Another Clinton comeback kid
The Comeback Kid II


David Horsey
At last week's Debate, Hillary Clinton (with the help of Bernie Sanders) boxed Joe Biden out of the race.

At the Democratic presidential debate on Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton reminded everyone that she is a survivor; maybe even a proverbial cat with nine lives.

She survived the implosion of the health care initiative that she spearheaded in President Bill Clinton's first term. She survived the humiliation of her husband's sordid fling with Monica Lewinsky and his subsequent impeachment. She survived her painfully narrow loss to Barack Obama in the race for her party's nomination in 2008.

Now, in the face of inside-the-Beltway skeptics who had begun branding her as damaged goods, as stiff and boring, as a frontrunner on the skids, she has delivered a stellar debate performance, reminding everyone why she has always been a formidable political force.

Hillary not only survives, she always finds a way to resurrect herself. After the health care debacle, she came back and became one of the nation's most memorable first ladies. After Bill left the White House hugely popular, but with the Clinton name tarnished, she won election in her own right as U.S. senator from New York. After getting beat by Mr. Obama, she became his secretary of state.

After months of attacks from Republicans over her actions before and after the terrorist incident in Benghazi and her questionable use of a personal email server during her time as secretary of state -- a relentless barrage that had led many Democrats to wonder if they should start looking for an alternative candidate -- she has seized the moment and won the advantage. Ms. Clinton has an upcoming date with the House Select Committee on Benghazi, and instead of it being a dreaded appointment, she is probably eager...............

A candidate in a position to single handedly cripple or at least bring the Republican Party to its knees, and there are people who would do and say whatever they can to keep this from happening, but I honestly believe it will happen despite their efforts.
