Scratch the surface of a gathering of Republican operatives and you'll
find some serious fear (you don't have to scratch the surface to find
loathing). Fear, specifically, of Hillary Clinton. Time's Zeke Miller
went to the Republican National Committee's spring meeting and found
"more than two dozen operatives and officials [who] expressed worry that
none of their party’s potential 2016 candidates can take her down."
One early primary state RNC member put it simply: “If she gets in,
we’re toast.” [...]
And one former Romney aide here warned that grassroots activists
pushing for an even more conservative GOP identity could seal the
party’s fate: “If we listen to some of the people here and come back
with a hardline conservative in 2016, she’ll wipe the floor with us.”
It's early yet and things can always change, but given all the
Republican rebranding fail going on here lately, they have good reason
to worry. In general. When it comes to Hillary Clinton, fear is the
right emotion.
