If you thought a devastating loss to Republican Donald Trump four weeks ago and to rival Barack Obama in 2008 was finally going to put former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton out of the political game for good, think again.
According to veteran reporter Ron Fournier, someone who has been closely covering the Clintons for years, Hillary Clinton is keeping her options open for yet another presidential run in 2020.
Third times-a-charm? Not so much.
Clinton's biggest problem going into Election Day was a lack of enthusiasm and by the time results started rolling in, it showed. Her so-called "blue-firewall" of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania was bulldozed by Trump, who took all of them in addition to Ohio. The Obama coalition failed to show up to vote for her and if she chooses to run again in 2020, they'll stay home again. Not to mention Clinton barely made it out of the 2016 democrat primary against Bernie Sanders, whose supporters stayed home or supported third party candidates.
Clinton's strategy was to run against Trump, not on her own policies or platforms. That failed. She is a representation of the past, not just for Democrats but for the entire country. The scandal plagued cloud that has followed her since her early days on the Watergate investigation never dissipated and in fact has only gotten darker as she's gained more power. The majority doesn't want that kind of corruption around anymore.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. A third Clinton run would be insanity.

Looks like the body doubles may have continuing jobs
Textbook insanity.
Oh yes......please..
I fully support her in this endeavor. She need not wait till 2020, since Cuba could use a new president sooner. One Castro dead, the other could go too...
Why isn’t she in jail?
She barely had the strength to run this time around. In four years, she will be even more infirm.
NNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I hope this is bunk, I want to be rid of the Clintons and the Bushes forever.
Is it possible to run for President from prison?
What she gave up on Stein helping her steal this one
Go ahead Hillary. It should be even more fun when you’re 80.
>Snicker<
Ted is Cuban.......
She will make history as the first inmate nominated by a major party!
Not sure she will be alive...in 4 years.
I don’t buy it. She barely survived this last one.
It was only the nefarious “reporting” by the Basket of Detestables that lefty voters even thought she was still breathing.
Failed general election candidates for pres rarely ever run again. People such as McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, John McCain never ran for president again after losing a general election.
The Clintons are not exactly beloved in the Democrat party. There’s no way in 2020 that they would grease the skids for 73 year old Hillary to go for it again.
Not gonna happen. Can’t imagine the Dems would be that stupid—and that’s saying a lot.
All I can say is, “You have to try the cold chai!”
We are probably going to have to deal with Chelsea...though.
By 2020 her liver will look like a fried pork rind.
