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.

They should freeze her head and wait until medical science invents a way to put it on a new robot body. Then she can run for president and have the energy to have rallies (but will it be solar or will she sell out for the nuclear fusion packs?).
Robot Hillary can run and win in 2150.
Unless Robot Trump runs against her, and he’ll be made of liquid metal so it will basically a Terminator movie instead of an election.
In four years she is likely to be pushing up daisies...
Never happen. Potential Dem candidates will not voluntarily clear the field for her again.
She could barely fulfill campaign obligations on a scale of 1 or 2 a week.
She may not have the media campaigning for her again.
Even many Dems would likely revolt against another run by her.
And she will have aged even more.
Yep!!!
“Not sure she will be alive...in 4 years.”
Does a democrat have to be alive to serve? They don’t to vote.
Democrats don’t want her. She’ll be 73 in 2020 if she is still around.
If she couldn’t beat Trump, who could she beat?
Democrats need a fresh face and Hillary is the past.
Please. Make it so.
With which eye?
Seriously, let her have her delusional fantasy, it’s all she has left.
I think Trump will be a great president, but if by some chance he isn’t and doesn’t earn a second term, the democrat who unseats him is going to make Hillary look like Ronald Reagan.
But not to worry, he will Make America Great Again if he can seal off the border, save the Supreme Court from a loony lefty majority, and get government out of the way so that the economy can get humming on all cylinders.
I think it’s illegal to run for president from hell, as it is not a part of the United States.
Good point..!
As I said on another thread if she runs again Trump may win all 57 states. Run Hillary, Run.
Hope she gets beat in the next round of Democratic Primaries then.
I’m keeping my options open too.
By 2020 she will be tan, rested, and ready!!
H->! should run as the CPUSA Candidate.
