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."

William F. Buckley ran for mayor of NYC on the basis of National Review having an apartment for him in Manhattan, so Hill can do it to.

HRC has lost her final election ~ she got ‘schlonged’ twice! First by Barry, and then by Donald, so her donors have all given up on the worst Presidential Candidate EVER!

If she runs, she will win. And then she will completely fail.

This is why it is critical that DJT vanquish this evil. If not, it will return with vengeance. “In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and IT WILL RISE UP A THOUSAND FOLD IN THE FUTURE. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

Yeah, she could move the Mayor’s office to Bellevue Hospital and work from a bed there.

Let her run! Then the GOP should Run Eric Trump as Mayor. She can lose to Trumps Son. Hes a good speaker and a family man to boot.

Is chappaqua in NYC?..........

No. She would need a NYC address. Not sure how long before the election she would need one. Perhaps she can give Bill's Harlem office address. Whatever she needs. The law breaking liberals of NYC will “find a way”.
