Will Hillary persist in 2020? Her actions suggest ‘yes’
Fox News ^ | July 15, 2018 | Lauren DeBellis Appell

Posted on 07/15/2018 10:14:24 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

There’s been buzz circulating lately that Hillary Clinton may still have her eye on the Oval Office and is considering stepping back in the ring to take another shot at the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination. Because quitters never win, or something.

On its face, it sounds like pure insanity. However, she’s spent the last year and a half fixated on the 2016 election, traveling all over and telling anyone who will listen why it’s not her fault she lost.

She even went so far as to write a book, “What Happened.” Her publisher could have saved a few trees and sent her a two-word email - you lost.

Perhaps the basket of excuses she’s been carrying around is really her misguided attempt at trying to rehab her image and set the stage for round three in 2020. When you think about it that way, the idea she’d actually run again sounds less like pure insanity and starts to sound absurdly believable.

This week former adviser to Bill Clinton, Lanny Davis, publicly discouraged her from running, “for her sake and her family’s sake.” Reading between the lines, she’s either seriously considering another run or someone important in Clinton world wants her to go for it. It’s highly unlikely that a former senior adviser like Davis would come out and make such a statement otherwise.

The Democrats are in such disarray with no known message or direction, it’s almost as if they’re spinning around in a game of musical chairs and they have no clue where they’ll end up next....

She will run in order to claim “politics” and try to avoid prison. This had worked for 30 years.

Hillary back on the campaign trail. She's tanned, restd and ready!

And, she will be so tired (tarred) that she will go Lenin-style. She won't have to walk. She won't have to stand. She won't fall down stairs, she won't fall getting into SUVs. They'll just put her in a box and wheel her around.

Don’t know who is more desilusioned, Hillary, or the people who follow her. This should be good news for clinical psychologists who work with people who live in total denial.

Hillary will “persist” in a lot of things in 2020. Whining, complaining, blaming, drinking, hobbling, falling, nagging...you name it.

Perhaps she wants to concentrate her whole campaign on Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Right, she would not make it out of the primaries. Without the leverage of the Clinton Foundation she will not get the financial grease she enjoyed in 2016.

All very good points. But they are outweighed by the fact that she is a narcissistic looney toon with delusions of grandeur.

If Hillary Clinton is not in prison by 2020 then what difference does it make who is elected? The only avenue remaining at that time would be all out civil war.

It’s sounds to me like the only way the new Marxist ‘RAT Party is going to be able to get rid of Clintoon is have the Russkis take her out.

I am trying to imagine the list of reasons for Hillary’s impending failure in 2020. It should be glorious, far more extensive than the relatively brief list from 2016.


Only a perfect storm of unlikely challenges elected Trump. I listed them all, or at least the reasons advanced by Hillary or by one of her minions:

102. Hillary being a capitalist elected Trump.

101. The media not doing enough to promote Hillary’s agenda elected Trump.

100. A fake Hillary sex tape (no, I don’t want to imagine that either) elected Trump.

3. Rejecting Bernie elected Trump.

2. Reagan democrats elected Trump.

1. Backlash against political correctness elected Trump.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.
