Insider: BHillary Clinton '50-50' On Running for NYC Mayor

Hillary Clinton is seriously considering a run for New York mayor, according to a major city political insider, who claims she’s “50-50.”

Supermarket magnate John Catsimatidis said he talked to the failed Democratic presidential nominee, and came away convinced she may try to resurrect her political career by challenging Mayor Bill de Blasio this year.

“I spoke to her about it, but she didn’t indicate or signal to me [whether she would run]. She didn’t say never, she didn’t say no. In my personal opinion, it’s 50-50,” the billionaire owner of Gristedes Foods told The Real Deal real estate blog Monday.

Catsimatidis, who supported Clinton as a donor, said he will delay his own decision to run for mayor until the former secretary of state makes up her mind.

“If Hillary runs, I won’t,” said Catsimatidis, who ran in the 2013 New York mayoral primary as a Republican, but lost to Joe Lhota.

Catsimatidis’ claim comes as reports say Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, are talking to top advisers about how they can get back into the political fray.

Hillary is receiving briefings from her former campaign manager Robby Mook explaining what went wrong in the presidential race, while Bill has been blasting FBI Director James Comey for interfering in the election, according to Politico.

What, are they inviting DeBlasio to a picnic in Fort Marcy Park?

Just knowing how stiff and stand-offish she is, I think she would make an absolutely horrible mayor of New York. Plus she’d have to deal with a lot of neighborhood issues that I’m sure she would find absolutely trivial and beneath her. She’d try to use the office as a platform to make pronouncements on the world stage, but that would get old real quick. Given what a disaster she’d be, I half hope she runs and wins.

Running for Mayor of New York won’t be nearly as taxing as running for President, all she has to do is announce and she’s elected.

Billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis is awaiting her decision because he apparently does not wish to become fish food in the East River.

She wants to be given this so she has some power to get rich again through pay to play foundations.

Does NYC have a residency requirement for the mayor? I guess she
can move into Chelsea’s abode and claim it as her residence.

Hill darling. Take some advice. Get on your horse (if you can saddle up) and ride off into the sunset. Your time is over.

Well that’s a step down. I wonder if she can earn enough through graft and corruption to pay back her foreign buddies?

“Catsimatidis, who supported Clinton as a donor, said he will delay his own decision to run for mayor until the former secretary of state makes up her mind.”

Once again sucking the air out of a race while she decides what she will do.

cripes...this is an opinion piece about somebody elses opinion about Hillary.
Rock solid

Despite what Catsimitidis thinks, the article said neither Clinton is expected to seek public office again, but former Democratic National Committee chairman Ed Rendell told the website,

of which I cannot find the related article.
This article is real confusing.
