Dick Morris has been “thinking” a lot lately.
He thinks Barack Obama wants Elizabeth Warren, not Hillary Clinton, to succeed him in the White House.
He thinks the White House leaked the Clinton email story to the press to torpedo the former secretary of state’s presidential ambitions.
He thinks the email controversy will linger the way the Watergate scandal did in 1973-74.
How does The Hill columnist, former Bill Clinton pollster and one-time Fox News contributor know all of this? Hard to say. He just thinks it.
This kind of peanut-gallery analysis slays me.
Dick Morris hardly is an insider in the Obama White House. He’s become a fierce critic of the president and, for that matter, of Hillary Clinton. Does he have some inside knowledge? He might be moonlighting these days as a mind reader, for all I know.
Warren says she will not run for president. The president isn’t likely to endorse a party nominee prior to the convention next year. As for the email matter, the only reason is will remain in the public eye is because critics, such as Morris, will ensure that people like me keep commenting on it.
How credible is Morris’s thought process on these political matters?
In the days prior to the 2012 presidential election, he thought Mitt Romney would win in a landslide.
It didn’t work out that way.
