Republican Strategist and CNN contributor David Frum is quite possibly the only person who thinks it would be a politically bad idea for Democrats to nominate the incredibly popular Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.
His reasoning: She'd make the party look too old...
Frum writes on CNN.com:
Hillary Clinton is 14 years older than Barack Obama. A party has never nominated a leader that much older than his immediate predecessor. ...
Parties have good reasons to avoid reaching back to politicians of prior generations. When they do, they bring forward not only the ideas of the past, but also the personalities and the quarrels of the past.
Furthermore, Frum hints Clinton would have to answer for her husband's sticky past: "One particular quarrel that a Hillary Clinton nomination would bring forward is the quarrel over the ethical standards of the Clinton White House..."
