Hillary Clinton is by far the best known and best liked of the potential 2016 presidential hopefuls.



Courtesy of Gallup: http://www.gallup.com/poll/173402/clinton-best-known-best-liked-potential-2016-candidate.aspx

Hillary Clinton is currently the best known and best liked of 16 potential 2016 presidential candidates tested in a July 7-10 Gallup poll, due to her 91% familiarity score and +19 net favorable rating. The net favorable is based on her 55% favorable and 36% unfavorable ratings.



Surely doesn't seem to be consistent with the Repub meme of "Hillary fatigue"

Available as a front runner and plenty of qualified VP candidates. I hope these potential candidates make themselves available to assist DNC Congressional candidates in the 2014 election. Having big numbers in Congress will assist in a successful ability to get their agenda through. Let's go and win win win.

Honduras after which things went to hell in Honduras. Hence the fact that most of the Central American refugee kids crossing our border are from Honduras. But I suppose that if she's the Democratic candidate in 2016 I'll have to hold my nose and vote for her.

She did not "back" it. The only criticism she got by the non-nut factions of the right and left was that after it happened, she was lukewarm about restoring him to power... like she even could do it. She was not the President.

This is July 2014. I'm not sure why we're even talking about this. My guess is we don't even know who will be the candidates for the presidency in 2016.

And I will say this, if she decides to run, she is going to open a big can of whoop ass on them!
