Why the Hildabeast will be the next President

The headline should add "..if her opponent is the Crown Prince John Ellis Bush," (and of course the Clintons are gaming that JEB! will be her opponent, since the GOP just can't help but satisfy their Bush obsession), but here is the opinion of this likely Hillary partisan:

Sorry Jebbie!

(Huffington Post) - Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Party's nominee, and she will win the 2016 election. When you analyze the objective conditions of the Republican Party today and most likely over the next two years and compare them to Clinton's strengths, it's hard not to make such a prediction with confidence.

The email flap will be gone soon enough. Short of the State Department finding some grenade of an email, the release of some 55,000 Clinton emails from the government archives is more likely to reinforce Clinton's formidable leadership and executive abilities than subtract from her decades-old image of an American Iron Lady.

It's not fair, Poppy, it's my turn! She had her shot in 2008

Republicans will wail at her desire for privacy in not turning over her personal emails, but look at America's angst on this very topic. Many citizens feel that our privacy has been compromised, by everyone from the government to Russian hackers; that our private stuff is under threat. Hard to imagine that the citizenry will begrudge Clinton's desire for some modicum of privacy even as her official emails are published on a State Department website.

The Washington press corps has been foaming at the mouth, an expected reaction. At a recent networking event of political reporters, one 2016 campaign beat journalist, writing for a major national paper, was almost salivating. "It's just like the Clintons!" he cried. "So typical! This is huge!"

This would be his meal ticket for the next few weeks, and I could not help but feel happy for him. Washington journalists need scandal to thrive. The routine reporting of the minor personalities who haunt the halls of Congress or of obscure second-rank Cabinet secretaries makes for poor copy.

And while the Benghazi Brigade in the GOP is still marching along in the desert, hoping to stumble on to a smoking gun, their political shenanigans in not releasing the voluminous collection of Clinton's email that they possess will only further tarnish their credibility. And there is no polling that I've seen that shows that Benghazi is even a remotely relevant issue for the non-Tea Party majority of the electorate.

It's no wonder, then, that the 2016 GOP pre-candidates have stayed largely silent on the Clinton email brouhaha. First, you can bet that more than one of those candidates has used multiple email accounts themselves while in office. The widespread ownership of email glass houses makes it awkward, if not outright dangerous, for these candidates to throw rocks at Clinton. In fact, former Governor Jeb Bush was quite loquacious with his private email account -- even using it to discuss security issues and troop deployments.
