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....

Has PIAPS been un-naturally quiet for the last few days — maybe since (allegedly hurting her foot on the stairs? It seems she’s keeping a relatively low profile. Maybe the Russia-Clinton Foundation stories have her taking cover?

Hillary and I are about the same age and yet I need no help going up stairs...despite having two metal hips.

But then I don't have Parkinson's Disease.

The Clinton war room will trash any potential Democrat front runner if they get too large of lead in order to leave the door open for Hillary to ride to the rescue.

It is all about the Clintons. Not God, not country, not the party. In their minds, what is good for the Clintons is good for God, the country, and the party.

I have NEVER seen such idiocy as is being displayed by those on the left!

There is no way Hillary Clinton could ever get back the big donors that gave her an ear-full after she squandered their millions and millions of dollars on the most pathetically-run campaign history.

Re: 9

I've seen that gif a few times recently. Who is the white guy on the right? Maybe its an inside joke, but I don't recognize him. I believe the clip was from the movie Airport, sans the white guy.
