Yes, that Hillary. The corrupt old hag from the original First Family of grifters who perfectly embody the Dem-Media Party's modern brand of soulless, cynical, empty politics. Gotta admit, there would be a certain symmetry to discarding one decrepit octogenarian in favor of another.
Recall the later Brezhnev years of the declining Soviet empire when they injected their leader with enough formaldehyde to keep him walking and talking long after he was technically dead. Until eventually nature would no longer be denied, and the man died...then the empire not long after.
Fast-forward 40 years to our own version of Brezhnev who presides over another declining empire...and damned if we don't see the same thing playing out. One indicator that a nation has lost its spiritual vitality is when its main candidates for leadership are pressing 80 years of age.
Anyway, the below paragraphs are excerpted from a piece (behind pay wall) written by two long-time Dem-Media operatives for the WSJ yesterday:
>>Several circumstances—President Biden’s low approval rating, doubts over his capacity to run for re-election at 82, Vice President Kamala Harris’s unpopularity, and the absence of another strong Democrat to lead the ticket in 2024—have created a leadership vacuum in the party, which Mrs. Clinton viably could fill.
She is already in an advantageous position to become the 2024 Democratic nominee. She is an experienced national figure who is younger than Mr. Biden and can offer a different approach from the disorganized and unpopular one the party is currently taking.
If Democrats lose control of Congress in 2022, Mrs. Clinton can use the party’s loss as a basis to run for president again, enabling her to claim the title of “change candidate.”
Based on her latest public statements, it’s clear that Mrs. Clinton not only recognizes her position as a potential front-runner but also is setting up a process to help her decide whether or not to run for president again. She recently warned of the electoral consequences in the 2022 midterms if the Democratic Party continues to align itself with its progressive wing and urged Democrats to reject far-left positions that isolate key segments of the electorate.<<
