With mom still running, Chelsea Clinton’s already gearing up for White House bid
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS ^ | Tuesday, January 26, 2016

One Clinton at a time, please.

The private invite to Chelsea Clinton's Wednesday night fund-raiser, to be held at a swanky Upper East Side residence, reads that it's in support of her mother's 2016 presidential bid. But some of the big spenders plunking down the big bucks to attend say Chelsea's future in politics has been the talk of her campaign rallies.

"You're seeing the beginning of Chelsea Clinton preparing to run," says a donor who attended Chelsea's rally at Dr. Paul Boskind's Midtown home last week, where "limited availability guest" entry started at $250 and $2,700 "champion" tickets included a photo with Chelsea. Our insider says: "A dynasty is on the way."

The former first daughter, 35, has not been shy about her political ambitions, though where she’d begin her career in politics is anyone's guess. Last March, Chelsea reportedly told Sky News that she'd "absolutely" consider seeking office.

"She's clearly politically adept," says our Clinton supporter. "People at these rallies think she's prime for a run."

Wednesday night's Chelsea Clinton event is being co-hosted by tennis great Billie Jean King and billed as an "LGBT reception." Gay rights were also very much on Chelsea's mind at last week's fund-raiser, where she assured donors that her mom would use executive action to push through legislation that would benefit the LGBT community.

"My mom would try to get through executive acts to at least make it illegal to have insurance companies reimburse for conversion therapy," our insider heard her say.

According to our source, Chelsea also said at the last rally that "everything I care most about is at stake in the election," adding that "the next President will probably appoint up to three justices on the next Supreme Court."

Chelsea, who gave birth to her daughter Charlotte in September 2014 and has another baby on the way around the time of July's Democratic convention, told the crowd this election was different for her personally, because it will be the first time she's voted as a mom. And she said her mother "is the only candidate who continually talks about a woman’s rights to choose."

Even though she isn't in politics yet, Chelsea routinely gets complaints from New Yorkers on the street.

"She said she was just in a Duane Reade and someone came up to complain about government and recycling," said our insider. "She told the lady, 'President Obama has nothing to do with that. If you have a complaint about recycling, you should go to Mayor de Blasio.'"

Her first job right out of college got her $130,000 per week.

She prominently declares that she CANNOT care about money, but she lives in an $11 million apartment and she married a Hedge Fund Manager.

Sorry, Granny doesn’t have no stinking petticoats. This ugly turd will try and ride her mommy’s pants to some political position. Soon to be orange pantsuits.

The only question I have...

Will Chelsea be visiting Mom in prison? And, how will that look on Chel’s political resume?

Well, two questions, I guess.

"35 years old and what does she have to show for it? A college degree but absolutely no work resume."

A college degree that she never earned. She was never there. I lost all respect for Stanford when they bestowed that gift degree on her for never working for it.

Chelsea is to Bill Clinton as Caroline is to John Kennedy.

What? I've never heard anyone suggest that JFK was not Caroline's biological father...

"Do kids always parrot their parents’ beliefs? Evidently most do."

Hillary didn't. Her parents were Republican. I must admit though that the democrats do make me think that in some cases, abortions would have saved society an awful lot of grief, Case in point, Obama's mom, Hillary's mom, Bill's mom. Their spawn alone has nearly destroyed this country. Think how different America would be without just those three human demoniacs.

I knew her dad was a Republican. He was extremely domineering, so I think her mother probably sucked it up and told herself she was lucky to have a nice home. Her mom wouldn't have aborted her or her brothers. It was done but I can't even imagine that she would do that.

The other two, hard to say. Some posts are difficult to wrap my mind around, and yours is one of them. I can't say we would have been better off if their mothers had aborted them. I don't think that way. But I sure get angry and frustrated at what we have had to endure and what will have to be endured in the future.
