A top Hillary Clinton adviser went on Fox and talked about how she could run in 2020. Huh?

There are few staffers who have been with Hillary Clinton as long -- or are as fiercely loyal to her -- as Philippe Reines.

Which is why Reines' appearance on Tucker Carlson's(!) show on Fox News Wednesday night to keep the door open to a late entry by Clinton into the 2020 race(!) caught my eye.

Here's the key bit from Reines:

"She ran for president because she thought she would be the best president. If she still thought that now, if she thought she had the best odds of beating Donald Trump, I think she would think about it long and hard....

''This is a huge if. But if she were jump in for whatever reason, and the party has moved someplace that she hasn't, then she won't get the votes. That's the point of the primary. There are still 19 people. There are a few that are in double digits. If she were to run, and people [say] she's too left, too right, too center, that's the beauty of it. They get to vote against whatever they want....

"She's not running because she has any anxiety about the Democratic field. She really likes a lot of the people running. She knows them well. She thought about some of them for her vice presidency. But there might be a reason that she would be the best person, not only to beat Donald Trump, but to govern after Donald Trump."

Remember when Gorka debated that twerp awhile back on one of those Fox shows? I thought Gorka was going to rip his head off. That guy is a little punk.

Hillary wants to run in the worst way. The only thing is how will she be able to top 2016?

She has to run so she can claim more reasons why she lost the last time.

That’s the point of the primary.


Entitled Hilary shouldn’t be expect to have to go through primaries. She’s entitled to the Presidency. Can’t you see that? It should have been hers in 2016 except for those dastardly Russians!

"cannot be a defendant"

I cannot foresee how past crimes are excused...crimes committed while she was a candidate for 2016 POTUS....

Crimes that will continue if a candidate for 2020 POTUS.

*Clinton Crime Family.

It will take about $1.5B to beat Trump.
She already blew that much by failing to win a can’t-lose race last time around.
The deep pockets won’t give her another dollar.

Hillary hasn't thought about anything long and hard for decades.

She wants to run in the worst way, and if she does, she will.

She wants to run and is putting out the feelers to prepare everyone. He is hoping to start some talk that will encourage her because she’s a huge meal ticket for him.

I guess that’s why she has had her operatives run a draft-Hillary astroturf campaign on F-book for the last year.

How can anyone be surprised by this?

Philippe has been lonely since Hillary lost and wishes she'd come back for him.

Who really wants to spend any time with a guy named "Philippe"?

“Who really wants to spend any time with a guy named ‘Philippe?’

Umm.. a closeted lesbian in a sham marriage with a guy named ‘Bill?’”
It’s obvious Phil was sent by Hill to signal her next move to the other Dim candidates.
Operative words from Phil:
“She really likes a lot of 5he people running. She knows them well. She thought about some of them for her vice presidency.”
Boom.
There it is.
She’s telling the current crop to tune in, drop out, & start sucking up.
