Hillary Clinton has all but avoided appearing at campaign events since her stunning 2016 loss, but some Democrats believe she would be a welcome voice in the 2018 midterms.
Despite polling that shows Clinton with low favorability ratings, they say the former secretary of State could help Democratic candidates in congressional districts she won last year.
For me, it's a no-brainer, former Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman during the 2012 and 2014 election cycles, said in an interview.
If she's willing to go into those districts she won, she would be extraordinarily helpful, he said.
Trump's numbers have only fallen in those districts, so you start there. It would be such a loss if she sat it out and a double loss if she didn't go into those districts.
Clinton confidants - who have spoken to the former Democratic nominee about the topic in recent months - are aware of the potential pitfalls should Clinton choose to hit the campaign trail. Clinton herself, they say, is aware of the tightrope.
Shes the human personification of what the split in the country is, said one Clinton friend. And look, she understands what that means and what that means for her. She's very attuned to what's going on. She's not confused about it. She has some people pulling on her to be involved and others who are saying, 'maybe not.'"
Those close to Clinton say she has spent recent weeks gearing up toward 2018 and preparing for the next phase of her political group Onward Together.

Oh, roll her out in a bejewelled GMC armored SUV. Bring me your dead!
I know I welcome it.
Please Hillary, remind folks of who and what you are.
Remind folks of what you have done and supported.
Remind them, the Democrat party was the one who canonized you.
Please!
Shes the human personification of what the definition of graft, greed and corruption is...........................
Here’s a suggestion. Shut the h3ll up, and go away.
My thoughts exactly. May the Dems always be too stupid to realize what an albatross she is on their party.
John Kerry(served in (Viet Nam): Bring it on!
The woman who can’t accept the result of a national election.
Right.
Trot her out, along with Pelousy and Mad Maxine; and throw in cowgirl Fredericka for good measure.
1st 6 J20 rioters walked today
DC jury
A guy on Fox just said the republicans should put her on the payroll.
A couple of thoughts. A few months in politics is like a geologic age for the Earth. Things change and I don’t think Clinton will age well; politically or physically. What these enthusiastic pro-Hillary Democratic voices are projecting is their tone deafness to how the politics surrounding Uranium One and the Mueller probe are evolving. By election time next year Hillary will be as toxic as plutonium.
Hillary campaigning in 2018? We should be so lucky!
I suspect this was the longest 11 months of their lives.

More old Cow Belle!
Yeah, the Party's boat anchor.
Here’s to that... gulp!

The witch is toxic. Her ego though is larger than that last butthead that cheated his way to the presidency. She’s the woman that will grab a blade to pull her out of the water. So f’n stupid and out of touch. Does God even love her? Hmmmm, no she sold out to Satan.
A this point, I would not be surprised if the next season of The Walking Dead is about Hillary & her ongoing political ambitions.
