The Clintons Are Nervous About 2020
The Atlantic ^ | April 29, 2019 | Edward-Isaac Dovere

Posted on 05/10/2019 8:06:53 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Clintons are on edge about 2020. Like pretty much every other Democrat in America, Bill and Hillary are nervous that their party’s primary field is too large, that it’s going to be dominated by the wrong kind of debate, that the candidates will succumb to their worst instincts, and that President Donald Trump will out-bully them anyway.

While Trump was holding a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Saturday night, the once and would-be presidents spent the evening onstage, in the latest stop of the traveling show they’ve been doing all around the country for a combination of cash and adulation, being otherwise forced into retirement earlier than planned. There’s a bit of a farewell-concert-tour feeling to the event—Hillary, tell the story of the Osama bin Laden raid one more time! Bill, do a riff on the 1996 Israeli elections! Remember Arkansas? Look at all the little ways we tease each other in our marriage!

Worries over #MeToo associations kept many campaigns from booking Bill Clinton on the trail during the 2018 midterm election season, and Hillary Clinton has taken on a distinctive role in American politics, as both the jilted savior and the pariah, the embodiment of Democrats’ fantasies of how things could have turned out differently, but also of their fears of losing another election they can’t comprehend not winning.

But a week and a half after the release of the redacted Mueller report, three days after Joe Biden got into the presidential race pitching a Hillary Clinton–esque campaign rooted in experience and personal offense at what Trump represents, and two blocks from the White House, the 2020 race was clearly on their minds.

You have to be able to go inside her mind to understand just what an OBSESSION being in the White House is to her, going all the way back to college and meeting the guy who was going upward, then soon after helping to take out Nixon. Then the years of sleeping in her own room while her husband brought in babe after babe, then putting up with her husband trying to run the country way differently than she would have, then losing to inexperienced black man, then being forced to work for Obama in order to collect foreign money, then finally having her shot, at a person who was, by far, the worst choice the Republicans could make.

And then losing, despite the huge help from the idiot NeverTrumpers [the first bunch she would have locked up], and us horrific Deplorables - people who do not have the ‘values’ needed to move the country into even the 20th century, much less the 21st.

Now she sees a huge field of Democrats, with the top Democrat absolutely loaded up with ‘issues’ that she knows Trump will not ignore.

It is time for REVENGE.

And she announces in just over a month. What will be the fun part is watching her having to deal with the rest of the party telling her to get the F out - she had her turn.

I’m pretty sure there will be no election in 2020. For the first time in history, we have a major political party run almost entirely by traitors, Satanists, pedophiles and other assorted crooks. The goal of the cabal is to destroy America.

We can’t just pretend things are normal. The evangelist Mark Taylor is predicting Trump will very soon have no choice but to declare martial law and make mass arrests. If that happens, I’ll be 100% behind Trump.

The next presidential election could be delayed by several years.

Their appearance at the Park MGM in Las Vegas on May 5th was supposedly their last show.

None too soon. Nasty, criminal people.

Hillary’s running until the day she dies.

Her last words will be: “It was supposed to be MINE”!

Put the rapist and his traitor wife in prison!!!


He’s a far worse traitor than she ever tried to be. At least Bill got millions for all the eyes only TS/SCA documents and other extreme military top secrets he sold the Chinese for “campaign” cash.

“I swear I am going to be dancing a jig the days they die.”

When they die will be a good day for America. Maybe an even better day would be if/when they’re doing the Susan McDougal shuffle with chains around their ankles and wrists, ensconced in orange. And then there’s the day when they’re sentenced to 8’x10’ cement cells for the duration. All would be good, jig-dancing-worthy days.

That was the single best political move in my lifetime. Bar none.

A wise person is nervous anytime there is a Democrat running in any election.
