Chelsea Clinton being groomed to run for Congress
New York Post ^ | November 10, 2016 | Emily Smith

While some pundits are declaring the Clinton political dynasty dead, sources tell us that it is far from over. Chelsea Clinton is being groomed for the New York seat held by Rep. Nita Lowey.

Chelsea could run for the seat in NYC's 17th Congressional District once Lowey, a 79-year-old respected career politician with nearly 30 years in office, decides to retire, we have exclusively learned.

Lowey's district includes parts of Rockland and Westchester counties and, conveniently, Chappaqua, the Clinton family home base.

Chelsea has the charisma of a cardboard box. She couldn’t even cut it as her cush job at NBC because she was so awful on camera.

Not to worry, Webster Hubbell’s daughter is going nowhere via elected office.

The plan is to groom her for POTUS, and the reason O is staying in DC is they want to run the moose in 2020.

I’d think “bad eyesight” would be more beneficial.

The Kennedy clan has been popping out dynastic heirs for generations now. Lucky for us, most of them are idiots.

An exception was John Jr. who was more Bouvier than Kennedy. But he still managed to fly a plane straight into the sea.

Live don’t want anything to do with the Clinton’s. They are pissed Hillary screwed Bernie. Much of the protests against trump includes being pissed off with weak Hillary.

Kathleen Townsend Kennedy anyone? The young are not keen on dynasties. Hillary lost because she thought she was being crowned president. Oops.

Congressmen do not win presidential elections, either. Not really historically a winning path to the oval office.

And, best I can tell, they're not really positioned to generate the amount of graft that the CFF has come to depend on. They're small-time, like my former representative Corrine Brown, who was only able to skim a few hundred thousand off the bogus scholarship fund that will likely send her to prison, not even a year's salary for Chelsea.

That is exactly why Trump needs to really have the Clinton Foundation investigated from top to bottom. Chelsea is involved in it up to her ears, and all 3 Clintons belong behind bars.

To really clean things up, Trump and his people should uproot Bushism like the noxious weed that it is.

Maybe, after Chelsea gets out of prison for using money from a charity to finance her wedding.

This will be the “not with a bang, but a whimper” end to the Clintons.

A large part of the district is west of the Hudson — exurbs, not suburbs, and is a mix of Irish and Italians who reliably vote “D” but don’t care one bit for the Clintons, and Hasidic Jews who now HATE the Clintons. The Westchester side of the district was redrawn to put the African American and Hispanic machine voters of Yonkers and Mt. Vernon in Elliot Engel’s district. The Westchester voters who are left are high-income, high-education white liberals who won’t vote based upon name recognition.

If she runs, the Albany and county-seat Dems will get together and pick some smart, telegenic modern Orthodox Jewish Mayor or legislator from Rockland. He’ll win 70%+ of the vote west of the Hudson and keep it close enough east of the Hudson to beat Chelsea easily.

Ivanka’s mother , Ivana, was not a citizen at her birth or the birth of and Eric and Don Jr., so none of them can be President.

You’ll have to wait for Tiffany and Barron to carry on the legacy.
