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.
this is impossible - sounds like a man thought this up - women are excellent multitaskers and HRC among the best of them /sarc
Ya know......IF she loses the primary, she is NOT going to want to do the boring grunt work....what little that is...anymore. She will be a HAS-BEEn and a LOSER.
She is not going to lose, guarrantee that - because there is no strong full conservative standing in her way.
It’s alright though - the errors of her Presidency will be on full display, nowhere to hide. All the consequences of the Clinton 90’s will fall back upon them in front of everyone.
Be not afraid, and be prepared.
Sure it wasn’t McCain? Just heard on radio that McCain was going to! Who knows????
I can’t seeing her giving up her office. She’s power hungry.
I was thinking maybe the north or south pole. Seems they’ve got glaciers melting. She could put her true talents to work. Of course, we’d have to put ear plugs on all the animals. That voice could sterilize polar bears.
the republican convention would dump mcC if he picked hillary....LOL
Not gonna happen until she wins the nomination.
I’ll wait to see this confirmed else where.
It doesn’t matter how many millions she can make elsewhere, these types don’t give up any entitlement. If she quits, it’s only a public statement because some rule allows her to do so and still vest in her Senate pension which she otherwise wouldn’t do until 2012. She’ll probably take an extended leave of absence. medical retirement or something like that. She won’t walk away from a government pension.
Yeah, but maybe if we could get
Go ahead hillarybeast, just do it:-()
Let’s see, a Clnton relinquish power of any kind voluntarily...not a chance.
Waht’s wrong with the Clintons? I remember the days when any problem could be quickly resolved with a little judicious Arkincide. It seems that either they’ve lost their nerve, or some key personnel have retired.
Bubba & GW then could really bond as brothers & move to another country & work for a cure for Pyrones disease.
oh, please........she will become the reigning queen of the senate ala teddy kennedy style and rule the world from there forever sparring with whoever is president......
However, the notion of Hitlery surrendering a scrap of her power, voluntarily? Not conceivable, even in desperation.
I don’t believe it.
But I heard that if she loses, her and bubba will be divorced within two years.
