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.

Jones - oh brother. Michelle running as VP is preposterous. Even Hillary isn’t that dumb.

Your comment is absolutely brilliant, cutting, funny and spot on all at the same time.

I still think that she's really fearful of her life as she took bribe monies from some REALLY BAD PEOPLE and made promises to them on the assumption that she would be president.

And since she didn't win (thank you God!), those people are really making her sweat buckets!

Thus her insistence to run for president, as it give her some sort of lease on life from that party.

So her campaign slogan for her 2020 run will be:

ILLARY FOR PRESIDENT 2020
(cough, cough)

I'm gonna enjoy this show as a) she does not tolerate competition and b) these young socialists are really chomping at the bits to get rid of these old folks who are in their way.

We're really gonna have a ringside seat watching these democrats eat each other up lIke a classic dogfight .

She's like a walking near-dead.

In many ways, she's like a female Darth Vader but without the black cape and exterior electronics on her chest, as it's hidden under her clothes.

And remember that Chelsea's home is a fully equipped medical facility with everything.

So in other words, she's setting up her Bank (aka the foundation) on the front steps of the White House and the State Dept. So everyone & anyone coming to talk must pay her a fee for everything!

She probably think that she's a Ferengi who is plotting to be richer that Scrooge McDuck!

VP only campaigns for a couple of months—unlike the spouse of a regular candidate who campaigns for two years.

And VP doesn’t necessarily work harder than she did as FLOTUS==just on stuff closer to real government.

"She wants to stage a coup."

--------------

I believe you are correct. She has given up on this voting baloney in a democratic process. She lusts for power and will do anything to gain that power.

"...saying that even though she doesn't want to run, "I'd like to be president."

She can only run if she still has the power to control the primary field. This is not going to be 2016 where she had 2 token challengers and was able to rig and control them. HRC doesn’t do well when faced with real competition.

I honestly don’t expect her to be alive in 2020. If she is, she’ll be having seizures every other day that the lamestream media won’t be able to hide.

....saying that even though she doesn't want to run, "I'd like to be president."

Exactly - she thinks it should be handed to her while she guzzles cocktails and contributes nothing .,...except being the most vile and corrupt woman in the world....
