Opinion: Hillary Clinton is running for president again, sort of
The Miami Herald ^ | February 19, 2019 | BY PATRICIA MURPHY

Democrats have four tough, smart, qualified women in the Senate running for president. And that might be a problem, because they just tried that against Donald Trump, and it didn’t work in 2016.

It’s not that Sens. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and Kirsten Gillibrand wouldn’t each make an excellent president. Like Hillary Clinton, it’s clear that they have all put a great deal of thought into how they’ll run and how they would lead.

They’ve done the hard work of designing policy-specific platforms; they’ve built their early organizations; and all four have put together travel-heavy, strategic early-state rollouts. So far, they have come off as professional, earnest and conventional - in other words, so similar to Clinton that it’s hard to see why the results of their campaigns against Trump would be any different than hers was.

Millions of suburban women gave control of the House to Democrats in the midterms, after all, in a bid to slow Trump’s roll.

But the irony of so many Democratic women running for president this cycle is that they will all need to do much more going forward to distinguish themselves from each other for voters, above and beyond making history. And they’ll need to show how they’re different enough from Clinton that they can win over people who didn’t vote for Clinton in 2016.

Do all of these people with a government job who are running for president give back their paychecks for all the days they will be off campaigning?

Asking for a friend.......

She stole $6 billion from the State dept when she ran it. She bought nominations and killed those in her way.

Odd how journalists don't feel the need to tell us the men running are 'smart'... Ever wonder why?

"She isn’t RUNNING for president, she is STUMBLING for president."

Stick a board up her back and set her on demRATs favored high-stepping ass and she can ride for president.

I find it funny that nobody comments about Gilibrand. She was Hillary’s successor in the Senate, and SHE’S RUNNING??11
