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

Posted on 11/13/2016 4:20:06 PM PST by simpson96

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 read somewhere that she is a dim bulb.

Now where did I read that??

Oh yeah, right here!

If that's true, and I'll bet an ice cold Coca-Cola that it is, her running for office migh be pretty funny.

She’ll first be running from Grand Jury indictments since she used Foundation money to pay for her wedding.

So who’s gonna voluntarily vacate their Senate seat? She sure as hell ain’t gonna run for the WH as a Congresscritter.Maybe Chuckie has signaled that he’ll be retiring soon...or maybe they’ve got something on Gillibrand.

Stupid, lazy and corrupt.

The perfect Democrat.

Will she be able to serve from prison? Trumps FBI/DOJ has yet to begin their investigation into Chelsea’s role into the illegal activities of the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.

Wikileaks docs kinda point to her own criminal activity

This looks great. She can be like Lincoln — serve a term in the House and go right to a run for the Presidency on the Democrat ticket. She has to get the nomination based upon her record of accomplishments.

She’s 36, so she’s old enough to be President now.

This is the main reason ALL Clintons must be prosecuted for Foundation crimes. The Clinton Cancer must be eradicated from Earth. The CDC has no cure or prevention for this. Trump has to deal with it.

I thought the leftards were big on abortion. How come their numbers don’t go down in decades?

She probably thinks Global Warming was caused by the tilting of the moon when the Mars Rover planted those flags there.

She’s not really a moron. She was an upperclassman to mine at Stanford and judging from the senior class I spoke with, she’s nice but a flake to the extreme.
