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.

Oh, Shux! Here we go again!!!!

Despite her family background, Chelsea is a BIG NOTHING!!!! And she has been making a living off of the clinton Foundation. Despite her reported original misgivings, she is probably at least moderately crooked!! And the clinton Foundation MUST be shut down!!!!

We had only one—Donald J Trump. Besides that, the remaining candidates—all Dims—were running unopposed.

So I voted ONLY Trump/Pence, and for the ballot questions—and for none of the unopposed Dims!!!!

Chelsea Clinton will with the help of the dems. (lies, fraud etc.) worm her way like the worm she is up the political ladder until she gets to an important campaign.

Then the truth seekers will sharpen their social media, internet, vocal swords and make sure she’s exposed for the evil Clinton spawn that she is. And make certain she’s swept like her mother into the dust bin of forgotten history.

Yep. And the people of NY, mental midgets that they are, will elect her. ................................. NYC people are convinced that that are the most educated in the world. Just ask one. I’ll grant one thing about them, they are election savvy, they know how to make a minority feel like a majority, and convince them that those in majority are the stupid ones.

After she moves to a safe district next to her mother so she doesn’t have to face any real competition.

Sure, go ahead, and she’ll win, and it won’t make any difference ... it is NY. She is going to run into the “dynasty syndrome” if she tries to run for any office outside of a BLUE state. This country is THROUGH with dynasties, we’ve hopefully learned our lesson.

“Before Chelsi Clinton can run for office...we need to find out who she really is. IMHO”

Nobody knew who Obama was, and he not only ran, he won. Twice

Hopefully the Dems will primary her.
If they know what’s best for what’s left of their party.
