| Obama Shafts Hillary With Amnesty and Ferguson |
| 2014-12-02 |
| h/t Instapundit As Barack Obama invites in five million illegals to scoop up American jobs, and as those normal Americans lucky enough to still have jobs wait in traffic while morons block the freeway because some Swisher Sweets-puffing felon got himself killed, Hillary Clinton's chances in 2016 plummet. So it turns out that Obama is likely to achieve one great thing as president -- he'll keep Hillary from ever occupying the Oval Office. It is important to understand that neither the executive amnesty scam nor the bogus outrage over Ferguson actually had anything to with race per se. Obama and his gang are Marxists. This was always about class. The Obama coalition is not the traditional Democrat coalition. It is primarily a class coalition. It is the Democrat Party base and nothing more, made up of rich/academic upper class whites, the unionized government hack sub-class, and lower class welfare recipients. When it won in 2008 and 2012, the coalition added just enough others to push it over the top. But now, those others -- primarily middle and working class people employed in the private sector -- are fleeing to the GOP. And those were the people Hillary was counting on supply enough votes to win. Glenn's comment: With another Democrat in the White House, Obama's a has-been. With a Republican and an angry 35% constituency, he'll matter -- basically, Al Sharpton writ large. |

| #14 In the end, it comes down to how HILLARY herself effec responds to any Bammer threat, notsomuch what the Bammer does. Iff she expects to be POTUS, + for the Amer Voter to support her, she has to show she can handle herself. Another, third "I'm Just A Girl"-esque campaign isn't gonna cut it for 2016. |

| #13 but Hillary seems so personable, compromising, and willing to learn and move on! *cough* |

| #10 (Haven't we been through this before?) Yes nmu, but we must remain cognizant as well as respectful of the random outliers, you know, the .0000000012 percenters. |

| #9 "With another Democrat in the White House, Obama's a has-been. With a Republican and an angry 35% constituency, he'll matter" I disagree. Follow Obama with another Dem and they'll take the heat for how messed up things are (same for any Republicans that take over but don't fix things pronto) while Obama continues to get his W's fault pass. |

| #8 I would think that by now you all know that fellow 'burgers I do not include in that cohort. In particular those who have served in the military (for which I am deeply grateful). If you took offense, apologies. I was not referring to any of you. It is obvious from the contents of your posts that you aren't like that. (Haven't we been through this before?) Nonetheless, the point I made is a valid one. The fact that there are a few good people like the public workers and pensioners who post on this site in the publicly funded sector does not mean that way north of 95% are anything different than what I described. Don't take it personally. That's just how it is. |

| #7 Make that five government. I so despise blanket generalizations. It's a lazy and stupid practice. |

| #4 Respectfully disagree w/ NMOU's all-inclusive "...every government worker, everyone with a government pension...", I can point to at least 2 in that category that will not be pulling a D lever in any Nat'l election. |

| #3 Excellent point nmu. Your first para is a very apt description of the 'Chicago Machine.' Pubs have not made if far there for decades. |

| #2 Don't count out Hillary - or any other Dem - just yet. Unless and until the Repubs find a way to overcome the vote of the publicly funded - welfare recipients, yes, but more importantly public employees, grant recipients, and subsidy recipients - the chances of getting a Republican elected are slim, and the chances of getting a fiscal conservative elected are zero, especially in a down private economy. 47% and all that. All Hillary or any other Dem has to do to get to that 47% is promise that not one cent of any publicly sourced income will be touched, and challenge the Republican who is running to make the same pledge (which they shouldn't and won't), and she will have the vote of every welfare recipient, every government worker, everyone with a government pension, and every recipient of a government grant or subsidy. Even people who are nominal Republicans and conservatives will, once in the voting booth, pull the lever for the party of the magic paycheck. They will crawl over a field of broken glass while naked to vote for the Democrat. That's just how it is in 2014. |

| #1 Glenn is correct. A Democrat in the White House who is somehow able to work with the congress like Bill Clinton did, will paint the Champ as the ultimate Dem loser. With a Pub in the Oval Office, he'll simply be remembered as the first black president, and champion of amnesty and ACA. I doubt the White House shadow gov't troika [FLOTUS, ValJar, and Rice] have any use for the likes of a wealthy, white Beest either. |
