The meanest things Democrats have said about Hillary Clintons presidential bid, ranked
Hillary Clinton isn't likely to have even a semi-serious primary challenge. That much we know.
But, her expected coronation hasn't stopped a few Democrats from offering some less-than-positive thoughts about her and her candidacy. Here's the five meanest, ranked from least mean to most mean.
5. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.)
"She is the leading candidate, whether it be Republican or Democrat, to be the next president and I think that she needs to step up and come out and state exactly what the situation is." - on NBC's "Meet the Press" March 8
How mean, really?Feinstein was critical of Clinton's handling of her e-mail controversy, but not exactly mean.
4. Sen. Harry Reid (Nev.)
"How can ... Jeb get away from [President George W. Bush's record]? I'll take Clinton baggage over that any day." - in an interview with theNew York Timespublished April 2
How mean, really?Coming from someone like Reid, it's basicallya compliment --albeit a back-handed one. It's notthe best thing to say about the presumed nominee of your party, but hey, who in national politics doesn't have baggage after more than two decades?
3. David Axelrod
"What happened in 2008 was that Hillary's candidacy got out in front of any rationale for it, and the danger is that that's happening again. You hear 'Ready for Hillary.' It's like, ready for what? Now Hillary's task is to define what it is that she's running for and running about, and what would the future look like under another President Clinton, and I suspect that's what she's taking her time working through now, but she has to answer that question." - on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" December 16
