Rumor Has It Chelsea Clinton May Run for Congress in New York
Townhall ^ | 11/12/2016 | Jason Hopkins

Thought the Clinton political dynasty ended Tuesday night? Think again.

Sources to the New York Post are saying the Clintons are grooming Chelsea, daughter of Hillary and Bill, to run for Congress in New York’s 17th district. The district is currently represented by 79-year-old Rep. Nita Lowey. Lowey has been serving in office for nearly 30 years and mumblings of her impending retirement are growing.

Lowey’s district covers Chappaqua, an area where the Bill and Hillary have conveniently purchased a 1.16 million dollar home intended for Chelsea and her family. Despite living in Manhattan, Chelsea could easily move to the million-dollar home waiting for her and designate it her primary residence if she decides to run.

The anonymous source went on to say..

“While it is true the Clintons need some time to regroup after Hillary’s crushing loss, they will not give up. Chelsea would be the next extension of the Clinton brand. In the past few years, she has taken a very visible role in the Clinton Foundation and on the campaign trail. While politics isn’t the life Hillary wanted for Chelsea, she chose to go on the campaign trail for her mother and has turned out to be very poised, articulate and comfortable with the visibility.

“There has been a lot of speculation within New York Democratic circles about Lowey’s retirement and Chelsea running for the seat. There is a belief that Chappaqua is a logical place for Chelsea to run, because it would be straightforward for her to raise money and build a powerful base.”

It seems the Clintons don’t want to leave the public eye just yet.

The Clintons are like vampires, it will take a wooden stake in the heart to ever be rid of them.

The Bush family is currently grooming George P. Bush in Texas. Land comish I believe.

He’z half hy-spanic, Jeb’s son. Speaks fluent hy-spanic.

The Bush family forsees a majority to turn in a decade or so due to their families open border policies.

George P. Bush will run for Texas governorship in a decade or so.

Chelsea Clinton isn't terribly bright, and really has nowhere near the pathological ambition that her parents had. Her political career will begin and end in a Congressional district in New York that has been sending Democrats to Washington for decades.

She has "third generation Kennedy" written all over her.

She shouldn't have to run, they should just give it to her.< /sarcasm >

I'm sure her daddy Web would be proud.

Whenever I see her face, I think the same thing:

"Webb, Webb, Webb. How could you?"

They don’t have to, but they will anyway.

Just because, that’s how they have fun.

And it’s important to keep sending those messages.

> She's so qualified.

Her last name is Clinton, which is all the qualifications a Democrat needs, and will easily win any office IN NEW YORK she choses.

We need someone else to be concerned about the stability of Guam and just where in the Universe that Armstrong American Flag was planted.

It is plain to see that 'Little Lumpy' has inherited her mother's sartorial judgement and style.

Baloney! The Clintons have ALWAYS wanted power and prestige in any way they could get it. Hilliary is finished (thank God!) so on to the next chapter. After Chelsea comes the grandkids and so on... Can't we finally be rid of these vermin once and for all???

Chelsea, like the rest of the Clintons should run. Just not for office.

Part of the pardon deal, which I think Trump will give AFTER Cankles is charged, is

1) Clinton Foundation completely razed
2) Chelsea may not EVER run for office.

This story is over a week old, next they’ll report Michelle Obama will run for PTOTUS in 2020, which I’ve been saying for 2 years.

No doubt she'll give it a shot, but like the idiot Kennedy girl, she is too dull witted to make a serious run at anything electoral. When Lowry retires her very desirable safe seat, there will undoubtedly be far more qualified candidates vying To replace her.

She’s dumber than a bag of hammers.

She’ll fit right in.
