Battenfeld: Democrats face deplorable dilemma — whether to turn to Hillary Clinton

Saddled with an aging constituency of white, privileged, female boomers who fill up “No Kings” rallies, Democrats are in such disarray that some are looking to Hillary Clinton to come to the rescue.

Democrats find themselves with a deplorable dilemma – whether to reach into their no-talent “bench” for a 2028 standard bearer or turn to the 78–year-old party matriarch for yet another comeback bid.
Saddled with an aging constituency of white, privileged, female boomers who fill up “No Kings” rallies, Democrats are in such disarray that some are looking to Hillary Clinton to come to the rescue.
The former Secretary of State is coming to New Hampshire next month to headline a major fundraising dinner – fueling speculation about her White House intentions and generational complaints from progressives who view her as an out of touch retread.
Clinton insists she isn’t running but her appearance in the Granite State on April 25 — her first in the state in seven years – has triggered grumbling that she doesn’t meet the party’s liberal litmus test for candidates any more.
But Clinton sounded recently like an unconfident Little League coach looking at a bench full of weak 12-year-olds as she assessed the current Democratic presidential field.
“We have a kind of big messy contest. And so people are going to run,” she told a German TV show at a conference in Munich. “There’s probably going to be 10 to 15 people running. But we have a good bench, we have some good candidates.”
Really? The pompous, overrated Gavin Newsom? The unelectable Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? The even worse Kamala Harris?
Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is now testing the waters. If he is the nominee, the Democrats are doomed.
That’s what they face as they look to topple President Donald Trump’s successor, which looks now like either Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Commentary:
With Hillary, it's always a toss up whether she is really going to run or whether she is just trying to shake down donors for money. My bet is she is going to try to run another time. Remember, this is the woman who registered to run for the Presidency in 1996. Her ambition knows no limits.
At first glance, the idea of another Clinton run sounds crazy. The former first lady will be 81 in 2028, and the Democratic Party is still smarting over its fatal decision to clear the field for an 81-year-old in 2024.
Meanwhile, I heard from a reliable source that Joe Biden is considering running in 2028 and is putting together an exploratory committee.
The question depends on what you think of the emerging Democratic field. Clinton herself recently said that the Democrats have a “good bench” for 2028. Whether Clinton has a path depends on two factors.
At this stage, it isn’t likely. But it isn’t crazy, either. Come April, Clinton will be in Nashua. You can bet her allies will be watching closely to see how she is received.

She`s not going to run. What the democrats need is a convicted felon who is likely a pedophile. That would split the Republican vote.

Insanity .
Far greater chance of her being in solitary at Guantanamo.

They have spent at least $300 million on improvements and extensions .
For What ?
For Whom.
Hitlery Clitoris for a start .

The statist left does NOT need an over the hill geriatric that makes a living collapsing @ curbside attempting to get into a limo. What the statist lefties desperately need is a virtual miracle before their entire statist left ideology/party goes the way of the old Whig party.

Why not? The right has an over-the-hill geriatric leader who calls his mental lapses the weave, who they want to stay president forever.

What Democrats need to do is stop listening to white racists telling them what they need to do and work harder to energize their base voters. Stop believing that they need white suburban voters, or that it's important to appeal to disaffected white conservatives.

The Republican party is imploding more each day Trump is their leader, so it's time to laugh when one of these deplorables decides to post some idiotic right wing op ed about what democrats need to do.

Republicans have won the popular vote just twice in this century, and because they won by 1.5 percent in 2024, we see all this. If things continue, these guys will be whining about how the midterms were stolen when everything is showing them that people do not like what RepubLicans are doing. Instea of believing their eyes, these morons choose not to believe that millions of protesters are dissatisfied, but are paid to protest because that's what Trump tells them to believe.

Between Biden and Trump, I just cannot see either side going for another octogenarian.
