There is still time for Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg to enter the 2020 presidential race, as a field of weak candidates continues to fuel speculation of a dark horse savior, said former Clinton strategist Mark Penn on Sunday. “There’s still a couple of days here,” he said on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “I don’t know whether [Clinton will] look at the Michael Bloomberg thing and say, ‘the field’s too crowded now. I missed my opportunity,’ or the opposite. ”‘Wow the field’s weak, I could come in. I could get 165,000 donors, I’m tied with [Joe] Biden in some of these...

Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she doesn’t believe Elizabeth Warren’s Medicare-for-All plan would ever become law and that there are better ways to raise revenues than Warren’s proposed wealth tax. Asked at a New York Times conference whether she thinks the health-care plan released by Warren would ever get enacted, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said: “No, I don’t. I don’t but the goal is the right goal.” **SNIP** Warren responded on Thursday. “I’m saying, you don’t get what you don’t fight for,” she said, according to The Times. “You know, you’ve got to be willing to get out there...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded to a question about whether she’s going to run in the 2020 election and make a third bid for the presidency after losing two races, notably not ruling out such a run. After joking that she wouldn’t be taking up “competitive running,” she told a reporter at the New York Times Dealbook event on Wednesday that she thought he was asking about a different kind of run. “There’s been some teasing and some hinting that maybe you’re sitting off to the wings here waiting for some moment,” the reporter said. “I think I...

Be afraid, be very afraid. Barring some serious event in her life, Hillary Clinton likely will be nominated for President of the United States by the Democrat party in mid-July next year. “Ridiculous,” you say. “Why, even Bill Maher and Doug Schoen are against her,” you continue. That is true, but it means nothing. As do all of the other disparaging stories in the MSM about her public appearances and the possibility of her entry into the race.. Before anyone sweeps the notion her becoming President under the rug, it is important to understand, in the first instance, that, of...

**SNIP** “I can’t blame Trump for trying to help Sean Spicer,” Hillary began, referring to the president’s public support of his former employee who’s competing for the Season 28 “DWTS” crown. “But if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that these guys really can’t win the popular vote.” “Former White House spokesman Sean Spicer is now on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’” Chelsea continued. “It is an improvement on his old job, ‘Dancing Around the Issues.’” After skewering Spicer for his brief and controversial stint as a White House rep, the pair then directed their humor at their favorite political punching...

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton appeared to signal support for a more moderate 2020 Democratic candidate, telling those in her party on Monday to support someone who can win the Electoral College vote. Clinton famously won the popular vote in 2016 but lost the Electoral College and the presidency to Donald Trump. “We have to hope that whoever ends up nominated can win the Electoral College,” she said in Denver, according to The Hill. She added that a lot of Democrats’ candidates can win the popular vote, but “as I know ... that’s not enough.” Her comments came amid...

Hillary Clinton on Monday urged Democrats to choose a nominee who can win the Electoral College in 2020. "We have to hope that whoever ends up nominated can win the Electoral College," she said at a discussion of her book, "The Book of Gutsy Women," in Denver.

A Fox News poll released Sunday did not have great news for President Trump. His approval rating was 42 percent, with 57 percent of registered voters disapproving of his job performance and 46 percent strongly disapproving. A year before the 2020 election, he is behind all of the top-tier Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden (51 percent to 39 percent), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (46 percent to 41 percent), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (49 percent to 41 percent). Even worse, Trump is losing to Hillary Clinton, who isn't even running, 43 percent to 41 percent. Since Clinton is not running,...

A hypothetical matchup between Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in the Democratic 2020 presidential primary race showed the two nearly tied for the nomination. The poll done by Harvard Harris found that 19% of people would support Biden with 18% supporting Clinton. Without Clinton in the race, the poll found the former vice president pulling in 33% support from Democrats. However, nearly half of his supporters would jump ship to back Clinton if she were to enter the race. Clinton has helped fuel speculation of a potential run and is currently doing a book tour for her latest book, The...

“It seems like Republicans and Democrats are intractable,” said Mark Updegrove, a presidential historian and chairman of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation. “They are both adhering to their own versions of reality, whether they’re based in truth or not.” [snip] The biggest known unknown for both parties may be how the ongoing impeachment proceedings will be viewed by Americans one year from now. [snip] Updegrove, the presidential historian, said the question a year from now will be whether that matters. “If not, what will matter to the American people as a whole?” he asked. “Is there anything?”

Trevor Noah, the host of the Daily Show, asked Hillary Clinton in an interview about conspiracies that suggest the Clintons have murdered people. "I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while, how did you kill Jeffrey Epstein?" Noah asked Thursday night, which prompted laughter from Clinton. "Because you're not in power, but you have all the power. I really need to understand how you do what you do, because you seem to be behind everything nefarious, and yet you do not use it to become president." Noah, 35, did not give the former...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton moderated a post-screening discussion of the Netflix documentary The Great Hack, which covers the Cambridge Analytica Facebook scandal and the larger implications data mining has on democracy, at New York's Crosby Street Hotel on Friday night. “I’m thrilled to be part of this conversation, but I think the three people sitting here are the ones you need to hear from because they’ve been in the middle of this incredibly complicated and serious threat to individual freedom, to the rule of law, to democracy,” she said at the top of the conversation. But filmmakers...

“The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah asked Hillary Clinton how she killed Jeffrey Epstein during a Thursday interview with the former secretary of state and her daughter, Chelsea. The comedian’s question was a play on a conspiracy theory that the Clintons had some kind of involvement in the death of Epstein to cover up their connections to the convicted sex trafficker. “I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while: How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein?” Noah asked, met by laughter from his audience.

The hunt for Hillary Clinton's emails lives on. A top Republican senator is asking the National Archives and Records Administration to share any email communications it has between former President Barack Obama and Clinton. “I write to request email communications between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama. In January 2018, I requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) produce emails Secretary Clinton sent to President Obama while she was located in the 'territory of a sophisticated adversary,'" Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, wrote to Archivist of the U.S. David Ferriero on...

illary Clinton got into the Halloween spirit with a dig at President Donald Trump on “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah.” In a clip shared online Thursday, Clinton told what the show billed as “the scariest ghost story of our time” ― involving herself and her GOP rival in the 2016 election. “They counted all the votes and even though she got 3 million more, the orange man still got into the house,” Clinton recalled to a group of people, with a flashlight under her face. “But how?” one of the group asked. “The electoral college,” Clinton responded, eliciting screams...

The average American middle class voter does not care about impeaching President Donald Trump, according to Antjuan Seawright, the former top adviser to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in the key state of South Carolina. "Take off your South Carolina hat and put on one that says Rust Belt," said Judge Andrew Napolitano on the latest edition of his Fox Nation show "Liberty Files." "How does impeachment play there? We're talking in western Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin -- those states that your former boss lost that she probably should have won and that obviously put Trump over the top in...

Washington (CNN) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, sitting next to her husband, former President Bill Clinton, admitted Wednesday night that she had played a pivotal role in his decision to name Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in 1993. "I knew that of all the people who were part of the women's movement she was one of the key players because of her creative understanding of the law and her sense of commitment," said Hillary Clinton, who's a lawyer herself. She added, "I may have expressed an opinion or two about the people he should bring to...
