As we get ready for the assumed launch of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on Sunday, here’s GOP consultant and Twitchy regular Rick Wilson with some well needed truthiness. Hillary is just not a very good candidate:

Do you really want an American President who is so scared of the media she is forced to live behind a shield wall of handlers at all times?

I've seen this in focus groups in both 2000 sen, and 2008 presidential. Ask voters what Hillary Clinton stands for. Then wait. "Um. Um. Um."

You MIGHT get "pro-woman"…MAYBE.
