Opinion: Hillary Clinton is running for president again, sort of
The Miami Herald ^ | February 19, 2019 | BY PATRICIA MURPHY

Posted on 02/19/2019 2:09:16 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Democrats have four tough, smart, qualified women in the Senate running for president. And that might be a problem, because they just tried that against Donald Trump, and it didn’t work in 2016.

It’s not that Sens. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and Kirsten Gillibrand wouldn’t each make an excellent president. Like Hillary Clinton, it’s clear that they have all put a great deal of thought into how they’ll run and how they would lead.

They’ve done the hard work of designing policy-specific platforms; they’ve built their early organizations; and all four have put together travel-heavy, strategic early-state rollouts. So far, they have come off as professional, earnest and conventional - in other words, so similar to Clinton that it’s hard to see why the results of their campaigns against Trump would be any different than hers was.

Millions of suburban women gave control of the House to Democrats in the midterms, after all, in a bid to slow Trump’s roll.

But the irony of so many Democratic women running for president this cycle is that they will all need to do much more going forward to distinguish themselves from each other for voters, above and beyond making history. And they’ll need to show how they’re different enough from Clinton that they can win over people who didn’t vote for Clinton in 2016.

How did she get to be their top money maker?

She must have been popular with somebody somewhere for some reason.

She did have a base somewhere in the party -- though she doesn't have one anymore.

She’s still out there trying to drum up support.

I don’t count her out.

As for the other women being qualified? Qualified for what. POTUS? LOL

She made lots of money running for president, however she didn't share any of it with the rest of the party.

Once a grifter, always a grifter....
What's behind the claim that Hillary Clinton got '$84 million of potentially illegal campaign contributions?'

hildabeast will announce she is running for president about 1 second after her lawyer tells her she is being indicted.

as the clinton’s have proved for decades: there is no better criminal defense than to run for public office.

She thought she had Bubba's base...AND....Obama's base.

But she forgot about one class...the working class....and it included both men and women.

All through the campaign, I kept saying....where's Hillary?? It's like she didn't even campaign until the last two weeks.

If nominated, Herself will not run an active campaign, and if elected, Herself will not make any effort to fulfill the responsibilities of the office.

All the glory, none of the grind.

As moneymaker, Herself has been replaced by AO-C, the successor to the title “Smartest Woman in the World”.
