Obstacles are being removed as we read of this...

This and $1.10 will buy you a small cup of McDonald’s coffee when it’s on sale. But, as someone who has expected Hillary Clinton to run again in 2020 from the night she lost in 2016, this is interesting.
Valerie Richardson of the Washington Times reported today that the former New York Senator and Secretary of State narrowly eased out former VP Joe Biden in a Harvard-Harris poll of registered Democrats.
When asked who they would support for the party’s presidential nominee, 21% said Clinton as compared to 20% for Biden.
“Placing third in the hypothetical race was Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders at 12%, followed by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 9% and ex-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at 7%,” Richardson wrote.
There are the usual caveats. It was an online survey and Bloomberg’s numbers were probably slightly inflated because the survey of 1,859 voters came just after the former mayor of New York entered the race.
I was going to write about something Clinton told the BBC Radio 5 Live’s Emma Barnett last month, but didn’t. Richardson reminds us that although Clinton said she had no plans to enter the contest, she added, “I never say never to anything.”
And she added the hopelessly self-serving comment
“I will certainly tell you, I’m under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it,” she said. “But as of this moment, sitting here in this studio talking to you, that is absolutely not in my plans.”
Richardson noted, “In the current primary field without Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Biden led the pack with 29%, followed by Mr. Sanders with 16%, Ms. Warren with 13% and Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg with 8%. Both Mr. Bloomberg and Mr. Kerry drew 5%.”
You know your field is bad when the loser of the last election looks good.
Please, please Jaws of Hell, belch forth Her Royal Heinous to be the ‘RATS 2020 candidate.
I think Adlai Stevenson was the last losing Democrat candidate to get the nomination again.

PDJT can hold up a copy of the Failing NYT, with the headline “Crooked Hillary Wins!”
So desperate and so dumb.
Bannon was right that she would jump into the race! The announcement is coming probably the first of the year! But she will be in the race I have no doubt about it now!
Trump will chew her up, unless she dies on her own accord before the election, which is a good possibility.
RUN, HILLARY, RUN!
Didn’t Huey Lewis and The News do a song called “When It’s Bad, It’s Bad” ? Hillary? Bwaaahaaaaa! O KAAY!
“Didn’t Huey Lewis and The News do a song called “When It’s Bad, It’s Bad” ? Hillary? Bwaaahaaaaa! O KAAY!”
If Hillary runs a lot of people will be singing “I Need A New Drug”.
The Rats should be very embarrassed. They’re a vile and pitiful lot.
Only if she wins!
I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets in the race, might as well make the Dem unelectible list complete.
You know, i really don’t think she will.
Just a feeling, we’ll see.
THIS is hilarious.
Having her called in, to save the day, has been the plan all along. Shame that the others actually thought, or think, they actually stood a chance. But they’re Dem’s and Leftists, ergo, they’re not as smart as they tell people they are.
A televised, one on one debate between PIAPS and Gabbard would be awesome. While I’m in no way supportive of Gabbard and her policies, I think she’d mop the floor with PIAPS. And it’d be two women and two Dem’s, so no excuses could be made.
Gabbard, seems to be genuine and passionate in her beliefs. Whereas PIAPS is such a complete money hungry, power hungry hypocritical fraud that she will do and say anything to cash in on anything to get what she wants.

but it also indicates that the Dem candidate clown car denizens have seriously mistaken a tiny sliver of bots, trolls, and loony leftists that dominate social media as being representative of the vast majority of Dem voters, even though the average Dem voter rarely, and maybe NEVER, posts on twitter, facebook, etc.
I think she’ll show up in the early spring, right before the Dem Convention, if not be selected by the Super Delegate fiasco thing. They’ll be some huffing and puffing, but the folks that own the media will quickly squash all of that.
To me, the wild card will be Sanders. Will he take the payoff again? His wife got off from her dirty real estate deal, so they can’t use that against him, unless they bring out “new” evidence. Or will his new friends AOC and Omar push him to run 3rd party because they can hand him the young, liberal hipster vote and the Left-leaning libertarians?
