But the conservatives are not smart enough to figure this out.

 

Besides, it would be an enormous boon to the conservatives' cause if they could elect the Republican candidate for president in 2016.

 

So if the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016 turns out to be a white man such as Joe Biden, the conservatives will try replaying the Swift Boat tactic that they used effectively against John Kerry in 2004.

 

But if the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016 is Hillary, then the conservatives will launch a negative campaign against her that will surpass their negative campaign against President Obama. Remember that she has served as a U.S. Senator from New York and as Secretary of State under President Obama. So she will be a formidable presidential candidate, if she runs.

 

The cultural conditioning of the consciousness of white conservatives today is deeply rooted both in white supremacy and in male supremacy (also known as misogyny).

 

Your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not Hillary will even run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. I'm making no prediction about that.

 

But if she emerges as the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, this will drive conservatives crazy.

 

Consider.
