The New York Times: When it comes to Clinton, it's all the speculation that's fit to print. (HRC)

[DeepModem Mom]

Two things it's never hard to find are Democrats who think the sky is falling and friends of prominent politicians who'd like their friends to run for president, and the media is doing its damnedest to turn this into a major story about the 2016 Democratic primary.

The New York Times, of course, wants to be sure it's a leader in this field, and so we get "Big-Name Plan B's for Democrats Concerned About Hillary Clinton," by Patrick Healy. The big names in question? Former Vice President Al Gore, who has been out of electoral politics for 15 years and shows no interest. Secretary of State John Kerry, who shows no interest. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has been extremely clear she is not running. And Vice President Joe Biden, who actually seems to be flirting with the idea.

It's not clear who should feel more insulted by such speculation: Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. After all, the explicit idea behind all this is that if Clinton can't get the job done, the Democratic Party needs to be rescued from Sanders.

“If party leaders see a scenario next winter where Bernie Sanders has a real chance at the Democratic nomination, I think there’s no question that leaders will reach out to Vice President Biden or Secretary of State Kerry or even Gore about entering the primaries,” said Garnet F. Coleman, a Texas state lawmaker and Democratic national committeeman.

Because nothing says strength and democracy like a last-minute scramble to insert the nominee of party leaders' choice. To say nothing of the logistical challenges of creating a state-by-state campaign in places where Clinton and Sanders have been organizing for months and have staff on the ground....

1. I do not see any path of Bernie getting the nomination, we need a well qualified candidate as the

DNC nominee, one who foreign affairs experience and a willingness to run. Right now Hillary has the experience and strength to be a great president. I do not see Biden getting into the race unless Hillary should not be in for the final for some unknown reason.

2. That paragraph about a Dem Party plan...

if Bernie seemed likely to get the nomination was interesting!

3. He doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination.

5. Yup, Iowa and New Hampshire do not a campaign make.

In Clinton, voters see a long résumé but a short list of accomplishments http://wpo.st/MBC_0

And she posts this pic of Hillary event--as people were entering Before the event! Brietbart and @edharvey have reposted and it is making its lying rounds on the internet.

6. Imagine that, I saw another about Hillary staying behind a fence, she was walking along by

an area fenced for parking and some was there and she reached over to shake hands, if the video was followed further it was easy to see what it really was. When talking about truthfulness, let's start with the out right lies printed and told, then we can get to the real story. It is sickening.

Or like the picture with Bernie in a photo op with John Lewis on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, this was the anniversary of the march, not an endorsement of John Lewis.
