Democrats tease Hillary Clinton 2024 presidential run in op-ed
NY Post ^ | 1/12/2022 | Mark Moore

Could a third time be the charm for Hillary Clinton?

That’s the case made by two prominent Democrats who claim a “perfect storm” of President Biden’s plummeting job approval ratings, Vice President Kamala Harris’ own unpopularity and the commander-in-chief’s advanced age could provide an opening for the former first lady and secretary of state. ​

“She is already in an advantageous position to become the 2024 Democratic nominee,” political consultant Doug Schoen and former Manhattan Borough President Andrew Stein write in Wednesday’s Wall Street Journal of the 74-year-old Clinton.

“She is an experienced national figure who is younger than Mr. Biden and can offer a different approach from the disorganized and unpopular one the party is currently taking,” they add.

If Democrats lose their House and Senate majorities in November’s midterms, Schoen and Stein argue, Clinton can capitalize on the losses “as a basis to run for president again, enabling her to claim the title of ‘change candidate.'”(snip)

“​Mrs. Clinton can spend the time between now and midterms doing what the Clinton administration did after the Democrats’ blowout defeat in the 1994 midterms: crafting a moderate agenda on both domestic and foreign policy​,” Schoen and Stein say.

Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greets supporters during a "Get Out The Vote" at Miles College on February 27, 2016.

“This agenda could show that Mrs. Clinton is the only credible alternative to Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, and the entire Democratic Party establishment​.”

You’re on Hillary Clinton’s detail.

She vapor locks like an old Chevy.

Do you just throw her on the floor of a van?

Check out the successor to Gus (from wikipedia):

Samuel Webb (born June 4, 1945) is an American activist and political leader, who served as the Chairman of the Communist Party USA from 2000 to 2014, succeeding the party's longest running leader Gus Hall. Webb did not accept nomination to be reelected as chairman at the 30th National Convention in 2014, at which John Bachtell was elected the party's new chairman. Webb continued to serve on the party's National Committee until 2016 when he renounced his party membership and joined the Democratic Party.

Probably nothing, when her supporters look around despite her obvious baggage, they see a mentally deficient Biden, a colossal bitch in Harris and no one else, so why not Hillary, the 2016 election was stolen from her in their minds, it’s entirely feasible they believe she’s the right person for President.

“Team Obama will have something to say about this”.

He certainly will. He might allow her to become another puppet and she wouldn’t care because of her ego and she would go full out on getting her enemies (us).

Obama’s and his superiors’ policies would be implemented.

Her rank and file supporters don't pick the party nominee. That is generally done by the power brokers within the party. In 2 years many of the old Dem guard will be moving on, and the progressives who are taking over the Dem party owe Hillary nothing and she offers them nothing, therefore she isn't going to get the nod.

I always laugh when I see that video of her being tossed into the limo. Like a bag of manure bought at the local ag supply store.

Eugene V. Debs has him beat . . . 5 times Socialist Party candidate.

Difference is, everybody liked Gene Debs. Even the warden of the Atlanta Pen where he spent a long vacation . . .

Erick Erickson: If GOP supports Trump, ‘I’m not a Republican anymore’

Glenn Beck:
“It is not acceptable to ask a moral, dignified man to cast his vote to help elect an immoral man who is absent decency or dignity,” Beck wrote on Facebook in reference to Trump. “If the consequence of standing against Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it. At least it is a moral, ethical choice.”

Ask the Bernie Sanders supporters how that worked out ???

The Democratic Party much like the Republican Party are slaves to money, if Hillary can raise the cash she will be a contender.

If the Democrats take a real beating in the 2022 midterms all bets are off for the progressives.

We should all be rooting for Hillary, she’s beatable and her candidacy would start open civil war inside the democratic party.

Nothing would please me more than Trump defeating her again.

Nobody is rooting for Hillary, even her own party finds her unlikeable. She will not be the nominee.

“...President Biden’s plummeting job approval ratings, Vice President Kamala Harris’ own unpopularity and the commander-in-chief’s advanced age..”

But he is the most popular president in history..? No one ever had so many votes.

That’s the reason we should all be rooting for Hillary.

She’s unlikeable, but she has rich friends who can raise a ton of money and that’s what drive politics.

She can easily be defeated, which makes her more desirable as a candidate to me.

What more pleasure can you ask for than Trump defeating her again, that would be off the charts fun.

Leaving aside all the other reasons Killary should not be POTUS, just what we need. Another “old” person in power.

Thank goodness the POTUS job is term limited. But will we survive 4 years (hopefully not 8) of this harridan ruling over us?

It is not clear yet that Soros has decided who will be at the top of the hitlary-moochelle ticket...

It already has a guaranteed 90- million communist votes...

There is no need to actually have an election...

A lot.

She is permanently damaged behind repair.

However, by claiming to run she may be hoping for cover from criminal charges !

Puh-leaze! The Democrats your love wasting niece idiotic, communist fossils upon us.

Hillary has no chance of winning election for public office, Americans now know what Hillary is and she can no longer ride on Bill Clinton’s coattails.
