(4,775 posts)I have no problem with your congressional efforts, who runs the house does make a lot of difference.
I have a big problem with people wanting to keep the POTUS discussion off the table. You don't think Hillary has begun preliminary work for her run? I'm quite certain she has. And she's coming from a position of great strength, financial, experience, ambition, etc.
For someone to emerge who could actually make it happen, who would perhaps actually represent what this party says it is about, will take more of an effort, it will take earlier preparations, at the very least it will take grass-roots mobilizing for such a candidate, to build any kind of momentum where such a thing has a chance of happening. That should not be underestimated.
Honestly I could care less whether you personally have any interest in 2016. What I do care about, though, is attempts to force us into accepting the supposedly inevitable without getting a real fighting chance at a better alternative in 2016. Delay of game would be an effective way to keep such alternatives from emerging.
