Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus says he's totally fired up for 2016 because Hillary Clinton tries too hard and isn't a good politician:
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus says Hillary Clinton is “becoming sort of a caricature” and that “she’s not really good at politics.”
“I think she’s trying too hard and she’s not really good at this stuff,” Priebus told NewsmaxTV in a interview posted Monday.
The thing that prompted Priebus's attempted zinger is a comment from Hillary at a rally last week with Elizabeth Warren. Hillary's sin? She said "don’t let anybody tell you that corporations and businesses create jobs" instead of "don’t let anybody tell you that
tax breaks for corporations and businesses create jobs."
Yawn, right? But not to Reince:
“I don’t know if she was a little off-script on that particular moment, but it clearly wasn’t natural and it was certainly awkward,” the RNC chairman said. “And if it was serious, then obviously she doesn’t understand capitalism and democracy in a way that business and jobs operate.”
Wow, how scary! Hillary Clinton doesn't understand capitalism and democracy. Remind you of anyone? Oh yeah, Barack Obama, who completely blew his re-election campaign with his infamous "you didn't build that" gaffe, which propelled Mitt Romney to the White House in 2012 because what people really want in a president is someone whose mission in life is to protect and defend the job creators of America and to never say anything that could be interpreted otherwise.

Naturally, Reince is ecstatic that Hillary is making the same mistake as former President Obama, and is utterly convinced that President Romney will win in 2016 just like he did in 2012:
“There’d be no one you would want more to run against than Hillary Clinton, and on top of it, she’s not really good at politics,” Priebus said, pointing to her recent book tour, which he called a “disaster.”
In all seriousness, let's just file this one away for November 2016. According to Reince Priebus, Hillary Clinton is the GOP's dream opponent because she sucks as a politician. I can't wait to see how that statement measures up after they nominate Ted Cruz or Jeb Bush or Rand Paul or Mike Huckabee or Ben Carson or whichever clown manages to rise the to top of the GOP field. Something tells me he won't be so giddy then.
