On Sunday night, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) shared one of the worst kept secrets of the Democrats: Hillary Clinton is a drag on the party. In a television interview, the embattled senator unloaded on the former first lady for dissing Donald Trump’s base and dumping on America’s hinterlands. As McCaskill said, “For those of us that are in states that Trump won, we would really appreciate if she would be more careful and show respect to every American voter and not just the ones who voted for her.” Ouch.
McCaskill is guilty of nothing but telling the truth. So long as Clinton continues to publicly nurse her grievances over the 2016 election, the Democratic Party’s task of recapturing the House and Senate is made that much more difficult. It is one thing to finesse a message that can appeal to high-end suburban moms without offending white working-class voters. It is a whole other thing to do so under the shroud of Clinton’s audible shadow.
From looks of things, duking it out with Trump is better left to Joe Biden. For the Democrats, a vanishing Clinton allows them to break with the turbulence that marked the Clinton years, their aftermath, and Trump’s win. The question is whether Clinton will give the Democrats the breathing room they need. If past is prelude, don’t bet on it.

Like Donna Shalala running for Congress in Florida?
LEAVE HILLARY ALONE!
HRC is like my toenail fungus... just when you think you are getting rid of it (her)... shazaaam! back again and just as ugly and nasty as ever.
As long as pickles has a pulse and any brain function, she will be first and foremost.
The great thing is her incredible narcissism and feeling of self-importance must keep her destroying the party. It is nearly impossible for a person with her psychosis to change.
Lloyd, you misogynist, man-splainer...how dare you tell Hillary what to do.
Hillary Clinton should step off the stage to let Democrats move on
I wonder how many thinking democrats are reflecting on the election and thinking they dodge a bullet. :)
The party that gave us eight interminable years of 0bama deserves to wear Hillary around its neck like a dead, stinking albatross. She isn’t going away. If she croaked today a hundred years from now her shade would still be haunting the clammy hallways of the Democrat National Committee moaning “It was my turn. It was myyyyy tuuuuuurn...”
If she tries to step off the stage, she knows she’ll go head first...it won’t be pretty.
As long as pickles has a pulse and any brain function, she will be first and foremost.
><
That’s right. She’ll be scheming on her death bed.
No! No! “PIAPS 2020: FALLING BACKWARD INTO THE PAST”
Bingo!
We need Clinton and Pelosi and Warren running their mouths.
No, no, no. Don’t listen to them, Hillary! Please stay. Sit right over here. Can I get you anything? A cup of coffee or tea? A bottle of scotch?
Well...
...a pulse at any rate...
The Rime of the Ancient Matriarch?
McCaskill needs to be replaced.
No different than Hillary, but better at lying about it.
That’s right. She’ll be scheming on her death bed.

Just like her buddy, McCain.
The Democrats cannot expel somebody from their party, or otherwise get rid of a member who becomes a liability to them all . Louis Farakhan and Lyndon Larouche were never kicked out, for instance. Therefore I expect Hillary will remain one of the most visible Democrats, no matter how obnoxious she gets.
