I think Democrats better start looking for a new frontrunner. This is not going away. Hillary, sad to say, is proving herself inept once again at saying the right things in public, in finding the right tone, in getting beyond what often seems like her and Bills sense of inevitability that she will be President. If the GOP nominates one of the current bozos, a Democrat who doesnt make big mis-steps (and Hillary already has) will be able to prevail. If the GOP nominates someone with a good shot at a majority -- like Jeb Bush or John Huntsman -- they will have a VERY good chance to beat Hillary on her own history and mis-steps. Bush has his name liability and Huntsman is perhaps too reasonable for the GOP majority. But still, they could mount very credible campaigns for the national majority and beat Hillary on her continually accumulating baggage. I like Warren and Sanders. They can each get some cross-over from the Tea Party people who are supposedly for the little guy. Warren can address issues of fairness that make her sound so reasonable, on the evidence, even appealing to some of the little people on the right. I think Sanders can speak to all the people, too -- except for the very big business interests that dont want any regulation and who will buy the election if possible. I think people can be persuaded by Warrens protected from burning down your house with a toaster oven argument for reasonable government regulation, that substantial portion of the 99% who are at least as angry at big business as at big government. They would LIKE to have a better shot at success, rather than being kept at low wages because of inequalities in taxation with companies and related issues, a failure to invest in Everymans future, etc., and Warren appeals directly to that interest. modvive/2014/06/28/unlv-students-ask-dead-broke-hillary-clinton-refund-speaking-fees/
