Clinton May Face No Challengers

First Read: “Here’s something for political reporters and pundits to chew on: It’s more likely that Hillary Clinton would face only gadfly opposition in a 2016 Democratic primary… rather than a competitive challenger. California Gov. Jerry Brown has become the latest Democrat to rule out a presidential bid… Already, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has said no. Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley has said he won’t run if Hillary does. And while former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer is certainly dipping his toes into the presidential waters, he did the same thing regarding the state’s vacant Senate seat — and remember how that turned out.”

“American politics is full of surprises. But right now, the smart money is on Hillary facing little to no opposition if she runs in 2016.”
