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.

I think the Democrats are going to treat the Clintons the way we treated Jeb.

It will be comedy gold for her to run for ANY elected office.

They say it was artificial insemination because bill shoots blanks.
Also, I mean, Hillary is where erections go to die.

The Clinton Foundation investigations(s) will no doubt put an end to those dreams. FINGERS CROSSED.

If she’s even contemplating it, that must mean that her two kids are as important to her as she was to her own mother! Nothing mattered in her mother’s world - not even who her husband was sleeping with - except herself!

Poor, crazy, screwed up, dysfunctional family!

Probably searching out a district with the largest amount of intellectually, ethically, morally challenged people to run in.

IIRC, he wasn’t thrilled that although he was the senior senator from NY she acted as though she was.

Billary Inc. needs some way with which to keep buying and selling their influence peddling schemes from which their foundations launder personal income to them, in the form of “speaking” fees.

You know as well I do that they will have her run in a solid blue district. It will be a foregone conclusion. And yes, that district will be populated with liberal idiots.

No, all NYers are not useful idiots. But it certainly appears that NY has more than its share.

If that young skank has an IQ higher than 60 I would be astonished. Of course in New York political circles that may be quite high.

She might have a chance. Looks like she already has foreign policy experience.


Chelsea Clinton discusses wine and beef jerkey with Naga Eboko, exchange student from Cameroon and Lionel Joseph (to left, off frame), Director of Cultural Events at the Haile Selassie Pavilion.

“The carpetbagger’s daughter. “

Sounds like the title of an unwritten classic southern novel.

What must we do to finally be done with these vermin????????

She's ugly, dim-witted and inarticulate. Of course, that didn't stop her mother from becoming a Senator.
