Clearly, S.E. Cupp needs a primer on how the Race Industry works in America, because there’s no way Hillary Clinton could challenge Obama for the 2012 election
Here’s a column by S.E. Cupp that makes me wonder if she pays any attention at all to the Race Industry in America. Cupp is usually so smart about most things, so I also wonder if this is part of some strategy on the right to try to encourage more dissatisfaction with Obama by pushing the pipedream that Hillary Clinton could really challenge him for the 2012 presidential nomination.
To put it simply, Clinton can’t challenge Obama because he is a sitting black president, and Clinton challenging a sitting black president would make her public enemy number one in the black community.
Obama and his surrogates, like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Henry Gates, and most especially his own wife Michelle, would 24/7 brand Hillary the most racist of all racists for daring to — and quote me, because this is the exact verbiage these surrogates would use — “take this away from the black man”.
Perhaps Cupp’s real intent is to try to goad Hillary into committing political suicide, because blacks would never forgive any Democrat who challenged Obama for the 2012 nomination. Just think about the scenarios that flow naturally out of this:
(1) Obama remains the Democrats’ nominee, but goes on to lose the general election. Blacks would say that Obama lost because Hillary weakened and distracted him — so it’s all her fault the presidency was “taken away from the black man”.
(2) Obama loses the Democrats’ nomination to Hillary, and Hillary then loses the presidency. Blacks will raise Hades for the next four years demanding Obama for the 2016 nominee, since “Hillary stole it from him in 2012″ and then lost. Not only would Hillary be blamed for losing the presidency, but she’d have to watch the DNC remain in Obama’s hands another four years, with him trying to be a second Grover Cleveland.
(3) Hillary takes the nomination from Obama and then somehow manages to win the general election, with the black voters Democrats depend on openly hating her and refusing to vote on election day. Folks, there is just no way for Hillary Clinton to become president if blacks are not supporting her, and they won’t support her if they believe (or are encouraged to think by Obama surrogates) that Hillary “stole” anything from Obama.
Even if Obama pulls an LBJ and decides not to run in 2012 (an increasingly likely scenario), blacks will be so upset Obama’s not on the ticket that they’ll likely sit 2012 out, to punish the party for Obama’s absence. Even if he tells blacks directly that he decided not to run for another term, the Race Industry will whisper it’s all a conspiracy to take the presidency away from Obama.
The Race Industry always needs a new conspiracy to run on, so Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Henry Gates, and the rest have something to do with their lives. When the Obamas are out of the White House, they too will actively participate in these race-baiting shenanigans so they never have to surrender the life of luxury they’ve become so accustomed to.
S.E. Cupp is a terrific writer and right more often then she’s wrong, but clearly she has no idea how the Race Industry operates if she honestly believes in any of this “Hillary 2012″ wishcasting.
Unless, of course, this is just a strategy in conservative circles to further encourage the ongoing Democrat Civil War and make more Democrats feel very “We should have picked Hillary!” as the 2012 election revs up.
Are conservatives really this blind to how the Race Industry actually works and how much Democrats are held hostage by these goon squads?

Here's an alternative scenario: Hillary decides that for the greater good of the Democrat Party (and the country as well) she will fall on her sword and challenge Obama in the primaries. She knows that she cannot win, but she also knows that by giving Obama a challenge from within the Party, she ends his chances of winning in the general election. By doing so, she gives the Democrats and the U.S. a few years to repair the enormous mistake that was made in 2008.
Avogadra,
Why would Hillary Clinton willingly make herself the target of hatred from the black community? That makes no sense. There is no benefit to Hillary.
Conservatives cannot on one hand claim Hillary is the most scheming and far-thinking opportunist (as they have claimed for years), and at the same time she’s so stupid as to let herself became a villain to blacks and have to live with that handicap politically for the rest of her life.
This makes no sense.
Kevin, perhaps the concept of altruism is unfamilar to lifelong democrats. A deep-seated patriotism could make an altruistic person willing to sacrifice their short-term reputation in the Black community for the sake of the long-term wellbeing of the U.S., the black community, and the Democrat Party. Hillary appears to be at the end of her political ambitions. If that is true, she could uniquely make this sacrifice for the greater good of her country.
Avograda,
You don’t seem to appreciate how evil the Race Industry is. There is no short-term about it. No one would willingly make herself a victim of the Race Industry’s permanent anger by challenging Obama in 2012 for the Democrat nomination. You don’t understand just how much of a living Hell the Race Industry would make that person’s life, for the rest of her life. And, in fact, they’d work overtime once she was dead to brand her a racist forever in the history books.
You need to see that there’s no short term when it comes to the Race Industry: once they aim the RACIST! and YOU STOLE IT FROM THE BLACK MAN weapons at someone like Hillary, it’s not just her political ambitions that would be over. Her life could be over too, because the more hate the Race Industry gins up, the more disgruntled blacks will stew over Obama’s loss and look for someone to blame and take their anger out on.
You cannot honestly ask ANYONE to subject herself to that.
Oh. Okay. I guess the Blacks you know are very different from the Blacks I know. Sorry I brought it up.
The Race Industry is different from the individual black people you may know.
The Race Industry is more often than not at odds with what’s best for those individuals you know.
But, sadly, the Race Industry can gin up a lot of hate to aim at a target…which is what it would do to Hillary Clinton, without a doubt.
I think S.E. Cupp's column is on par with the MSNBC talking up John Huntsman. Neither of these people will ever be their party's candidate. Their only value is to the opposition; they will be used to divide their respective party.
This is a classic Alinsky move, making the Democrats live by their own rules: demonstrate that there are better Democrat candidates without saying the obvious: no Democrat, no matter how better qualified, could “take this away from the black man.”
Kevin: I had the opportunity to chat with several Democrats over happy hour this past Friday. All of them have come to detest Obama. While they would want an alternative in the primary, they all recognize that no sane Democrat would challenge Obama. Obama will own the complete results of the 2012 election, whatever they may be.
Did they say they were going to be voting for him while holding their nose?
One might, but the other 3 are a NO WAY. That being said, I am in California. It is a state so blue that Crayola had to come up with a new shade to describe it. California is sooooo bad that even our earthquakes have decided to relocate.
The best we can hope for is that Palin beats the pants off of Obama in 2012. So that a real Dem can run in 2016. It would have to be a Palin landslide, tho. Because there will have to be no question that she won. If it’s “close” the Obots will claim racism. And Obama will be s-elected by Eric Holder and the Supremes anyway.
I hate that this is the way things are. I really do. But you are absolutely correct.
Welcome sir to your Banana Dem-public!
Sad, but true. Many people need to start reading Hillbuzz and get a clue of how to win elections in the 21st century.
Ann Barnhardt throws this theory out to think about…….
Anyway, the polls are really tanking for Obama. It is either that or the media has received orders from the Soros machine to turn on him and the REAL poll numbers are finally being reported. Either way, it is getting ugly for Barry. I saw one poll wherein he was at 19% "strongly approve" which means that he is down to just blacks and Matt Damon at this point. There is scuttlebutt that Obama-Jarrett are planning on trying to bait a race war as their main 2012 campaign strategy. But, I see something else potentially happening too. Michelle Obama is going out of her way to look miserable and aloof. Here is a picture of her with Barry en route to somewhere last week wherein she has her iPod buds in her ears.
Now yes, I know that Michelle Obama is classless trash. BUT, she is also the fake wife of the usurper of the Executive Branch of the United States Government. She knows the optics this is sending. This is Michelle "dissing" Barry. Big time. Also remember that Michelle, her mother and the two girls flew off to Oregon for a quasi-secret visit to her brother Craig Robinson a couple of weeks ago. Family confab. Finally, Michelle and the girls took a seperate jet to Martha's Vineyard from Barry – only a few hours apart. WTH?
http://barnhardt.biz/
I still say that whenever they travel anywhere separately, it is because Michelle wants to cost taxpayers more money. I think she does this deliberately, to stick it to Americans while she can.
It’s also an ego thing, because she she travels alone, she gets her own entourage, motorcade, etc.
I am just surprised they don’t fly on completely separate planes, all of them: Air Force One, Michelle Antoinette’s plane, a plane for Daughter #1, a plane for Daughter #2, and one for Grandma Robinson. They ‘ve sent the dog BO places on its own plane before too.
I think just to keep making the taxpayers’ bills higher and higher.
It has to be deliberate.
It's part of their wealth-redistribution plan – take from the rich, and give to ME, ME, ME! I really hope that the Secret Service monitors the Obamas when it's time for them to leave the White House, because they are the types who would rob the place blind and take national treasures to their favorite fence in Chicago.
I hate to admit it, about my own country and First Lady (as much as I do not care for her or HIM) but I can't really argue with your first graph here Kevin. At this point, almost every "misstep" they make collectively or individually, does almost look planned and/or otherwise on-purpose.
Sarah is going to win in possibly the biggest landslide in American presidential history. It will take a lot of hard work by a lot of "little people" and will be a campaign for the ages, but she will win. The Beltway Glitterati and Chicago Thugs will have no idea what an angered, emboldened, and enlightened Conservative majority can accomplish. Exactly what our Founders envisioned.
That said, pretty much everything you said about Hillary will be applied in spades to Sarah – both before and maybe even more so after she beats the Bamster in 2012. I'd personally like to see her with Marco Rubio or maybe Herman Cain or J.C. Watts as a V.P. candidate. All eminently qualified candidates who I would trust in the top spot after Sarah's 2 terms are over.
And I still am having a hard time wrapping my head around someone who was a supporter of Hillary Clinton and makes so much sense in supporting Sarah Palin. Sorry…..
Great post Kevin, as usual, but really, you answered your own question in the first graph:
"Cupp is usually so smart about most things, so I also wonder if this is part of some strategy on the right to try to encourage more dissatisfaction with Obama by pushing the pipedream that Hillary Clinton could really challenge him for the 2012 presidential nomination."
Yes. The left projects what they want every time they open their mouths. They want us to nominate a weak or bad candidate like Romney or Huntsman, so they push them. They absolutely most fear the ladies, and is why Palin and Bachmann are continually crucified. So S.E. is turning their own tactics on them. I get it. I support it. I am usually an above-board person and do not like to stooping to such tactics, but we cannot survive another Obama term. If we have to resort to acting like sniveling, conniving Dem operatives to give them a taste of their own poison this cycle, so be it.
As an aside, it has been gratifying to see the "level headed left" start mumbling the same thing I said in 2008 when it became clear that Obama was the nominee – Hillary would've been MUCH better. And I am a republican. And have been for 25 years.
S. E. Cupp, as you probably know, works for Glenn Beck. For perhaps a year before he left FOX he kept saying that Obama would get caught up in a scandal and Hillary would have to ride in to save the day. S E and Glenn have probably had some talks. I actually think Hillary is brushing her steed.
She is not ready to saddle up yet, but her saddle is polished and ready to go.
Could it be Fast and Furious? Could it be the economy sinking…not just tanking, but worse than today? Could it be someone or something from his past? We all know his past or at least enough of it. But there are still lots of clueless people out there. If the progressives/marxists/communists get fed up with him, could they turn him out to pasture? Open it up for Kucinik on the extreme left, Hillary and/or Bayh in the middle. A nice good little primary.
I disagree with Kevin on Hillary. I think she could be a little more left than he thinks.
I think she is like McCain. We would have gotten to the same place, but perhaps slower.
After all, wasn't universal healthcare the baby that she tried to deliver for her husband.
Judy,
You need to really understand the role of the Race Industry in Democrat politics. If the black voters hate Hillary, she is doomed for life. She can’t do anything to upset blacks, ever, and anything seen as an affront to Obama will be used by the Race Industry to attack her.
I think conservatives have a hard time understanding this — and thus indulged in these Hillary scenarios — because you don’t think in identity terms the way Democrats do, so you don’t see just how impossible it is for Hillary to ever challenge Obama.
If Obama was a white man, Hell yes, Hillary would be sharpening her knives right now for a challenge.
Because Obama is black, this is impossible for a Democrat.
Conservatives really and truly need to understand this.
So no one can challenge him or just not Hillary?
The blacks I know either did not vote for him to begin with or the 2 that did
regret it. They are tea party members now. They weren't leftists. They
were democrats by default because their parents were.
I have 2 brothers like that. Fortunately my sister and I did not follow that path.
Judy,
No one who wants to have a national career after this can challenge him. No one credible can challenge him.
The only challenges he can have are from Ralph Nader and Lyndon LaRouche types. Crackpots.
Anyone else and the Race Industry will move in to destroy the threat by claiming “Hillary is trying to steal this from the black man!” or “Howard Dean is trying to steal this from the black man!” or “Evan Bayh is trying to steal this from the black man!”.
Blacks will never forgive that, and a Democrat needs to have black voters on her or his side to be elected dog catcher.
Sadly enough, I believe you're right.
Say . . . anyone heard from Harold Ford, Jr. lately? I rest my case.
Harold Ford Jr. was done in politics when he married a white woman. That is the cardinal sin in the black community, for any black man who wants high elected office. He will never get back in the Race Industry’s good graces as long as he is married to a blonde white woman.
That’s why Barack Obama had to marry a woman like Michelle.
Instead of, say, Kal Penn…like he would have wanted.
Hillary still has debts from the 08 election. The only scenario I see for Hillary to run is at the 2012 convention ( because he could not face defeat in the debates and election) Obama announces he will not run for reelection and the convention should nominate Hillary. The money Obama has raised would have to be turned over to Hillary.
Colint,
That still wouldn’t work. The Race Industry would call for riots the next day, because it would REALLY look like Hillary “stole it” from Obama at the convention. Just imagine how shocked people would if Obama campaigned for all those months and at the convention Hillary was made the nominee instead?
There would seriously be riots. She would never let that happen to herself.
The only way that Obama would lose support from the black community is a gay scandal. If it was found out the that first "black president" was gay-it wouls be over for him. Maybe, there is a chance for Hillary yet.
Honestly, look at Michael Jackson, even a gay scandal wouldn’t make Obama lose black support.
OJ is another example – even murdering someone won’t make blacks walk away.
The only thing that would do it is if blacks became convinced he was really majority Arab and just 6% black, then MAYBE they’d abandon him.
It is always about race.
