Why Are You Still Talking About Hillary Clinton?

Good question - who will the Democrats have to run for president in 2020? Who will be their sacrificial lamb? Unless Trump screws up, 2020 will be a lot like 1984. And 2024? Pence, as sitting VP, is a shoe-in for the Republican nomination. If all is well in the US, 2024 will be like 1988.

I just hope Pence doesn’t turn out to be another George HW Bush.

The Clinton’s are a venereal disease they never go away

Time to confiscate the Clinton Foundation funds under some state’s charitable trust act.

[YepYep]

What a fantastic idea.

It looks like the Trump Foundation may no longer be able to help children with cancer at St. Jude. So surely it would not be a stretch to say the Clinton Foundation should no longer be allowed to fund various criminal, or crony, or Clinton-enriching activities.

This would also be a big step in DTS...

Me, too. Nuts to this double layered judiciary system where the rich get out and the poor spend their life of buggery in jail.

[OddLane]

LOL.

[Helicondelta]

Yep, 2020 will be like 1984. Trump will extend his electoral college lead.

The democrats will have on one side a lineup of oldtimers looking at their last chance to run (Hillary, Biden, Gore, Kerry) and on the other a group of fringe leftists (Warren, Ellison and others who have not yet emerged).

Their most viable candidates will be afraid of going up against Trump as sitting president and will wait him out until 2024.

That picture was probably the last time she washed her hair.

[Buckeye McFrog]

By raising trivial issues with Trump’s foundation, the press is virtually assuring that once in office he is going to conduct a thorough public examination of HER foundation.

Hillary received almost 3 million more votes than Trump. Her vote total is the third highest in history and could surpass Obama’s 2012 total (the second highest in history) when all the votes are counted. This will be her opening gambit to run in 2020.

That's all fine and well but I differ: sure, Hillary got almost 3 mil more votes but we all know it was in the wrong places, she was unpopular/had tepid support in crucial areas/states. We know this, the libs know this despite pretending the nation in general loved her lol. Also, it's not some huge achievement she got more votes that Obama given the population is constantly expanding, so generally, recent candidates/winners will get more votes that predecessors.

While that may/will be her raison d'etre for getting the nomination again, keep in mind life, let alone politics, is not static but dynamic...a lot will have changed and Trump is not going to be "merely" candidate Trump, but *President* Trump, and that carries and confers all the powers and advantages of incumbency. Look at Al Gore, he not only won the popular vote but it was also very messy, controversial, involved an excruciatingly close vote in just 1 state and the Supreme Court. If anyone had more of a justification to run and get the nomination again, it would of been he, not Hillary. Besides, he was much younger as well for a 2nd try; she will be 73!

Regarding #1...then why didn’t she do that in 2008 and if she did, why didn’t it work then?

[x]

She won't run again.

Everybody got out of her way this time -- except for Bernie and three no-hopers.

Next time, there will be other Democrats running and Hillary won't see an opening for herself.

Her case is like Mitt Romney's.

They both thought the White House was going to be handed to them, and after it wasn't they weren't going to put up the fight a second or third time that they didn't have in them when they actually had a chance.

[Flaming Conservative]

Hopefully, by then, the tally of illegal and cadaver votes will be available, to prove she did NOT win the popular vote.

[ReaganGeneration2]

I hear ya. I just can’t figure out why they ran her this time too.

Of course, given all the corruption, they must have dirt on each other, so they had to figure out how to avoid mutually assured destruction.

That's all fine and well but I differ: sure, Hillary got almost 3 mil more votes but we all know it was in the wrong places, she was unpopular/had tepid support in crucial areas/states.

The margins in PA, MI, and WI were quite small. We shouldn't delude ourselves. The Dems have won the popular vote in 6 out of the last 7 Presidential elections. Even unpopular and incompetent candidates like Hillary and Kerry made it very close.

Also, it's not some huge achievement she got more votes that Obama given the population is constantly expanding, so generally, recent candidates/winners will get more votes that predecessors.

Trump's total vote of 63 million broke the Rep record of 62 million set by Bush 43 in 2004, i.e., over 12 years ago. Obama's 69.5 million votes in 2008 remains the largest in history, by far. Hillary received so far 65,844,954 votes, only 74,000 votes less than Obama's 65,918,507 in 2012.

The rapidly changing demographics of this country fueled by mass immigration will make the Dems the permanent majority party. I watched over 30 years VA's transformation from a solid red state to now a solid blue mainly due to changing demographics.

If anyone had more of a justification to run and get the nomination again, it would of been he, not Hillary. Besides, he was much younger as well for a 2nd try; she will be 73!

It has nothing to do with justification. It has to do with Hillary's obsession with becoming President. She is not Al Gore who had no where the ambition Hillary has. I fully expect her to contend again for the nomination.

“The rapidly changing demographics of this country fueled by mass immigration will make the Dems the permanent majority party.”

Unless there is mass deportation and the repeal of the 1965 Immigration Act, Occupied California is America’s future.

The Democrat hard left has a super-majority in this state. The Left in this state hardly even bothers making pretense of being loyal to America.
