Rumor Has It Chelsea Clinton May Run for Congress in New York
Townhall ^ | 11/12/2016 | Jason Hopkins

Thought the Clinton political dynasty ended Tuesday night? Think again.

Sources to the New York Post are saying the Clintons are grooming Chelsea, daughter of Hillary and Bill, to run for Congress in New York’s 17th district. The district is currently represented by 79-year-old Rep. Nita Lowey. Lowey has been serving in office for nearly 30 years and mumblings of her impending retirement are growing.

Lowey’s district covers Chappaqua, an area where the Bill and Hillary have conveniently purchased a 1.16 million dollar home intended for Chelsea and her family. Despite living in Manhattan, Chelsea could easily move to the million-dollar home waiting for her and designate it her primary residence if she decides to run.

The anonymous source went on to say..

“While it is true the Clintons need some time to regroup after Hillary’s crushing loss, they will not give up. Chelsea would be the next extension of the Clinton brand. In the past few years, she has taken a very visible role in the Clinton Foundation and on the campaign trail. While politics isn’t the life Hillary wanted for Chelsea, she chose to go on the campaign trail for her mother and has turned out to be very poised, articulate and comfortable with the visibility.

“There has been a lot of speculation within New York Democratic circles about Lowey’s retirement and Chelsea running for the seat. There is a belief that Chappaqua is a logical place for Chelsea to run, because it would be straightforward for her to raise money and build a powerful base.”

It seems the Clintons don’t want to leave the public eye just yet.

Good grief. What a worthless candidate. Hopefully she will be jailed, along with her parents, on RICO charges to do with the Clinton Foundation.

I’m sure Chelsea is going to be to busy, with raising kids, working for money after her mother and father are in prison...she won’t have time or the backing to run for anything except a bus to go to prison...

I hear she’s as dumb as Caroline Kennedy. And therefore she’ll likely have as much success as Caroline—so go for it Chelsea. Make our day.

Not to nitpick too much, but Chelsea could run from any congressional district in New York. You don’t have to live in the congressional district you represent, though you must be a resident of the state from which you run.

I heard the Clintons bought a house nearby, and had originally announced this house would be for weekend getaways for Chelsea and family.

So there is no reason for "donors" to stop sending money to the Clinton Cash Foundation.

She’ll run her campaign just like Dear Old Commie Mom! No pressers and as LITTLE public exposure as possible.

The more that people SEE of Chelsea, the more people will DISLIKE Chelsea.

Then, wait for it, Charlotte Clinton for president in 2052. No, the Clinton infestation can never be eradicated, only controlled.
