Reince Cycle, Reprise 2

Reg Henry thinks that Reine Pribus may be overlooking the benefits to the Republican Party of reducing the number of 2016 Republican debates.

That (possible TV films about Hillary Clinton*–ed.) has the Republican Party calling foul, always one of its strengths. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus threatens to have the GOP boycott candidate debates hosted by CNN and NBC if they go ahead with their plans to run shows assumed to be flattering to Mrs. Clinton.

This strikes me as a good idea. The world would be a better place — nay, the party itself would be a better place — if Republican debates were kept to a minimum.

    Yeah, me. This is another classic example of Democratic Party getting high on itself prematurely. It’s like she’s already queen. Has anyone even talked about the idea that maybe there are some, or a lot of people who voted for Obama, who don’t want to see another Clinton in office, that have had enough of the American royal family bit? That said, I’m all for the Clinton shows so the GOP can have its major fit and run off to its own clubhouse of extremist bigots. Why are they stalling? They want to do it.

    I think that, when the time comes, she will not run unless she is pressured into it.  She’s three years older than me; I don’t think it’s ageist to think that, by then, she will have had enough of the rat race–and of the rats.
     
    I think all this who-shot-john is the last gasp of the firebaggers, coupled with an absence of obvious candidates waiting in the wings.
