Hillary Clinton leaves door open for 2020 run: 'I'd like to be president'
The Hill ^ | 10/28/18 | Emily Birnbaum

Posted on 10/28/2018 9:06:21 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during an event over the weekend left the door open to a possible 2020 run, saying that even though she doesn't want to run, "I'd like to be president."

Clinton's comments come as speculation has increased over whether she will launch another bid after the midterm elections.

"Do you want to run again?" Recode’s Kara Swisher asked during a Friday night Q&A with Clinton.

"No," Clinton replied quickly, sparking laughter from the audience. But when Swisher pressed her further, she added: "I’d like to be president."

Clinton went on to say that "there’s going to be so much work to be done" after a Democrat "hopefully" wins the next presidential election.

"The work would be work that I feel very well prepared for having been in the Senate for eight years, having been a diplomat in the State Department," she said, listing off the qualifications that she often touted during her previous run.

She added that she's not going to think about a possible run until after the upcoming midterm elections.

The only thing left “open” for Hillary Clinton, is a casket.

A Jones had this a couple of weeks ago ahead of anyone else when he also said the deal had been done — Michelle Obama to be Hillary’s running mate.

Another good reason to work, volunteer, and contribute cash to worthy candidates who need it, during this last week before this crucial election. A RedWave tsunami could sink this witch’s next plot to gain power.

"I’d like to be president."

Of that I have no doubt whatsoever. I also have no doubt that such an occurrence would be a disaster for the United States. We barely survived 8 years of bammy. If President Trump had not defeated Clinton, and we'd had Clinton right after bammy... I don't know. I seriously believe that might have changed American (for the far worse) permanently.

She’d “like” to be president. LOL! She lived and breathed and ate and slept presidential ambitions for about 40 years, and she’d “like” to be president. How demure.

She tried that in 2016 -- campaigning a half-day and resting for 5 or 6 days.

She thought it would be handed to her without her really having to do much. After all, she and her cohorts wrangled the nomination away from Sanders. And the polls told her it was a cake walk to win against Trump.

The problem for 2020 is some 30 Dems who want the chance and they are not likely to step aside so Hillary can try again.

She’s more than incompetent unless it’s about being a criminal. She’s a very competent criminal. But she’s definately Evil.

We didn’t dodge a bullet with Hitlery last time. we dodged a NUKE.

Hey Hillary: what plans do you have for the “deplorables” in the event that you become President?

Her first job will be to destroy every other Democrat and that will be fun to watch. I think that the Media will try to derail her this time.

There’s a certain twisted logic to it if you consider the party’s two power families. Hillary just really wants it. Michelle could waltz into power with just two months of campaigning behind a fetid corpse at the top of the ticket — or establish herself as the unquestioned next in line, should the corpse manage to lose yet again.

Blacks, women, gays/lesbians and trannies arguably could all have someone to vote for as “identity” candidates.
