Do you think Hillary will run unopposed in the primaries?

Here's a list of possibles:

2016 Democrat possible Candidates  

It looks like Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee have announced as well.   I expect Martin O'Malley will announce soon enough as well.

She isn't running unopposed, which would not be a good thing, but is such a front runner that it is going to be difficult for the other candidates to raise much money. I 'm curious to see how this race for the nomination unfolds. 

I sincerely hope not. I like choices.

Choices are good BUT Hilary is our only viable option. Here's some great articles I've been reading.

We cannot let any of the republicans win. It will be disastrous. Not one of their candidates is desirable in anyway.

It's too bad Elizabeth Warren isn't running.

Agreed, however, she is doing a far bit of good right where she's at - running for office would effectively hamstring her politically.

While I really like Warren and think she's actually fighting the good fight for people, she's not very electable I don't think (for President).   She's too liberal for most and unfortunately (IMO) Clinton is more middle of the road.

side question- do you really, honestly think America would elect a woman president? I really, really don't think it would happen. I wish I could say otherwise, tho. :/

Yes.

Ditto.

this is true. I just, I guess I see the old-money conservative crowd that has large stakes in high-dollar sectors as being old, cronied men who are sexist lol. and I think it could be so polarizing that even people who would've voted democratic who are not so progressive in their thinking might swing the other way just to avoid a woman president. I'd be thrilled to be wrong, I just don't see it happening.

I certainly won't disagree that I was hoping for things to be different either.  That said, I think maybe everyone was a little naive about how him winning was going to be taken by the far right (I'm not talking moderates, I'm talking Tea Party).    For some of them to flat out say that their goal was to make him a one-termer was disappointing.  It makes me wish he had done things differently in how he approached them.  But, hindsight is 20/20.

I'm not sure if things would have been different if Hillary had won in 2008 or not.  It's hard to say.  Bill Clinton was well known for being able to work with the right when he was office (and I bring that up only because she's a very smart lady and she would have learned some things from him in that regards I believe).  But, he wasn't dealing with the Tea Party either, so who knows.

I also agree there are a lot of disenchanted people right now - with Obama, but also with EVERYTHING.  The GOP have a golden opportunity right now to PROVE they can do what they promised they could do when they ran in 2014 - work with Obama.  And right now they aren't doing that.    They aren't proving anything in fact, and Congress approval continues to fall.

I personally thought the GOPs best bet was good old Jeb Bush.  But after seeing some of his numbers lately - I'm not so sure.   So that said, I'm not sure who the GOP thinks can beat Hillary if another Bush can't.  Certainly not Cruz or Paul.  The joke this weekend on SNL was her closest competitor was the margin of error - and that's certainly looking to be the case.  At least 19 months out - and that's a lot of time for things to change of course.

I wish Condoleeza Rice would run.
