The 2016 presidential election cycle went on for a notoriously long time, and two years later, its details are still being analyzed by academics and citizenry, alike. One New York Post columnist, however, believes there is reason to believe that the 2020 election might be so similar to 2016 that it could feature the exact same candidates, all over again. This weekend, writer Michael Goodwin argued that he believed there is a chance Hillary Clinton will run for president again in 2020, pointing to what he describes as urgent and frequent emails sent by Clinton-associated organizations.
In his column, which ran in the Post over the weekend, Goodwin relied on four key points to make his case: there is currently no other clear Democratic opponent to run against Trump, the sheer number of other Democratic presidential hopefuls could help consolidate Clinton's support, she could potentially beat many Democratic contenders in their own state, and she'd probably bring in a lot of money to take on Trump's reelection.
"Hillary Clinton is up to something," Goodwin wrote.
In the past, Clinton has firmly denied that she has any intention of running for the presidency again, let alone in a rematch against the man who beat her only a few years prior.
"No, I'm not going to run again," she said on BBC Radio 4's "Woman's Hour" in October of 2017.
"I'm trying to make the case about what we need to do so that what happened in my election doesn't happen again," she said at the time. "But I'll also be raising money and support for candidates and causes I believe in. And I'll be supporting the Democratic Party in the elections this year, next year and 2020."
Trump, for his part, has seemed enthusiastic about another potential showdown with his rival. "I was recently asked if Crooked Hillary Clinton is going to run in 2020?" Trump tweeted on October 16. "My answer was, ‘I hope so!’"
The president isn't the only member of his family to express interest in a rematch, either. After Goodwin's column was published, Donald Trump Jr. shared the piece on Twitter, writing, "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN," accompanied with several praying hands emojis.
As for the rest of Twitter, reactions to the discussion were mixed. "I really feel like if we head down this path Trump will win 2020," wrote one user.
"It's just for show and for something to talk about," said another user. "There is no chance she will run in 2020. For the Democrats she's the face of the past."
Both Trump supporters and opponents said that they believed a rehash of the 2016 presidential election would result in another win for Trump. "It doesn't matter," wrote one user. "She wouldn't win the Democratic primary. She'd put up Jeb!-type numbers if she were lucky," they said, referencing Jeb Bush's failed primary bid in 2016.
If Clinton were to make another bid for the highest elected political office in the United States, chances are that, as was the case the last time, her intentions would be kept under lock and key until her camp was ready to make a very public announcement. Last time, that came by way of an emotional video, wherein Clinton said that "Americans need a champion" and that she wanted "to be that champion."
For most of the campaign, Clinton was lauded as frontrunner guaranteed to sweep in the voting both. When she lost, many political commentators were stunned at the outcome. Analysis of her loss has continued in the year and a half since.
It's still way too early to know who, exactly, will challenge Trump in 2020, but people around the world will remain on the edges of their seats until that person is revealed.
Bustle was founded by Bryan Goldberg in 2013. Previously, Goldberg co-founded the website Bleacher Report with a single million-dollar investment.[4] He claimed that “women in their 20s have nothing to read on the Internet.”[5] Bustle was launched with $6.5 million in backing from Seed and Series A funding rounds.[4][6]
It surpassed 10 million monthly unique visitors in July 2014, placing it ahead of rival women-oriented sites such as Refinery29, Rookie and xoJane; it had the second greatest number of unique visitors after Gawker's Jezebel.[7][8] Bustle's increasing popularity among young women is partly attributed to its young writing staff. The writers are advised to write about stories that interest them; this can range from topics about beauty products to international affairs and politics.[4].
By 2015, Bustle had 46 full-time editorial staff.[4] In September 2016, Bustle launched a redesign using the company’s $11.5 million series D funding round. At that time, the site had over 70 full-time editors and 250 contract contributors who posted over 200 articles daily.[3]

CROOKED HILLBILLY SHOULD BE IN JAIL
going to be real hard to campaign inside a jailhouse.
Yeah, really. Running? She can barely walk. Will her husband’s untimely (?) death maybe help her? She has used him so very well all her life and he may still have one more gift for her.
Blade Runner Hillary 2020 III
Bernie wept.
My friends: Listen CAREFULLY. WE should all change our registration to Democrat to make sure it happens!
she already looks like she’s one the failures from Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory
how could she last until 2020? not a chance, imho
Only if she was republican she would be convicted and sent to jail. What she did in short of doing so in live tv convinced me as average joe that she violated federal laws concerning classified information; obstruction of justice by destroying devices and deleting emails; taking bribe by using her sectary of state position to illicit foreign leaders to contribute to Clinton foundation
I know exactly how I feel without hesitation: run, Hillary, run! Please, please, please.
(I know we’d never be that lucky though; even if she ran, she’d never get the nomination again.)
She can barely walk and she will make all the same mistakes again. No, she won’t run.
An even better idea: Get that 67 seat majority in the Senate and LET HER WIN. Then congress will run the country. Then roll her daily. They can always impeach her anytime in the first 2 years. Depends on who the VP is.
I have no doubt that Hillary will do all she can to run again. That’s just her psyche, She is just that plain angry at those around her, people in general, and the entire world. She believes she is entitled and deserves herself to be rammed down the throats of every human on the planet. She would be the revenge candidate.
Not sure what happened to her in her formative years but she is one angry bitch. She already feels justified, she just wants the position and power to take revenge. She is that psychotic, she lives for nothing else.
That being said, I would love to see her run again. Her anger and psychoses really shows through when she gets to have her say on a live mic. Let her be the face of the Dem/Left.
...My friends: Listen CAREFULLY. WE should all change our registration to Democrat to make sure it happens!
If she runs, that sounds like a great idea
Hillary/Aunt Maxine 2020
I just can’t wait for more prat-falls down stairs and her being tossed into vans like a slab of beef.
I sincerely HOPE she does...!
She would HELP us by doing so.
Oh boy, I can't wait to see her big, stupid, phony, fake, shit-eating grin all day long again ;/
When you post those it reminds me of my ex-wife and scares the $#*+ out of me. Ack!
