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....

[ 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! ]

She is owed a win by NOW....

( muffling my own laughter )

Hillary Rosenberg Clinton will have a tough time getting past the Uranium One scandal, now that it is getting attention again. Just one link to Iran or North Korea is going to be very difficult to sweep under the carpet or wipe clean, like with a cloth.

I don’t have a doubt that Hillary will try to run again. It is important that Trump and the DOJ put the final stake thru the hearts of the Clintons.

More like the female version of Gov. Harold Stassen, he ran for President about 7 times.

She couldn’t win an honest nomination from the DNC.

What a bitter woman. She has so many things she could be thankful for, but she just can’t get over not getting her way.

She also looks a bit scared to me.

She’s still depending on “if I say these words publicly, everyone will believe me”.

She has no clue. I used to have a business partner like that and he didn’t succeed with that attitude.

Reckless, no. Braggadocio, sure. That's one of the reasons why Trump is so popular. But sexist? Lol...I hope the WP and the rest of the MSM keeps pushing the criminal Hag every step of the way to the Rat nomination, and plays the "sexist / misogynist" card non-stop.

The Washington Post is one F-ed up newspaper. Bezos might want to turn it into a warehouse.

Oh, wait.

You said warehouse.

Not wherehouse.

My mistake.

Carry on.

You beat me to it.

But then again, Harold Stassen was a Republican.

"Stevenson lost twice to the same candidate (Eisenhower.)"

Hillary! can take a quiet pride in knowing she has exceeded the "accomplishments" of so many political losers. That must count for something.

More wet dreams from the Washington Post. If any of them are actually heterosexual, I’d guess they probably have pin-ups of Hillary on their office walls.

Literally.
