Meet the Press host Chuck Todd told Morning Joe Wednesday the number of GOP figures now seriously considering a 2016 run showed Hillary Clinton was not the formidable candidate the press had made her out to be.
“A lot of Republicans obviously believe 2016 is going to be the best chance at the presidency in a long time, or they wouldn’t be clamoring to get in,” Todd said.
“This means a lot of Republicans look at Hillary Clinton and are not intimidated. I’m sorry, nobody a month ago thought Bush, Romney, and Christie would be in this race.”
Cohost Joe Scarborough asked if Clinton’s book tour, marred by low sales and several micro-scandals, had in fact lowered her status as the inevitable candidate.
Todd agreed. “If she’d had a different type of book tour,” he asked, “do we think Jeb Bush gets in, do we think Mitt Romney reconsiders?”
Rumors that Clinton’s inevitability was a media creation of shows just like this one went unconfirmed at press time.
