Barely two months after Hillary Clinton lost the presidency to Donald Trump, she is being urged by major Democratic donors and leaders to make a bid for New York City's mayor and challenge incumbent Bill de Blasio, Newsmax has learned.
"She's talking about it," a former city Democratic elected official admitted to Newsmax over the weekend, saying the idea has not been dismissed by the former first lady's inner circle.
"If she ran, she'd win," another source with deep ties to the Democratic and media establishment said.
Some Clinton advisers are reportedly predicting Trump will stumble badly in his first term, encouraging Hillary to stay on the sidelines in case she wants to make another bid for the White House in 2020.
Veteran New York Democratic consultant Hank Sheinkopf told Newsmax that Clinton "would be a terrific candidate for mayor."
"She is wildly popular among New Yorkers — so much so that were she to file, de Blasio would have to file his retirement papers on the same day."
Sheinkopf, a top operative in Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign, recalled "de Blasio endorsed her very late in the Democratic race last year and at times appeared to be quite friendly to Bernie Sanders."
Clinton's spokesperson did not return a call for comment, but her reported consideration of a mayoral bid comes at a time the embattled de Blasio is at his lowest ebb in popularity since taking office in 2013.
The New York Post started the new year with an editorial blasting Hizzoner: "[V]agrancy is way up, along with aggressive panhandling and related intrusions into public spaces. Plus, streets seem dirtier, graffiti is out of control, traffic is a nightmare, and the subways are crowded beyond belief."

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if she loses?
William F. Buckley ran for mayor of NYC on the basis of National Review having an apartment for him in Manhattan, so Hill can do it to.
money grubs that the clintoons are it makes sense.
I know i would pay money to watch her do herself in.
But hey, I just watched that for free.
Goes to show how bankrupt the Party is for “talent”....they keep recycling fertilizer......

HRC has lost her final election ~ she got ‘schlonged’ twice! First by Barry, and then by Donald, so her donors have all given up on the worst Presidential Candidate EVER!
These people keep coming back like a case of Herpes.
If she runs, she will win. And then she will completely fail.

Re : Post #66
“These people keep coming back like a case of Herpes.” HA!
Genital herpes, or Oral herpes?
...ANAL herpes!
“Genital herpes, or Oral herpes?”
With Bill it could be both!!
What is it about this bitch that the left want to keep her in the public eye.
Let her die on the ash heap of history.
A post election depression dealing action?
Go win, anything, even dog catcher...it’ll do your soul some good. You simply have to have money to steal, people to boss around, ash trays to toss....
Yeah, she could move the Mayor’s office to Bellevue Hospital and work from a bed there.
“Animal”
A wild ride, over stony ground
Such a lust for power, Hillary comes to town
Pry Crusty outta the closet, her Heinous is on the comeback trail!
Let her run! Then the GOP should Run Eric Trump as Mayor. She can lose to Trumps Son. Hes a good speaker and a family man to boot.
Another reason why we all say:
You CAN NOT fix stupid!!!
No. She would need a NYC address. Not sure how long before the election she would need one. Perhaps she can give Bill's Harlem office address. Whatever she needs. The law breaking liberals of NYC will “find a way”.
