A former aide to the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, said there was a "not zero" chance she could throw her hat in the ring a third time in 2020.
Philippe Reines, Clinton's former senior adviser and deputy secretary of state for strategic communications, told Politico in an interview published Friday that just because Clinton had lost twice before didn't mean she should be counted out for 2020.
"It's curious why Hillary Clinton's name isn't in the mix — either conversationally or in formal polling — as a 2020 candidate," he said.
"She's younger than Donald Trump by a year. She's younger than Joe Biden by four years. Is it that she's run before? This would be Bernie Sanders' second time, and Biden's third time," he added. "Is it lack of support? She had 65 million people vote for her."
After mostly staying out of the political fray since her 2016 loss, Clinton has become more active on social media and is reaching out to White House reporters to repair her contentious relationship with the press, according to Politico. She is also set to kick off a speaking tour with her husband.
But some Democrats see Clinton's reemergence on the political stage as a nuisance rather than a boon for the party. They say that the Clintons' complicated legacy and combined political baggage have polarized many in the party and made them easy targets for Republican attacks.
Clinton raised eyebrows in a recent interview with CBS when she said her husband's affair with Monica Lewinsky while she was a White House intern was not an abuse of power, prompting ire from fellow Democrats who said she distracted from the party's midterm message.
Republicans, on the other hand, seem confident they could defeat Clinton again.

More fake news.
Hillary has to announce.
“Not Zero” means there’s some chance...
She falls down more than a running back.
Not zero could mean a 1/1024th chance?
65 million voted for her,, lololol. Idiots.
Half of them were dead or illegal.
She’s got to live long enough first.
Phillipe is a lying scumbag Clinton lackey who will say anything for them. He’s just playing head games for the Clinton’s amusement.
She’s running.
I can’t wait to start hearing this on a regular basis on Hannity.

Bet she won’t even be able to stand on her own by 2020.
Where “not zero %” = very close to 100%
So there’s not, potentially, a chance that she’s not sure if she not going to not run?
1/1024 chance.
Just trying to milk foreign governments for more cash.
Those in her inner circle know a bit about her state of health.
Being in the public eye is the only thing that is keeping her alive.
“65 million voted for her,, lololol. Idiots.
Half of them were dead or illegal.”
Only half?
She won’t run as her polling will tell her she would get beat bad in NH & Iowa. She loses a lot of influence as a loud mouth if she runs and gets beat bad, so she wont run
Poor Hillary’s donations to her money laundering charity have all but evaporated.
On the other hand, I would love to start calling her Three Time Presidential Loser Cankles Clinton.
