Ready to go through the 2016 election all over again?
Philippe Reines, who worked for Hillary Clinton going back to 2002 and was her senior adviser at the State Department, made the argument to Politico Friday that the former Democratic nominee might actually be the party's best hope for defeating Trump in 2020. He said no other Democrat has "anywhere near a base of 32 million people," especially not Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) or Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). The party, he feels, shouldn't dismiss her as a failed candidate because she's "smarter" and "tougher" than most, and she "could raise money easier than most."
But it doesn't sound like this is just wishful thinking on his part. He really thinks it could happen, saying the chances of Clinton running in 2020 are "not zero.”
Publicly, Clinton has said she will not run again, but Reines doesn't sound so sure she'll keep her word on that. Politico explored Clinton's careful re-entry into the political arena, noting that she's going on tour with former President Bill Clinton this fall and has reportedly even called up journalists who cover the White House to put out "the occasional feeler."

RUN, WITCH, RUN!!!
The Ralph Nader comparison will start soon. Always running to suck up air and resources and votes.
JUST DO IT!!!!
Sure, Sure, hack, hack cough, cough, CHOKE, fall on your azz beotch.
Duh. The DNC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Clinton Crime Corporation.
I guess the “chance” is, if she has not assumed room temperature by then.
would love to see her lose a third time running for president.
FLY WITCH, FLY!
Please let this happen, please let this happen, please let this happen.
Yup. I suspect the Berniebots who now control that party are not going to react with glee.
Run?! Heck, I doubt she’ll be able to walk by then.
She might as well run and lose and certify her legacy as the smartest woman in the world who couldn’t win an election outside of a Blue state. Most pols don’t know when to hang up their spurs, she is definitely one of them.
Hillary Clinton’s problem is that she sold her soul to the Devil and he hasn’t come through to her satisfaction. She will never be satisfied.
True, but that won't continue forever. At some point the risk/reward ratio will favor a revolt against the current mob bosses. That is likely to be messy, entertaining, and damaging to the Party.
Following the Illinois model, she may launch her campaign from prison.
Perfect way to complete the destruction of the democrat party!
