2014 Elections: What Will they Mean for Hillary and Democrats?
Written on Monday, December 9, 2013 by David L. Goetsch
The 2014 elections will be what are generally referred to as mid-term elections. Seats in Congress will be up for grabs, but of course the president does not have to run. Because the president is not running, mid-term elections typically generate less interest and, in turn, less participation from voters. However, the 2014 mid-term elections are likely to break the mold. What you may ask makes these mid-term elections different from those in the past? In a word, Obamacare. Whether the candidate in question is a Democrat, Republican, or from a third-party, there will be one issue that will stand out above all others in 2014, and that issue is Obamacare. Further, try as they might candidates will not be able to escape, gloss over, or kick the can down the road on this all-important issue. Obamacare will either be the unraveling of a presidency or the making of a legacy, and the mid-term elections of 2014 will determine which it will be. What the mid-term elections in 2014 will not beunfortunatelyis the undoing of Hillary Clintons presidential aspirations, no matter how much Republicans and conservatives wish that would be the case.
Republicans and conservativesunfortunately there is a difference these daysare hoping to clean up in the mid-term elections of 2014, and Obamacare has certainly set the table for a string of Republican victories in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. Naturally, Republicans and conservatives are hoping that a big win at the polls in 2014 will spell disaster for Hillary Clintons campaign in 2016. I certainly hope the same thing. However, I am afraid the 2014 elections will not be a plebiscite on Hillary. In fact, conservatives will be sadly mistaken if they think Republican victories in 2014 presage bad tidings for Hillary. I say this because Hillary believes in one thing and one thing only: her election as president. She has no abiding moral, philosophical, or political views. What she believes at any given moment is whatever she needs to believe to position herself for a run at the presidency. Obamacare or any other issue that gets in her way will be cast aside like used Kleenex. On any issue that stands between her and the Oval Office, expect to see Hillary switch gears faster than Dale Unser. Sensing weakness, Hillary has already began putting some serious distance between herself and Barack Obama. By the time the 2016 elections roll around she will claim she doesnt even know the man. In fact, if she needs to in order to win the presidency Hillary will run as a newly enlightened moderate who claims she fought against Obamacare and only resigned as Secretary of State when she lost the battle. Hillary Clintons loyalty to Barack Obama, the Democrat Party, and any given political issue has less depth than a sheet of paper. Hillary will not let Obamacare stand in the way of her aspirations. The 2014 mid-term elections will be a plebiscite, but on one individual and one issue only: Barack Obama and Obamacare.

Yeah, the 2010 election really hurt Obama. He should have did better than 332-206.
