Hillary 2020? Trump better hope not.
The Washington Post ^ | October 24, 2017 | Michael Brenes

On Oct. 16, 11 months after defeating her, President Trump tweeted another of his regular insults about his 2016 opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton. Sandwiched between boasts about his presumed role in the stock market’s rise and his rally in South Carolina, Trump wrote: “I was recently asked if Crooked Hillary Clinton is going to run in 2020? My answer was, ‘I hope so!’”

Putting aside the reckless braggadocio — and blatant sexism — inherent in such a statement, the entire scenario seemed absurd. Most pundits (and most of the American public) discount the idea of Clinton running in 2020, doubtful she could win the Democratic nomination, let alone the election, after her stunning loss to Trump. Clinton herself has stated that her political career is over, that she is more interested in speaking out against Trump as a private citizen.

Nevertheless, Trump should be careful what he wishes for. Clinton might not be a potential candidate now, but the political winds can change quickly. Recent American history is rife with presidential contenders who lost the primary or general election and then went on to become a candidate in subsequent elections. Dissatisfied with the politics of the day, lured by name recognition and preexisting loyalties, the public gave each of these candidates multiple chances at the presidency and handed several the keys to the White House....

If hilLIARy does "run" it will probably be the first time someone ran for President from a coffin (given her curreent health concerns). Of course, the DIMs always have a lot of dead voters so who knows just what will happen?

One of the stupidest things I’ve read in a while. Funny though. Thanks for a good laugh.

“Putting aside the reckless braggadocio — and blatant sexism — inherent in such a statement,...”

Where is the “blatant sexism” in the phrase, “I hope so”?

If the left didn’t have racism and sexism to blurt out for no particular reason, they’d have nothin’.

He literally never earned 1 buck in the real world. I’m shocked.

Stevenson lost twice to the same candidate (Eisenhower.)

She isn’t going to be able to walk, much less run, in 2020. I would expect that iron lungs and cryogenics are going to have to figure prominently in the purported Democrat resurgence...

Did The Onion purchase the Washington Compost from Jeff Bezos?

They could probably afford it. Onion likely has more profits than the Compost.

HilLIARy defeats herself.
Trump can just stay at his fancy hotel and maybe tweet a little if he feels like it, and win...

Bring it on. Kankles torched $1.2 bilion trying to get elected, and she was defeated in an electoral landslide. It would be so much fun to humiliate her a third time!

Nothing will unite the Republican party faster than that cold, smarmy, arrogant, treasonous murdering BITCH running for President again.

Liberals - finding racism and sexism where there is none. And then they wonder why people just ignore that blather any more.

Chauvinists, Sexists, Misogynists (Hillary Clinton REMIX)

Hillary Clinton is Evil! (REMIX)

How can you say being an “archivist” is not earning a real buck? SNORT.

What do you suppose an “archivist” does, anyway? At home, its “Honey, I’m going to put the tax returns in this file drawer just in case you need them.”
