The Clintons are hatching a plan for their comeback

The Clintons are already plotting their comeback, a new report details.

Hillary Clinton is looking for a path to return to the political fray, as both she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton,
examine how the former secretary of state suffered the most surprising, epic political defeat in recent memory, Politico reports.

“Despite the grave disappointment, resilience is in the Clintons’ DNA. So, while I certainly don’t expect to see them trying to assert their authority,
I think there will be natural and welcome opportunities for them to engage,” said Mack McLarty, Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff.

Oh, I believe illary is hatching a plan alright and it includes disposing of her sick, sicko hubbie.

Did you see the look on her face at the Inauguration? Yep.

Bill is the one who trembles and drools. They both have neurological issues that appear pretty damn serious.

Those who ran her were quite ok with her failing health as President. Sh would have had more “touch of the flu”s than a Soviet Premier. Probably a ValJar like Huma would have been steering for the bosses while Hillary lay like a side of beef somewhere.

If she does, I wonder which baseball team she will have always been a fan of?

Rolls Royce level medical care can do a lot even for the walking near dead.

I think after all the crap the Clinton’s put us through the last 20 years, she at least owns us a filmed seizure in public.

They could send all the talking heads on TV they liked but they couldn’t overcome the reality that she literally needed days to recover from brief appearances. Not only did she lack enthusiasm but momentum of any kind was impossible.

“If someone they knew was running for the Senate or the Statehouse or City Hall, it would be out of character for them not to be supportive,”

After two disastrous presidential runs, I'm thinking there are not too many Democrats running for the Senate or the Statehouse or City Hall who would want Hillary's "help."

I’d half expect her to fall for that.

Obviously the media would have moved heaven and earth to give us a 21st century FDR and wouldn’t have given a thought to her fitness for office

It also speaks to the woman’s ambition. She didn’t care if the campaign killed her; she would be king at any cost.

She has the ambition of Richard the third. She would kill her nephews or anyone else who stands in her way to be king if she believes she could escape the consequences.

I'm surprised she got as many votes as she did; in fact, it's quite disturbing. Granted, just about any dem candidate is guaranteed a large baseline of votes esp due to having a huge advantage in the urban population-packed cities...but given Hillary's enormous character flaws, corruption, and incredible lack of personal likability and charisma, she should of done worse.

She was only able to do as well as she did because she had a favorable press overwhelmingly on her side pumping her up and protecting her as best they could; she had a huge monetary advantage over Trump; and while Trump's inexperience and temperament were a big asset in some ways, it also likely hurt him with some voters who didn't want to take a chance. Still, given all that, she was only able to get the popular vote by 2% and *150%* of her margin was from CA, which shows how unhealthy and skewed it was...as opposed to Obama in '12 and Bush in '04 whose popular vote margins were about 60% from CA and TX respectively--which shows how broad-spectrum their support was. Hillary's was limited and very localized.

Anyhow, as long as Trump does a decent job (and doesn't break any of his big promises!), he will be hard to take out come 2020 as he'll be the sitting President with all the powers, prestige and advantages being an incumbent confers.

And at this point I do not see anyone on the horizon for the Dims to run in 2020.

The bench for the Dims is pretty thin. They don’t have any really promising Governors out their ready to step up and make the run.

Look at the two fossils that they ran last year. Killery and Burney the Commie; those two are the bottom of the barrel.

Serious. Trump did not need a cadre of doctors to visit Ground Zero on a 70 degree day.

I suspect Cory Booker will run, despite what he claims otherwise. Some dems see him as Obama 2.0...but if he did run and get the nomination, he won't have the huge historical distinction and orgasmic impact of being the potential 1st black president, esp following so soon on the heels after Obama. So what might be an enormous factor and leg up would be diminished, and some voters who went for Obama wanting to be a part of making history, won't feel the same with Booker. Also, he would be facing Trump and not spineless and scared-of-being-a-"racist" opponents like McCain and Romney. And being a confirmed, childless bachelor...not sure how that would play out on the national stage.

Many progressives loathe Booker though, for being an establishment, corporate wh0re and are enraged by his vote on the recent pharma bill. So the dems would have to deal with pissing off their Bernie wing.

I thought Hillary looked fine at the inauguration. And did at other times during the campaign, such as the last debate. So the question of whatever is clearly wrong with her health is all the more popular puzzlng to me.

Hillary's people carefully manage her public appearances. She requires several days of rest and reduced dosages of her normalizing medications to prepare for any major public appearance.

On the day of the planned event, she is given a strong enough dose of her normalizing medicine to see her through a few hours. During that time, she can appear completely normal, such as at the debates, or on inauguration day.

The reason she had so many episodes of infirmity during the campaign, is that they pushed the envelope too hard, and her body couldn't handle it.

This is why she failed to campaign hard in areas where she desperately needed to, during the critical final weeks of the race. It would have probably killed her to do so, which is why you saw her surrogates campaigning for her.

She truly is very sick, but she and her people are good at hiding it.

The MSM has been working hard for this since before he won the election - facts be damned.
