Democrat In Seat Targeted For Chelsea Clinton Run Has No Plans To Retire
Daily Caller ^ | 11/16/2016 | Kerry Picket

WASHINGTON — The congressional district seat reportedly being targeted for a run by Chelsea Clinton may not be vacant any time soon.

The New York Post reported last week that Democratic operatives within the Empire State are quietly grooming Chelsea to run in the Westchester seat currently occupied by longtime Democratic Congresswoman Nita Lowey.

“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,” a source told The Post.

Lowey previously stepped aside for Hillary to run in 1999 for the New York Senate seat vacated by Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan. However, Lowey, who is 79 years old, told TheDC she has no plans to retire in the near future.

“You’ll have to ask Chelsea. I’m running for office. I currently serve and the future will take care of itself. I will keep running,” she said.

Lowey added, “I don’t know who’s putting all those articles out, frankly, but you’ll have to ask Chelsea. I am currently running. I am currently serving the people of my district.”

Hence the prophylactic need to complete the CGI investigation and indict Chelsea if there is sufficient evidence she participated in criminal activity.

Nip this crap in the bud. Otherwise, the Clintons are like herpes - You’ll never get rid of them.

Never could figure out how the mobsters placed that horse head in the movie mogul’s bed without waking him up.

He’ll undoubtedly be so remorseful that he said that, that he’ll commit suicide.

The fact that she can openly tell the Clintons to get bent is a sure sign that their power in the party is dying, if not dead.

Let us hope and pray you are right. Please, let her be denied...

There’s other ways besides Arcancide.

Maybe Nina-Nana’s grandkids would like their private tuitions paid in full followed by the choice of admittance to the Ivy of their choosing.

“The Clintons’ political power just hit Jeb Bush levels.”

Indeed. The Dems will have to purge themselves of the corrosive stranglehold the Clintons have had on their party for 20 years if they have any hope of surviving. That purge includes any hints of a hereditary dynasty.

The Clinton’s wish to extend their deepest sympathy for the recently deceased longtime Democratic Congresswoman Nita Lowey.

Someone should warn Democratic Congresswoman Nita Lowey that she should not attempt to fly in a small plane.

America is being groomed for a Jorge P. Bush vs. Chelsea Clinton Presidential election in 16 years. Within any luck there will be a candidate like Trump to throw a wrench into the gears of both party’s political machines when that happens.

I guess I was naive to think that Hillary's defeat would be the last we'd hear of the Clintons at the national political level.

I'd love to hear what this entitled brats qualifications for a Congressional seat may be and what her lifetime achievements have been so far. That's right - none and nothing, unless living off a trust fund is an accomplishment and qualification.

Ain’t gonna happen. Chelsea Clinton is a dim bulb who doesn’t have her father’s political savvy or her mother’s psychotic ambition. Both of the people you named would lose. To Ivanka Trump.

Oh, you’ll “retire” Nita. You just may not realize it yet.

I wonder if she has a private pilot's license.
