Coy

Is she or isn’t she?  Will Hillary Clinton be running for president? This is the media obsession of late … but, if one follows the crumbs, the answer presents itself ... NO.

And the reasoning behind this boils down to one obvious set of events … the circling of all the other potential Democrat vultures around the prize that might be theirs if Hillary bows out. Vice President Joe Biden is much more visible of late. And so is that high cheek-boned "Native-American," Elizabeth Warren, Senator from Massachusetts. But now, stage left enters Governor Moonbeam from California, 76-year-old Jerry Brown … and there are others … see: Washington Post Article. The logic is as follows … why would all these other potential candidates be jockeying for the saddle if Hillary is a shoe-in for jockey? The answer is that they must know something that we don’t.

But then why also would Hillary and Bill be playing it so coy if they knew that this media dream was not to be … if for whatever reason … health issues, age issues, past performance issues, or even waning enthusiasm? The answer is quite obvious … Hillary, still seeming the front runner, creates a meme that opens the corporate and big donor coiffeurs to oodles of pelf for her, her husband, the Clinton Foundation, and even darling Chelsea. These donor plutocrats want access to the White House next time around and a big fat check is the way to do it.

Don’t forget that the Clintons have a posse of adviser mouths to feed and they need the continued avalanche of campaign and foundation money to keep these hanger-ons happy. So, I predict that Hillary will continue playing this demure demoiselle until right up to the time when there would be no going back … or until the media turns on her.  This might be as late as the summer of 2016. And then it’s sayonara to all the saps who lined the Clinton pockets … and the devil take what’s left of the Democrat party.

I can’t really say I’m sorry.
