A Big Win for Hillary
Townhall ^ | February 28, 2017 | Ed Klein

Last week's Democratic National Committee meeting in Atlanta, which elected former Labor Secretary Tom Perez as the party’s new chairman, was a major boost to Hillary Clinton’s plan (as fanciful as it may seem to others) to run again for president.

According to sources close to the Clintons, Hillary believes that by 2020 the country will be sick of Donald Trump and ready to turn to a "seasoned, mature leader" (her words) rather than someone younger and less experienced. She will be 73 years old in 2020.

As a result, she waged a furious behind-the-scenes battle in Atlanta to defeat Perez's chief rival, Representative Keith Ellison, because an Ellison win would have blocked her control of the party’s national apparatus and turned over millions in campaign funds to the far-left Bernie Sanders wing of the party.

After weeks of lying low and licking her wounds, Hillary is described by friends as "reenergized" ... she's ready to rumble!

She should forget Kaine for the 2020 V.P. choice and get the seasoned Steve Beshear of KY instead!

What happened at the DNC, was them doubling down on going farther left.

Last night Trump set himself vastly apart from them,
and with the poll numbers, many of those who voted for Hillary agreed with Trump. Big league.

There is now a stark, stark contrast, between the 2 sides.

Those who agreed with Trump last night, will now begin to see what the DNC is really.

“seasooned, mature” = “lying old bag”

In four years, it will be Trump who will be the seasoned and experienced leader. That’s got to just burn her up inside.

Hate to be trite but her problem is that Trump is aging like wine, she’s aging like milk.
It’s a long shot to assume she’ll have a mind left by 2020

Whoever decides to run against Trump in 2020 will experience a 1984-style blowout.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Hilary lose this time, but I could get excited about seeing it again, in ALL CAPS!!

Actually, I agree with the witch this time ... she is definitely seasoned and she is definitely mature.

She’s the damned Swamp Thing! Will the Swamp Thing get us before Trump drains the swamp? That is the question.

For many years and counting, the D’s went so far left that they don’t have anybody left, at the highest political levels, except for far leftists. This is a good time to be a non-leftist!

This loser again has no (workable) agenda whatsoever, except “Trump’s tone”.

Pure horseshit clickbait. Perez was picked for BIDEN in 2020. Imam Ellison would have produced Deval Patrick or Cory Booker.

Cankles is FINISHED as a candidate. Name ONE Democrat candidate who got invited back to the hayride four years after losing the banner! Let's see, wasn't Mondale, wasn't Dukakis, there wasn't Gore, there wasn't Kerry.

If Hillary is a candidate in 2020, the Whig Party will get more votes...

Adelai Stevenson lost in a landslide to Eisenhower in 1952, and incredibly enough ran again on the Dem ticket in 1956, when he lost by an even greater landslide.

Others have already mentioned Stevenson; there’s also William Jennings Bryan.
