Top 10 Reasons Why a Hillary Clinton Presidency Isn't Guaranteed

Some of these "reasons" (Benghazi/the e-mails/she's a woman/the Republican nominee) are pure bullshit, others are plausible, and #5 is spot-on!



I normally wouldn't upload a WatchMojo video, as they usually deal with the entertainment industry, but this one's less than a week old, so what the hey?

I laughed, for the one usual reason.

when everyone is predicting that Trump, Carson and Fiorena will fade away., I'm still seeing a Jeb! victory, and I don't see how either a clear path for either Bernie or HRC, especially given that Jeb! has so much money.

this e-mail "scandal" has me concerned; how the press plays that up and how it virtually ignored the WPE's going AWOL in the '70's and how he ignored "Bin Laden determined to attack U.S., probably with planes" in 2001. (WPE: "You covered your ass&quot .

A Jeb! presidency would be just as bad as the WPE, but without the humor, I think

Inayne Rand, her inspiration, would make much more sense if Republicans were crazy enough to seriously contemplate it.

I think they are more than ready for the same reason that Hillary will not win the WH.
They want change because they are fed up with politics as usual. But just because they would go for a woman because she represents change does not mean just any woman, especially one who represents no change.

The same thing was said about the US not being ready for a black president...but this black president promised change (but delivered little of it). Which had the effect of making people even more fed up with the same old shit.

The ideal race in the GE for the PTB would be Clinton/Bush, because it would guarantee no change in the way things are done.
If Sanders wins it they will run Carson or Florina or both to see if they can make it about race and gender to beat Sanders.

from the Usual Suspects in the 'business as usual' Beltway. Posing as an underdog, though we all must surely know by now that countries rather favour female leaders these days. If not numerically, in terms of national clout. Golda Meir in Israel set the stage, though Thatcher was an object lesson in the catastrophe that can ensue from permitting the media to steamroll their own choice into power; but now there is Angela Merkel in Germany and various other female heads of state in Europe I believe. Norway has a female PM.
