THE FATE OF THE COUNTRY WILL REST WITH THE PEOPLE…

MIGHT THIS 'REALLY' BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT?

Already there is much concern out there about how best to deal with Hitlery Clinton regarding the 2016 election. And on any given day the Republicans appear to be somewhat politically schizophrenic, with one hearing her called a deeply flawed future presidential candidate on one network and being called a formidable candidate on another. But the truth of the matter is that whether or not she is elected or, to some extent, whether she even decides to run, will be primarily up to the American people. Because Hitlery’s political future boils down to one very basic question. And to be perfectly honest, I have no idea how that question will be answered.

Because if the American people come to the conclusion that they want even more of what they will have gotten as a result of having Barry "Almighty" as their president for eight years, then they will most assuredly vote for Hitlery Clinton. But if they decide that they have had enough of this socialism and they want to try something better, then they will likely vote for someone else. The bottom line here, is that if a majority of the American people actually WANT more of the same, then there is absolutely nothing that any Republican candidate, or group, will be able to do to keep Hitlery from getting elected and killing off what's left of our liberty.

There is a theory now being floated by some that with the right amount of Republican-led scrutiny, Hitlery might decide to not even run after all. At a time that the former secretary of state, first lady and New York senator prepares for a high-profile book tour beginning in June, Republicans have begun using a variety of approaches to try to define Hitlery and drive down the mostly positive approval ratings she built while in Barry "Almighty's" Cabinet. At the same time, the GOP is building what is said to be an anti-Hitlery infrastructure that aims to undercut her appeal more than two years ahead of the presidential election.

"Ultimately our goal is to stop Hillary Clinton," said Garrett Marquis of the Stop Hillary PAC, which formed last year and has raised $500,000 and says it has 250,000 enlisted supporters.  "If we can do that by dissuading her from running for president in the first place, then we'll consider our effort a success," Marquis said. But if Hitlery runs, Marquis said, the extra time will help "build a campaign to stop her." Hitlery's less than impressive record at the State Department is likely to receive a pretty thorough public dissection once she begins promoting "Hard Choices," her memoir of her time as the nation's top diplomat.

Republicans say, and rightfully so, that Hitlery's tenure while at the State Department lacked any significant or notable accomplishments and that many of those hard choices to which she refers in her new book were bad ones. When Hitlery recently criticized Nigeria's Boko Haram for its mass kidnappings of young girls, Republicans said she had failed to label the group a foreign terrorist organization while she was in charge. On Benghazi, her testimony to a Senate committee, and her now famous sound bite, "What difference does it make?" remains a formidable issue among Republican activists and the basis for countless fundraising pitches.

Researching Hitlery's past has become the major task for America Rising LLC, which is a Republican group founded by Matt Rhoades, who was Mitt Romney's former campaign manager. The group has raised money through a website called StopHillary2016.org and also has 20 paid trackers who follow Democrat candidates in search of "gotcha" moments that can shift momentum in campaigns. Executive director Tim Miller said the group will send camera-carrying trackers to some of Hitlery's book events. He said, "My feeling is that Hillary Clinton is already running for president." That would be a very safe assumption to make.

America Rising, he said, has sought to "provide a counterbalance and hold her accountable so that she doesn't just get a platform to kick off a presidential campaign without the scrutiny that should rightly come along with that." Stop Hillary PAC, meanwhile, warns on its website that by 2016, "it will be too late to stop Hillary. We've got to hold her accountable right now."  Marquis said the group, led by a Colorado state senator, Ted Harvey, aims to mobilize voters against a future Hitlery campaign and hopes to have 1 million supporters by the end of 2014. But then there's also the notion that Hitlery might not run. On that issue we can only hope.

But as I said at the very beginning, if the American people truly believe that it is an all powerful government that is the answer to all their problems, than no matter what the Republicans, nor any of these many Stop Hitlery groups, do, it will, very likely, be all for naught. And those of us who believe that it’s that very same government that’s the root cause for most of our problems will come up short in our effort to send Hitlery off forever into private life. Thanks to what will be by then eight long years of Barry, the electing of Hitlery Clinton would be that final nail into our coffin. Whether or not that will come to pass rests solely with the American people.
