Hmm. You know I was thinking the same thing, but I think she’s being prepped for 2020. I think the higher ups at the DNC are gonna sabotage Hillary.

I agree; the Democrats want Hillary to lose.

1) Hillary’s loss will mean the end of the Clinton era of influence peddling. The Chicago mob would for all practical purposes run the party apparatus.

2) The Democrats have to run against someone, to avoid the kinds of debacles that occurred in 2010 and 2014. Trump is, in their minds, the perfect bogeyman to help them regain control of the Senate in 2018, and perhaps the House in 2020.

3) S is about to HTF. So much easier to blame it on a sitting President than a former one, and Trump would be the sitting President who would receive all the blame.

4) With Clinton’s loss, the torch will be passed to a new, much more socialist, much more progressivist, much more ideologically pure generation of politicians. Leftists who think of the Clintons, Pelosi, Schumer, and most of the CBC as too old and not leftist enough would be able to rise up and claim the mantle of True Progressives.

P.S. Warren is toast. The 2020 nomination is Michelle’s, if she wants it.

That is an interesting thought, and, sadly, Michelle has every bit as much experience as Hillary did in 2000, so why not Michelle? She is a lawyer who never did much as a lawyer, and then lived in the White House for 8 years. Same as Hillary. I wonder why Mooch didn’t run for Senate this go-round. Maybe there is a seat she covets in 2018.
