Hillary Clinton says she will not run for president again but will stay involved in politics and will continue to speak out against President Trump.

Clinton makes her comments to the BBC after Trump tweeted that he hoped she would run in 2020.

She says she had expected to win the 2016 election.

Hillary Clinton said she will not run for president again but will stay involved in politics and continue to speak out against President Donald Trump.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's "Woman's Hour" program in comments aired on Tuesday, Clinton said: "No, I'm not going to run again."

She also said she would continue to oppose Trump. "I think I'm in a position where my voice will actually be magnified because I am not running (for office), and there's a very good basis, as we watch Trump's support shrink, that people will say, 'Well, what she said was right and now where do we go from here?'" she said.

Her comments came after Trump tweeted Monday that he hoped Clinton would run in 2020.

I truly feel sorry for the pedicurist who has to work on those kankled cloven hooves. Even wearing mask and rubber gloves, it has to be an absolutely disgusting experience.

[Verginius Rufus]

I think she still hopes to be able to run again. Maybe her strategy is to try to convince people she won’t run in order to minimize criticism of her. If the pool of candidates in 2020 looks beatable, she’ll be back in...and the media will have forgotten any of their past criticisms of her.

Previous station break: "New minion Kimmel, I shall strain mightily at opening this pre-opened pickle jar with the plastic ring removed that an infant could unscrew, and you shall act concerned but then surprised when I show Mr. and Mrs. America that I am not kept on my feet by hourly injections of speedballs."

[BradyLS]

She is soooo totally running!

My bet is on the Senate. The Authority-to-Responsibility Delta is YUGE!

[catnipman]

‘I’m not going to run again,’

then why is the leftist media aiding and abetting her in sucking ALL of the oxygen out of the leftosphere?

[Blue Jays]

That is as reasonable a theory as the many others currently circulating out there.

[sparklite2]

I’m sick of seeing her, too. Thing is, though, by her sucking all the oxygen, the already thin Democratic bench gets no exposure. If all they have left for 2020 is Fauxcohantas and Bernie, what’s not to like?

Also, the more people are exposed to Hillary, the less they like her.

[Songcraft]

She then solemnly declared, "And I regret that I have only ten toes to give for my country!"

(And here they are...)

I pull these from Twitter. Lots of creative over there!

[oldasrocks]

So when the hilterbeast passes on will we fly the flags at half mast or hoist them a little higher?

[arthurus]

All conservatives should be engaged in a plaintive FB and Twitter and whatever campaign to convince Mrs Bill to run again in 2020.

[timestax]

Dark Clinton has brain damage. She has come unhinged! Needs to be checked out! She's out of her gourd and needs mental checkup! Now !

[arthurus]

She has Parkinson’s Disease. She is also just plain unsyndromic nuts.
