Hillary Clinton will run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, according to a former adviser and a top Democrat in New York.
Mark Penn, a pollster and senior adviser to former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 1995-2008, and Andrew Stein, a former Manhattan Democratic party figure and New York City Council president, wrote Sunday in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece that the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee would not let "two stunning defeats stand in the way of her claim to the White House."
"Mrs. Clinton has come unbound. She will not allow this humiliating loss at the hands of an amateur to end the story of her career," Penn and Stein wrote of President Trump, explaining how Clinton would re-package herself as a more liberal "Hillary Clinton 4.0." "You can expect her to run for president once again. Maybe not at first, when the legions of Senate Democrats make their announcements, but definitely by the time the primaries are in full swing."
"Mrs. Clinton has a 75% approval rating among Democrats, an unfinished mission to be the first female president, and a personal grievance against Mr. Trump, whose supporters pilloried her with chants of 'Lock her up!' This must be avenged," the pair continued.
Penn and Stein recommended basing a strategy for Clinton's do-over on former President Richard Nixon's second tilt at the White House in 1968 after losing to the late President John F. Kennedy in 1960. The duo also said potential Democratic presidential candidates were "bungling amateurs" in their handling of the Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanuagh's confirmation hearings.

Dear God, this is insanity
Chant in 2020... “Help her up! Help her up!”
Clinton Stassen 2020
Ducey is still not listed as the winner on the SOS of AZ site. I don’t believe for one second that McSally didn’t win! Can you believe that someone who believes that ‘stay at home moms are just leeching off their husbands paychecks’ could get elected to the Senate here??
As I like to say, she made it the old-fashioned way - on her husband’s coattails!
The old HAG can barely walk, how is she supposed to run?
I'm wondering if this announcement is because Hillary now realizes the DemonRats have this VOTER FRAUD thing down pat as evidenced during (OR AFTER) this midterm election.
You all have missed the point here and why this backhanded announcement comes now. She’s inoculating herself against prosecution now that Sessions is gone and the election is over. Trump can’t go after her now. If he does the caterwauling will reach a fever pitch how he is going after an opponent to eliminate her from the race.
My theory is the Left is chipping away at out Senate majority as they think the squish R Senators will not be inclined to help Trump with judges. Including SCOTUS. We need a buffer to blunt the power of Romney, Murkowski and usually Collins.
Age 73 in the next election. What could go wrong?
Guarenteed win, too. The final vote will be 112% Hillary, -12% Trump.
“....medical issues....”
Yep, you got that one correct. If she could ever get over her ‘cough’, maybe she’d run....but that eternal cough problem has never been resolved. She should claim that the Russians gave her the cough.
My exact thoughts.
Local news PROTECTS Dems. If there were any bad news about Republicans, it would be trumpeted from the mountaintops!
And she’ll win. The dem voter fraud and the complacent response from Republicans guarantees she’ll win.
Hope she changes her diaper
Unbound?
More like unhinged.
“Mrs. Clinton has a 75% approval rating among Democrats”
If you are the type of conservative that questions your own feelings “maybe I’m not seeing things as they really are and liberals are correct in the way forward” then this ought to buttress you up.
