Hillary Clinton Urged to Run for New York Mayor

Barely two months after Hillary Clinton lost the presidency to Donald Trump, she is being urged by major Democratic donors and leaders to make a bid for New York City's mayor and challenge incumbent Bill de Blasio, Newsmax has learned.

"She's talking about it," a former city Democratic elected official admitted to Newsmax over the weekend, saying the idea has not been dismissed by the former first lady's inner circle.

"If she ran, she'd win," another source with deep ties to the Democratic and media establishment said.

Some Clinton advisers are reportedly predicting Trump will stumble badly in his first term, encouraging Hillary to stay on the sidelines in case she wants to make another bid for the White House in 2020.

Veteran New York Democratic consultant Hank Sheinkopf told Newsmax that Clinton "would be a terrific candidate for mayor."

"She is wildly popular among New Yorkers — so much so that were she to file, de Blasio would have to file his retirement papers on the same day."

Sheinkopf, a top operative in Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign, recalled "de Blasio endorsed her very late in the Democratic race last year and at times appeared to be quite friendly to Bernie Sanders."

Clinton's spokesperson did not return a call for comment, but her reported consideration of a mayoral bid comes at a time the embattled de Blasio is at his lowest ebb in popularity since taking office in 2013.

The New York Post started the new year with an editorial blasting Hizzoner: "[V]agrancy is way up, along with aggressive panhandling and related intrusions into public spaces. Plus, streets seem dirtier, graffiti is out of control, traffic is a nightmare, and the subways are crowded beyond belief."

Ever have a really poorly designed toilet that just will not flush all the turds?

You know, after the flush, one slowly floats up to the up?

Again.

"If she ran, she'd win,"

Where have I heard that before?

Obama will have to pardon her and the family, in order to protect her from prosecution.

THAT...right there, will be a stick big enough for any challenger to beat her like a pinada.

Hillary. Pinada.
What a nice thought.

“If she ran, she’d win,”

Are you SURE?
Because I’ve seen how these things can turn out.

Yeah, Holder just popped up in Calif.

So it is coast-to-coast.

If they would just stick to one state, fill it full.

Hillary is in at least a Stage 3 Parkinson's Disease condition or similar neurological affliction. Soon Stages 4 & 5, followed by a dirt nap. She's not physically fit to hold public office, leaving aside her immoral, unethical, and criminal problems.

Bonus question: If Bubba outlives Hillary, what will life be like for him afterward?
