Hittills tyder inget på att det finns någon politiker i det demokratiska partiet som vill/vågar utmana Hillary Clinton som partiets presidentkandidat. Detta kan ha flera förklaringar. En sådan är att amerikanska väljare mycket sällan valt om samma parti till Vita huset en tredje gång. Kanske är det Hillary Clintons tur att misslyckas igen ?
Hur som helst är det nästan en evighet (i medietermer) till presidentvalet i november 2016. Men just nu blåser det motvind för den tidigare senatorn och utrikesministern. Även New York Times är kritisk i en ledare.
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s determination to reconnect with voters in localized, informative settings is commendable, but is in danger of being overshadowed by questions about the interplay of politics and wealthy foreign donors who support the Clinton Foundation.
Nothing illegal has been alleged about the foundation, the global philanthropic initiative founded by former President Bill Clinton. But no one knows better than Mrs. Clinton that this is the tooth-and-claw political season where accusations are going to fly for the next 19 months. And no one should know better than the former senator and first lady that they will fester if straightforward answers are not offered to the public.
Mycket tyder på att bidragen till Clintonstiftelsen kommer vara ett bekymmer framöver.
Bloomberg är också skeptisk till den tidigare utrikesministerns förmåga att hantera sin kampanj.
The last time Hillary Clinton was riding high as a presidential candidate was March 5, 2008. She had just beaten Barack Obama in the Ohio and Texas primaries. Outwardly, Clinton finally seemed to have found her voice. She had momentum. But on the inside, her campaign was coming apart. Top lieutenants were bitterly divided into rival camps, pushing contrary strategies. One side wanted Clinton to attack her upstart opponent. The other urged her to display a softer, more feminine side to build support. Mostly, though, her advisers were consumed with destroying each other, as a flood of leaked e-mails later made clear.
