Latest HOT HOT HOT Rumor From Friends/Fiends/Network News Sources Hillary To Quit Senate
As about 10 minutes ago, people are working this TOTALLY UNCONFIRMED rumor: Hillary will quit Senate.
Reasons are multiple:
1. A desperation attempt to show voters she is willing to put everything on the line" to devote all her time and energy to her quest for Presidency.
2. To do something, anything, to change the almost universal headlines about her imploding campaign.
3. Portray herself as a victim yet again.
4. She never had much power or respect in the Senate anyway. All her power stemmed from her position as the presumptive nominee for President.
5. She has no desire to work in a job where, assuming her Presidential bid fails, she would be equal to 99 others.
6. In Senate, she is limited in what she can earn on lecture circuit. Out of Senate, she will command $100,000 to $250,000 per lecture, 10 to 60 times a year, be waited on hand and foot, and work only as hard as she wants to.
7. She can keep herself in the limelight as head of some foundation she creates, and answer to no one.
8. She can keep her private life, which has been greatly restricted for the last few months, as open or as secret as she wants.
9. She can do what she wants, with as much or as little alignment with Bill as she wants.
10, More than anything else, she was only ever in public life for the power it would bring her and her desire to drive America into a socialist state, and the failure of this campaign signals the end of much of her political power.
The general idea is that she would quit anyway for reasons listed, so why not do it now when there a chance, however slight and desperate, that it might reignite her campaign.
Bingo.
How could she possibly think of leaving NY being she is such an avid Yankee fan?
I think you mean Argentina. She could be the new Evita.
Don't cry for me... the truth is I never left you. All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise. Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
To paraphrase George Burns, Just say goodnight Hillary.
Think RFK junior...this is the year for the second go-round of “Camelot.”
Never
>>>>> Her only reason for running as Senator was to be President. Does anyone really believe that she actually cares about the people of New York?
Exactly. That is the foundation of the whole report
The Politburo has an a opening for her.
Da da da
Hmmmmm.
Too bad we couldn’t put a Republican in that spot if this is really true.
Rudy? LOL!
Yikes, those eyes!
Never. She will never voluntarily give up living off the taxpayers. She’s been doing it all her life. They’ll have to carry her out feet first—that’s the only way she’d leave the Senate.
Dick Morris probably started this rumor, just for fun.
NEVER is right !!
She is too POWER HUNGRY !!
She is a lifer ....if she can’t be POTUS then she will have to settle for MAJORITY LEADER !!
The reason why Reid supports her POTUS candidacy !!
Divorce Bill ...again NEVER ...he makes too much $$$$$ !!
$$$$$$ she can’t make on her own !!
Two Dem Communists and neither are qualified.
