I hope that they will get it).

I think of Reagan's loss in the 1976 primary and then his landslide in 1980. But there are very few examples of a losing candidate coming back to win. Nixon 1960 and 1968. Dole was part of the losing ticket in 1976 and won the nomination in 1996 to lose handily. Mondale was part of the losing ticket in 1980 and got clobbered again in 1984. FDR lost as VEEP in 1924 and then won big in 1932.

Hate to tell the Republicans, but Hillary 2016 is more like Reagan 1980 than Romney is.

Think about it. Like Reagan, she only lost a primary.

Plus she will doubtless be running on a platform of Reaganomics, which is the new American standard.

Clinton always was adept at out-Republicaning the Republicans.

she has billionaires waiting to back her campaign...(had to be careful how I said that) butt I'm hoping for maybe a Biden/Warren ticket or Sanders/Warren wouldn't that be nice. Talk about taking our country back..Campaigns like these would have to be supported by the voters cause certainly no corporate money would be flowing their way.

but there is zero chance the Republicans will endorse him for another presidential run. I don't know who they've got, but it ain't him.

Will the high rollers think that Mitt Romney will give them a better deal? Will Jeb Bush be their great champion?
Will Scott Walker be their best investment?

Doesn't matter. Works out all the same. Throw enough money at it, a little Fox news and it doesn't matter what dog they bet on.

Less I forget to mention....
