If you thought a devastating loss to Republican Donald Trump four weeks ago and to rival Barack Obama in 2008 was finally going to put former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton out of the political game for good, think again.
According to veteran reporter Ron Fournier, someone who has been closely covering the Clintons for years, Hillary Clinton is keeping her options open for yet another presidential run in 2020.
Third times-a-charm? Not so much.
Clinton's biggest problem going into Election Day was a lack of enthusiasm and by the time results started rolling in, it showed. Her so-called "blue-firewall" of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania was bulldozed by Trump, who took all of them in addition to Ohio. The Obama coalition failed to show up to vote for her and if she chooses to run again in 2020, they'll stay home again. Not to mention Clinton barely made it out of the 2016 democrat primary against Bernie Sanders, whose supporters stayed home or supported third party candidates.
Clinton's strategy was to run against Trump, not on her own policies or platforms. That failed. She is a representation of the past, not just for Democrats but for the entire country. The scandal plagued cloud that has followed her since her early days on the Watergate investigation never dissipated and in fact has only gotten darker as she's gained more power. The majority doesn't want that kind of corruption around anymore.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. A third Clinton run would be insanity.

And all you said...means she could get elected....
she’s trying to set up a scenario where it would look really, really bad if she was truly investigated and indicted.
“I fully support her in this endeavor. She need not wait till 2020, since Cuba could use a new president sooner. “
No! I want Ted Scruze to run for “El Commendante” of Cuba. Since he’s shown us he can be a dictatorial a$$hole, I’m sure Cuba will welcome him with open arms!
I guess she’s figured out how to run from a pine box, because I’d be surprised if she actually lives that long. At least I’m hoping she doesn’t, because I have a case of cold beer and a map of cemeteries in Chappaqua.
They’re just teasing us now.....
What a moronic empty statement to make.
If Dr. Noel was correct that she has Parkinson’s Disease, Hillary won’t be in any condition to run in ’20.Perhaps, Please God, my purple state will have the good sense to pass a law requiring presidential candidates to submit to enough of a physical exam to guarantee that the physical/neurological fitness of anyone who gets on the ballot will be a known quantity. Or at least, if a candidate does not submit, such candidate will not be on the same line as candidates for other offices - assuring that such candidate would be seriously disadvantaged in running for president or that the party which nominated him/her would be.
We must be about the same age. Your memory is similar to mine. Stevenson ran a lackluster campaign, I read later, because his heart wasn’t really in it.
I was under the impression from reading what was written about Hillary on this forum, that she was on her death bed. Not expected to survive the next second. She was diagnosed by t.v. doctor after t.v. doctor with this, that, and the other. However, I did not see where she was seen by a licensed, practicing, Medical Doctor in his\her examining room and diagnosed to have anything. Her recovery was truly miraculous and should be covered in detail by all Professional Medical publications.
True. But, remember, Hillary's special. She's a womb-man. Hear her roar – and cough. Hack, cough, hack hack...
Lighten up Francis! Now, go back to your Cessna!
Bingo! She hopes to stop the rats from jumping ship and keep the quid pro quo gravy train going as long as she can.
No thanks. I’ll continue to call out ridiculous Cruz snipes, as I see fit. The primary is over, and Cruz is on the Trump train now.
“Cruz is on the Trump train now.”
Yeh, in the caboose!
