Could Trump’s impeachment crisis push Hillary Clinton to run in 2020?
Hot Air ^ | September 29, 2019 | Jacob Heilbrunn

Now it’s difficult not to wonder if Clinton is pining for another go at Trump to try and prove that she has what it takes to oust him from the Oval Office. The conventional wisdom is that Biden is too old to make a real run for it and that Elizabeth Warren is too left-wing. Wall Street hates her as much as she hates it. By contrast, Hillary comes from what used to be called the New Democrat wing of the party. Wall Street loves her as much as she loves it. If she jumped in the race now, she could argue that now more than ever Democrats need her to regain what was stolen from them in 2016. The name of her book about the race was called What Happened. Now she could declare, “It’s happening!”

For his part, Trump would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate that 2016 wasn’t a fluke. Far from stealing anything, he won it fair and square. The Republican base would also savor the opportunity for Trump to battle Clinton and revive his chant of “lock her up.” As Trump’s tweets today show, he has lost none of his zest for going on the offensive, condemning Peter Baker of the New York Times and New Yorker writer Susan Glasser as frauds: “Obama loving (wrote Obama book) Peter Baker of the Failing New York Times, married to an even bigger Trump Hater than himself, should not even be allowed to write about me. Every story is a made up disaster with sources and leakers that don’t even exist.”

Probably the Obamas are assisting with pushing Uncle Joe out of the race, and then they and the Clintons will have a showdown for control of the RAT Party. I can’t see the Obamas sitting idly by and letting the Clintonistas take over the party again!

This scheme is slimy enough to be her plan.

Until recently, I was certain that Hillary would not run, but now I'm not so sure. I agree that it is very possible that she has her hooves in this slimy plan to impeach President Trump. Hillary has convinced herself that she was cheated out of the presidency, and wants to claim what, in her sick, deluded mind, she believes is rightfully hers. She wants no part of the Democrat debates - why take a chance on something going wrong on national television? She'll lay low and let the other candidates destroy each other, then come slithering in "to save the party and the country."

She won’t ‘run’......she wants vindication.

Note when she speaks of THE 2016 election she refers to it as ‘MY’ election......she of course still sees it “her turn” promised and deserving of, and stolen from her.....and still not accepting ‘the voters’ didn’t want her nor do they now.

She will try to run only so that she can delay her sorry ass from prosecution, as candidates cannot be prosecuted if they have registered to run.

The title of the article is utter BS. Nothing could ever “push Hillary Clinton to run in 2020.”

There is no question that Hillary desperately wants to run in 2020 and is working hard to get enough democrat rubes on board to “draft” her to run in 2020.

The question is whether anything short of an asteroid strike wiping out all of the already declared democrat candidates (I lost count at 12) would be sufficient to push the democrats into nominating her again.

When Biden gets out it will be amusing if she’s crazy enough to get in.

The whole Ukraine and Biden firing of the prosecutor being bumped to the top of the news cycle, IMHO, is only being done to drive Biden out of the race and allow HRC to jump in to save the day.

Hey, it is her patriotic duty to be there for us //ss

This whole Ukraine nonsense has Hillary written all over it. She needs to get Biden out of the way. Wall Street has said they won’t give Warren donations if she’s the nominee, so the Democrats can’t go with her. This is the opening Hillary is looking for. Wall Street will support her. If she can hurt Trump a little in the process, she’ll take it, but I think the primary purpose here is to finish off Biden so she can run.

Politically he was a nobody. Never ran for office. Never had all the political connections you need these days. Never had the money connections with other countries, mega donors, etc.

the actual, for real “whistleblower” in this whole circumstance is the President and this retributive show trial being orchestrated in the House is about Federal retribution upon a whistleblower (President Trump) for having shone the light of day upon their treasonous, seditious conniving
