    I know the D&D falls down liberal pretty heavily. So, I wanted to get your honest perspective on who will run next election cycle and why you think they can win the primary.

    Listening intently

    Hillary, Biden and Cuomo. Hillary takes it due to her popularity and experience.

    Hillary.
    Just point to how good Bill Clinton was for the entire campaign and you've got an easy election to win. Not to mention there is the dynamic of first woman president that will win the woman vote easily.

    Biden would be running against any sound polling advice or exploratory feedback. Pretty sure Kerry was banking on that when he took the State job. Hilary will have some great non-profit, think-tank or corporate board opportunities in the same city as her husband and inevitable grand-kids. She will prove to have been a more loyal Democrat than the primary fight might have implied to some, that "no way" speech in '08 was perfect.

    You'll probably see a few more minorities try just because Obama was an even bigger bet at the time, but they'll cancel each other out and a dark horse Southerner or conservative Midwesterner will take it.

    That's probably pretty accurate.

    I think Hillary could win the primaries IF she ran, but I do not think she can win the election. After Benghazi memo, she will be attacked heavily on foreign policy and that is just by other Demos during primaries.

    I don't think people care how good Bill was when voting for Hillary. Also a lot of women will not vote for a woman, especially one who lets her husband sleep with other women and get away with it.

    So are you going to be her FLOTUS?

    Nice use of a period, BTW.

    Just a guess, but I suspect any woman who wouldn't vote for Hillary isn't going to vote for any Democrat anyway.

    Link?

    I don't think that is necessarily true. I think there is a group of moderate/independent/demo women across the country that won't vote for her.

    No one cares about Benghazi.

    What world do you live in?

    "Lets" her husband get away with it? what does that even mean?

    The women that would not vote for Hillary would be Republicans, Hillary would get a huge amount of the independent women voters or women in the past that failed to vote.

    The issue with Hillary is her age... and yes, her husband is a huge asset.

    Really? You don't think that people can move on from an event that happened nearly 20 years ago? I'm pretty sure that is not what is going to be a driving decision for 99% of women that would vote Democrat.

    If Hillary is in good health and runs, everyone else is irrelevant. Unless a scandal emerges, she will also beat whoever the Republicans nominate. How big a margin is the question.

    Regardless of Hillary, Biden's candidacy is DOA. Not a chance.

    Too early to comment on others.

    Will Someone pull a AL GORE and run a poor campaign?
    basically give the election away?

    It was more of a statement then a question.

    I know that is your guess, but it's based on what? What you want to happen?
