I’ve argued previously that former first lady and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would like one more bite at the apple, and as Biden’s reelection candidacy implodes, her name has popped up once again. Frankly, I’m surprised it’s taken this long.
The Hill opinion contributor Pablo O’Hana thinks Rodham Clinton is just the woman who can save the president’s chances:
“But who?”
The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton.
For what feels like longer than two weeks, we have publicly and endlessly debated about Biden’s candidacy. Democrats have repeatedly called on him to make a decision. It is damaging, divisive and only serves to further improve Donald Trump’s chances. I have ferociously defended Biden in the past and demanded that Democrats fall in line behind our guy, but we need to put the debate to bed. If Biden is to yield the arena, we must consider why Clinton is not just a fitting champion to take up the mantle, but perhaps the mightiest of all.
"The mightiest of all." Trump beat her in 2016 despite being vastly outspent; what makes this writer think Hillary could pull off a win now after three-and-a-half years of Democratic failure emanating from the Oval Office?
Trump senior advisor Jason Miller couldn’t contain his laughter:
SHE’S RUNNING!!!
These opinion pieces don’t happen organically - Crooked is on the move!!!

But O’Hana was undeterred:
Let’s get this out of the way first: Clinton is younger than both Biden and Trump. Given the current furor over age, this is not a trivial fact; energy and stamina are equated with capability.
Yes, but she’s also exhibited concerning health issues. Remember when she appeared to faint getting into a van in 2016 at a 9/11 memorial?
Please, no:

Buzz Cut: Hillary? Oh, Hell No.
Health problems, the unlikability factor, and Hillary's past failures don't matter to O’Hana.
Clinton is a ready-made replacement. She possesses an unparalleled resume and an unmatched depth of experience. She has consistently redefined the roles she has served, from secretary of State and U.S. senator to first lady and Children’s Defense Fund attorney. Her extensive background in domestic and international affairs is not just impressive; at a time when global politics are increasingly volatile and complex, her experience is priceless. Her continued advocacy for children’s rights and health care—a topic of ever-increasing importance post-pandemic—adds another layer of appeal.
If so, this is great news for Trump.
She is the least likable politician of all time.— Alexander Sheppard 🇺🇸 (@NotAlexSheppard) July 20, 2024
O’Hana goes on, but I bet you’ve had enough (I most certainly have). He describes one of the most off-putting politicians of all time as some sort of Goddess, but if Hillary couldn’t beat Trump when she was virtually handed the presidency by Barack Obama, what chance would she have now? Very little is my guess.
As I said, I’ve been surprised her name hasn’t been promoted more since Biden’s epic debate disaster. Is this writer’s call for Shrillary a one-off, or will we see more of this? My bet is that Team Clinton is working overtime trying to create a “draft Hillary” movement.
Heard the grunting and a platoon of makeup artists putting lipstick on a pig ... the Benghazi Clinton reveal coming soon.
He heals an awful lot of praise upon her but doesn’t mention any supporting accomplishments. Didn’t I read somewhere that in her two terms in the senate she never sponsored anything?
geeze...once failed, not twice failed. she didn’t make the cut in one of them.
They never said “3 times failed presidential candidate” when talking about Pres. Biden, before he became president.
They never said 2 times failed presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
Right. Since Hillary is everyone’s pick for write in candidate, let us hold our collective nose and push her massive frame forward to do her duty and run 1 more time. (She can’t whine when she looses though. No crying in the democrat party. Just green peace and ill-gotten wealth.)
Maybe they get away with it as long as Kamala is in the VP slot. (?)
Cankles versus Cackles.
What about Kerry, Gore, or Dukakis? Jimmy Carter is eligible to run again. What about him?
That picture is downright hideous.
Hillary’s old gal Friday, Huma recently tied the knot with Soros Jr. . Surely Ms Soros can assist her dear friend Hilary.
Puh-leeze.
She’s been anxiously standing by the door with her coat on and her purse in her hand, waiting for the go-ahead.
She already has contacted Frauds R Us to get the wheels turning.
Wow. I don’t think it is her!
Look at how the wrinkles on her neck STOP at her chest!!!!!! And those eyebrows are not the ones she usually sports.
I don’t know - just looks like a mask.
😱😱😱😱😱NOooooooooo....
Who has the picture of her being tossed into the SUV on 9/11?
Yeah, right!
L.O.L!
Hopefully even more people dislike Hillary now than in ‘16!
The blowback for not choosing a POC candidate has got to be at the forefront of their decision making, if they’re not going with Kamala, no?
And bottle of hot sauce in the purse
Good gravy, sometimes I wonder if my time here on the pale blue dot will ever experience political normalcy.
Rush calls Billary “the most cheated-on woman in America.”
First, her “husband.” Then, a skinny half-black, half-white nobody takes away her 2008 Presidency. Then, President Trump overcomes all the odds, and Billary is, once again, tossed aside.
And now, for the most recent. She witnessed SloJo hide in his basement, not campaigning because he knew the fix was in. As Billary witnessed the largest gathering of fraudulent votes in the history of the planet, all that Billary could think is “where was all this fraud in 2016?
