I think the only thing that could derail Hillary at this point is a health scare.
You know the GOP is in dire straits when that's their leading candidate. Yikes.
Not that the Dems have a wealth of admired, respected politicians lining up for that role either, though. Hillary could fracture the base, Warren is too new (definite candidate for 2020 though) and Biden often makes a fool of himself.

Very little doubt she'll win the primary... will it be enough to run the table though? I have my doubts. Although the right seems to love alpha-dog politics.
Sure. Depends on who runs against her. I know she will ratchet up the neocon rhetoric in the general campaign.
Mitt was fairly non-descript in the primaries and basically pushed through (which I don't think will happen again this time). But his major mistake was to pander to the base after the primaries, which is really what turned off the center votes.
I mean, at this point, they gotta know that the base will hold their noses and vote for them anyways, and that the base is not enough to get them elected.
I suspect they've learned from the last iteration, but we'll see.
Warren for 2020? I just don't see it. She may be the darling of the hardcore left but no way she is a viable candidate.
Even if I agreed with you, I think you underestimate how many people would vote for her just based upon reactionary politics.
I think she'd pull a ton of voters from the center just because she really seems to function outside the umbrella of Washington. She calls out everyone and doesn't seem to give a flip about party politics or how much money someone has.
Not sure if she'd make a good president but she's been pretty open in her criticism of Washington, and for that she's at least got my attention.
Warren isn't a wingnut but would be pretty easily painted as such... It would be a huge long shot but I'd be 100% behind her.
At least warren would go after wallstreet.
She'd probably be a disaster in ever other respect, but at least she'd have that.
Maybe.
It'd be funny to see.
but she wouldn't catch them, because regulatory bills in Congress would ALL fail. Wall St OWNS Congress. (btw, Wall st LOVES Hillary)
The MIC, the militarized police, America's Mussolini "fascism" (govt + corporate combo = corporatocracy), the totally corrupt wealth-sucking financial sector, the wealth-sucking health racket, etc, etc, are all on an UNSTOPPABLE trajectory to for the 99%.
"After dinner, “Larry leaned back in his chair and offered me some advice,” Ms. Warren writes.
“I had a choice. I could be an insider or I could be an outsider. Outsiders can say whatever they want.
But people on the inside don’t listen to them.
Insiders, however, get lots of access and a chance to push their ideas.
People — powerful people — listen to what they have to say.
But insiders also understand one unbreakable rule: They don’t criticize other insiders."

Like a ing jihadi flying a Boeing, I imagine.
No doubt she'd be a disaster.
