From Politico, “What if Hillary Clinton passes on 2016?<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“For Democrats, there is no fallback: It\u2019s Hillary Clinton<\/a> or probably a long bout of depression ahead of 2016 …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? \u00a0But what about Andrew Cuomo<\/a>? \u00a0He supports gun control<\/a>\u00a0and women<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“…\u00a0there is no obvious replacement. \u00a0And the party would be looking at a mad scramble to fill the Clinton void … Another senior Democrat agreed, saying, \u201cThere\u2019s Hillary, and then there\u2019s, like, Plan K. There is no B or C or G or whatever.\u201d \u00a0Such assessments wouldn\u2019t sit well with Democrats who are looking at 2016 as the understudies to Clinton \u2014 Maryland Gov. Martin O\u2019Malley<\/a>, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper<\/a>, Vice President Joe Biden<\/a>, to name a few …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hahahahaha! \u00a0They didn’t even mention him.<\/p>\n

Things were looking real good for him this time last year, with poll numbers in the low 70s. \u00a0Then he decided to exploit tragedy and push gun control. \u00a0The result: \u00a0His approval ratings have plunged<\/a>, his so-called women’s agenda crashed and burned<\/a>, and now he’s dropped off the list of top tier Democrat presidential contenders for 2016.<\/p>\n
