Cole: Hillary Clinton Likely Our Next President
Republican Congressman Tom Cole says Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton will likely win the presidency next year.
Cole's comments have considerable weight since he is chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Speaking at the University of Oklahoma, Cole said the Democratic frontrunner will not have a cakewalk and nothing is set in stone, but she is running strong while the GOP field is muddled.
He said Clinton is running like a typical Republican nominee; a frontrunner who staves off a couple of strong challenges. But he also said eight candidates in the two parties still have legitimate shots of winning with less than three months before the major primary elections.
"We haven't had this kind of fluidity in a long time," he said. "I think the country isn't ready to make a decision, and it's going to test the candidates."
