Ready to go through the 2016 election all over again?
Philippe Reines, who worked for Hillary Clinton going back to 2002 and was her senior adviser at the State Department, made the argument to Politico Friday that the former Democratic nominee might actually be the party's best hope for defeating Trump in 2020. He said no other Democrat has "anywhere near a base of 32 million people," especially not Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) or Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). The party, he feels, shouldn't dismiss her as a failed candidate because she's "smarter" and "tougher" than most, and she "could raise money easier than most."
But it doesn't sound like this is just wishful thinking on his part. He really thinks it could happen, saying the chances of Clinton running in 2020 are "not zero.”
Publicly, Clinton has said she will not run again, but Reines doesn't sound so sure she'll keep her word on that. Politico explored Clinton's careful re-entry into the political arena, noting that she's going on tour with former President Bill Clinton this fall and has reportedly even called up journalists who cover the White House to put out "the occasional feeler."

Hillary’s Stretcher Bearers are buffing up as we speak ?
Well, consider the Dem alternatives. There really aren’t any appealing ones that seem “out there” at the moment.
Warren?
Bernie?
Biden?
Booker?
Because of his alignment with Obama, Biden is probably the best bet. But Hillary?
The hatred for her will only swell. But if the Dems convince themselves that Trump is terrible, maybe they think that she can swing states like WI, MI and OH and win.
It’s probably not that far fetched.
Would be great to see a re-match. A certain win for Trump. Not sure how Bill will be able to campaign with all those Me Too protestors.
Waddle. She might waddle again.
RUN HILLARY, RUN!
I have mixed feelings. I love the idea that Hillary is so weak she couldn’t beat an openly anti-American communist in 2008, and she could only beat a geriatric socialist in 2016 by cheating. However, just in case the democrat wins, I want them to nominate the best possible person for the job. It’s a shame there aren’t any democrats left who would even be marginally adequate (Zell Miller died earlier this year).
Picture the most psychotic libtard you’ve ever encountered, like the Mizzou lady calling for muscle. Reines is 10x crazier than her.
Please, please, please let the Fainting Felon be the DemocRAT to run against Trump in 2020.
There’s a chance?
What, 1/1024th?
“Will somebody please throw some water on this Wicked Witch already?!”
No way!!! Think of how pissed all the libs out there are right now.
This psycho nut can’t keep her mouth shut and can’t stand when the attention is off her.
This is hysterical.
Sounds to me like Phillipe Reines needs a job.
Talk about UNFIT. This evil woman is mentally ill and all the world sees it.
Lock her up!!!
Time to put the “RUN HILLARY, RUN!” sticker back on my front bumper?
Maybe we should encourage her tho — the ad lines are already written.
