Washington -- Last week, while reading The Wall Street Journal, I came across an op-ed piece that for a moment led me to believe that the sober and serious Journal was opening a comics section. Why not? If the Journal executes "the funnies" as competently as it covers serious news, I can see it earning a Pulitzer Prize for its comics page. It would be a first for the Pulitzer Prize committee, but, well, in this day and age, there is a first time for almost everything. The piece I have in mind was written by Douglas Schoen and Andrew Stein, two Democratic insiders, and they were intent on calling for a voice from the past to return to politics. After 30 years in which she had run up massive disapproval ratings -- and only one victory -- Schoen and Stein were laying out the intricacies of how Hillary Clinton could get the Democratic presidential nomination in 2024. It appeared they were serious.
They mentioned resident Joe Biden's historically low approval ratings, 33%, down from 36% in November, and by the way, Vice resident Kamala Harris is not doing so well either. Schoen and Stein cited the president's age. He is 79 now. He will be 81 if he makes it to 2024, and the Democrats most likely will have lost both the House of Representatives and the Senate by the time Biden seeks reelection. All that might grant Biden the nomination in 2024 is that no one else will want it, except possibly Hillary. Schoen and Stein suggest she is plotting her course. Remember after Hillary's defeat to Donald Trump back in 2016 she said she was "done with being a candidate." She was ready to retire, but she has yet to retire. Former President Richard Nixon unveiled a New Nixon in 1968 and won. Could Hillary be developing a New Hillary now?
Recently she was offering advice to fellow Democrats, and it was astoundingly moderate in tone. She told Democrats to avoid progressive politics unless they were running in "deep-blue districts." She seemed to be advising Democrats to run as moderates most of the time. Who would have ever thought Hillary was the candidate of moderation? But she seemed to be pulling a page from her husband's playbook when he said, "The era of big government is over." She continued, "Look, I'm all for having vigorous debate," she told an MSNBC moderator. Yet, "I think it's good and it gives people a chance to be part of the process. But at the end of the day, it means nothing if we don't have a Congress that will get things done, and we don't have a White House that we can count on to be sane and sober and stable and productive."
This sounds like a New Hillary to me. Calling for sanity, sobriety, stability, all in the name of a productive regime? Possibly Schoen and Stein have been talking with Hillary behind closed doors. And to those who read the newspapers closely, there is Bill Clinton sounding his familiar themes from 2016. Just last month, he reintroduced his famous line from the 2016 race, saying his wife is "the most qualified person to run for office in my lifetime." She was the anointed one in 2008, and she lost. She was the anointed one in 2016, and she lost. This time she might pull it off. She is sounding like she is interested in 2024, and who else is there? Are the Democrats looking at Beto O'Rourke? He lacks the maturity. How about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? I am told she lacks a driver's license.
No, for now, I fear the Democrats are stuck with Biden, who is 79 and by 2024 will be 81, turning 82 on Nov. 20! Among the other contenders there is Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is 80 and has had at least one heart attack. Then there is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is an admittedly young 81, but my agents tell me she longs for the security of San Francisco. Of course, there is Al Gore, who is 73, and I am told he beats Pat Boone on the tennis court, but is he still hungry enough? So, possibly, the pathway is open to Hillary. She is 74 and still burned up about how her race against Trump came out in 2016. Is it possible that 2024 could be a rerun of 2016? I have my eye on Hillary. Stay tuned.
Where Hillary is concerned, I prefer not to look.
The Editorial Page at the WSJ sucks just as bad, if not more, than the clowns at National Review, Shapiro, Benson, Goldberg, Kristin, or any other RINO/GOPe hack.
But PIAPS is definitely gearing up for another run. Sorry Kamala
Exactly, I prefer not to keep an eye on her. However, I think we should add to the movement to draft Hillary, she is the most unlikable candidate in history. I know Kamala is unpopular, but I don’t buy she is more unpopular than Hillary.
I had to look up “PIAPS.” Always learning things here on FreeRepublic.
I still proudly display my anti-Hillary stuff in my mancave. Trump That Bitch is everywhere.
Hillary will run again because it will prevent the Durham investigation from touching her.
There is NOTHING that Durham can discover that will lead to Hillary being in prison. Hillary is the Queen of Hypocrisy and Democrats will vote for the worst trash on the planet.
They managed to steal the last Presidential election so look for her and scumbag Democrats to repeat it.
Does PIAPS remain applicable? The Hildebeast may not fit into a pantsuit any longer. Consider:
PIAM - Pig In A Muumuu
PIAB - Pig In A Bathrobe
PIAT - Pig In A Tent
PIAD - Pig In A Drape
*All of which it is believed Hellery has worn in public.
The Clintons have long played the faux-moderate game.
This is nothing new.
She’s had enough smoke blown up her ample @$$ recently, that I’m not surprised people are talking about her running.
/Fat Bottomed Girl.
Must I? Eye bleach is expensive.
She’s the most unlikeable candidate ever, but remember, the real votes mean nothing anymore. So, she’ll be in, if she is their man.
lol @ Durham investigation
This country does not need a reprise of the Arkansas Medusa.
‘illary arranged a $60 million “book deal” for Brandon to stay out of the 2016 election so she could win. She just wants her $60 million back, else she’d be getting lipo sucked and administered abortion blood IVs. Give her some media attention and demonkraut money, and she will slither away. That’s what she really wants.
‘Former President Richard Nixon unveiled a New Nixon in 1968 and won. Could Hillary be developing a New Hillary now?’’
in 1968 Richard Nixon was 55 years of age; Hilary Clinton will be 77...
Oh, lots of people like her, not in DC, but voters. I’ve heard them say things like, she’s just a nice grandma. They refuse to believe any of the bad stuff about her and the periodic weirdness she displays like reading her acceptance speech and crying, they don’t seem to notice as signs if her instability. They believe her shtick. And they still hate Trump. Maybe she’ll get sick (er). Sorry to be hateful
I had to ask what that acronym meant.
She redefined the word, gross, in all its contexts
I’m not gonna argue that
