As must have surprised no one, Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy for the presidency yesterday. Maybe it’s just me but if she does in fact become the Democratic nominee, won’t she energize her opponents more than she does her supporters? Judging by the phlegmatic reaction to her announcement that certainly seems to be the case.
Jim Geraghty, in his “Morning Jolt” news letter, described Hillary’s debut as a “belly flop.” However, he says it doesn’t matter, because of the low thresholds the democratic party tends to hold for it’s candidates, in lieu of ever voting “republican.”
