With the 2016 presidential campaign already in full swing, the only thing missing at the moment appears to be to genuine enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton.

No one seems to be excited about her candidacy, not even hard-core Democrats and former Clintonites. She?s become like the boring real estate agent standing around holding a glass of cheap chardonnay who somehow got invited to the cocktail party, the one common bond inking all the guests as disinterested eyes wander the room, desperate to break away in search of a better conversation.

So nice to see you again, Mrs. Clinton, how you doing? I heard Joe Biden is coming ? did he arrive yet? Oh wait, is that Bernie Sanders there across the room? Excuse me, see ya? later.

Could Hillary Clinton already be doomed?

Things could certainly be worse for Mrs. Clinton (and might indeed get much worse ? on several fronts). At least she gets most of the major issues right. For instance, her views on domestic affairs, foreign policy, and social issues are clearly much more in tune with the general electorate than all the angry rhetoric ........read the rest here from Nolan Dalla.

Naw, Hillary isn't doomed.

I like Bernie, but let's face it, he's a fringe candidate and can't get the nomination.

I like Joe too, but he may not run, and I'm not sure he could beat Hillary.

So, unless she drops dead, she's the Dem nominee.

And the numbers are on her side: As of October 2014, Gallup polling found that 43% of Americans identified as Democrats and 39% as Republicans.

If the Republicans nominate a hard right-winger who has pissed off every minority group, Hillary wins hands down.

If they nominate a somewhat moderate candidate, say Bush or Christie, it could be close, but the odds favor Hillary.

If they nominate a reasonable person (and the only Repub who fits that category is Kasich), she'll have a tough fight.

But, Hillary gets the committed Dems (maybe 35% of voters) nearly all black voters (another 10%), and probably a small majority of Hispanics and Asians.

Hillary has only one hand to play. The Republicans have several. So long as their candidates are bashing Hispanics and Blacks and liberals all day long, they're just pushing more potential swing voters to Hillary.

Republicans are in a bind. They have to be hard right wing to get the nomination, then somehow get folks to forget all that shit in the election.

Right now Hillary is doing the right thing: letting Republicans eat their own, and replay all that shit before the election.

Something?s clearly very wrong, and it has more to do with her lackluster candidacy and dispassionate persona as a campaigner than potentially-devastating injuries to her credibility caused by any of the witchhunts investigations into her background as former Secretary of State. Whatever she did or didn?t do, and whatever the outcome sifting through old e-mails, even if she?s never charged with wrongdoing, what matters most to any presidential aspiration isn?t reality, but perception. The Rubicon of trust has been crossed, or more precisely ? violated. Since 1991, by flinging enough mud, conservative critics knew it was inevitable that some dirt was bound to stick to an exposed wall someplace, at least enough of a stain to be seen by enough voters that now grade her her with low marks for being trustworthy. That?s been the conservatives? strategy all along. It didn?t work so well consistently lying about and defaming President Obama. But admittedly, it seems to be working on Mrs. Clinton. I?m not sure exactly how a candidate earns trust back, once it?s lost. Torpedoes are difficult to diffuse once they?ve hit their target.
Mrs. Clinton went into this race with more baggage than a loaded 747. First, she?s had to overcome the so-called ?Clinton fatigue? factor, a similar phenomenon which is definitely hurting former Gov. Jeb Bush on the other side, who has to run on the dismal record of his failed brother. Much of America is sick and tried of both the Clintons and the Bushs. Been there, done that, they say. It?s not 2002, anymore. We want to move on. I?ve yet to see Mrs. Clinton get past first base on this obstacle.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) isn't going to comment on Hillary Clinton's (D) hair.

On Monday, The New York Times Magazine published an interview with the Democratic presidential candidate, where he was asked to weigh in on hashtags, Donald Trump and Clinton's 'do.

Sanders discussed his relationship with Black Lives Matter activists and his regret about the #BernieSoBlack hashtag, arguing he has "one of the strongest civil rights records in Congress." He called Trump's success in early polls -- in spite of his offensive comments about Mexicans, women and veterans -- "an embarrassment for our country."

But Sanders took issue with a final question about Clinton's hair.

"Do you think it?s fair that Hillary?s hair gets a lot more scrutiny than yours does?" interviewer Ana Marie Cox asked.

"Hillary?s hair gets more scrutiny than my hair? Is that what you're asking?" Sanders clarified, before asking Cox whether she had any "serious questions."

Cox defended her question, referring to the "gendered reason" why Clinton's hair gets so much coverage. Sanders jumped back in before she could finish her thought:

"When the media worries about what Hillary?s hair looks like or what my hair looks like, that?s a real problem,? Sanders said. ?We have millions of people who are struggling to keep their heads above water, who want to know what candidates can do to improve their lives, and the media will very often spend more time worrying about hair than the fact that we?re the only major country on earth that doesn?t guarantee health care to all people."
Cox added that the media "pays more attention to what female candidates look like than it does to what male candidates look like."

"That may be. That may be," Sanders said. "And It's absolutely wrong."

Nope. I've never even looked at Huff Post.

However I do read Mother Jones, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, The NYT and Stand. I watch PBS and NBC news. I've tried to watch Fox, but it gives me the runs.

And while I'd never put a candidate's bumper sticker on my car, I do have an ACLU decal.
