Bannon urges Hillary Clinton to challenge Trump in 2020: 'She can take a punch'
Washington Examiner ^ | October 19, 2018 | Katelyn Caralle

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is encouraging Hillary Clinton to fight President Trump for the White House in 2020.

Bannon said the former secretary of state was already making it clear she considered herself a candidate and she should make a run because “she can take a punch.”

“She’s a lion in winter,” Bannon told Politico. “Not only is she running, she should run. In the Democratic Party, the question is can anybody throw a punch or take a punch, and one thing we know about Hillary Clinton is she can take a punch.”

The former executive chairman of Breitbart News suggested Trump respected her more than the rest of the Democratic field. “I think Trump considers her a real rival,” he said, “whereas his view of the rest of the field is they’ve got to prove themselves.”

The question I have is, will she still be alive by 2020?

“she can take a punch.”

But, she can't take a walk.
Not without collapsing.

Agree with Bannon. Hillary don’t feel no ways tired and can take out Biden if she wanted to. The rest of the candidates are a joke. She’s running.

He is tempting her to run. That’s all this is.

Some of them do, without admitting it.

They have to.

“She can take a good punch.”

Reportedly, she can drink all of the fruit punch.

And, she needs a smack or two, to boot.

I think she’s testing the waters. The Dems don’t want her, but she’s got a lot of money and influence, and unless they go with nationally untested young candidates, they’ve got a stable of Warren, Biden, and Sanders to pick from. Hillary would fit right in with that geriatric bunch.

No Steve, she can’t. No Democrat can. She ignores attacks, allows all charges against her to lose steam thanks to lack of follow-up by the Goebbels-style “press”.

And like most boxers who’ve spent their careers taking good bunches, her brains are scrambled.

I think running keeps her alive.
Running to keep alive, out of jail, make money.
She has nothing else to live for, does anyone think this witch wants to retire?
What for? Does she want to spend time with her grand children?
She’s more likely to sacrifice them to Baal.

One of the most annoying things about liberals is that they are dishonest about their beliefs (this is even more annoying than them being dishonest about other things).

If they really and sincerely believed that the only reason Trump won was because of illegal collusion with Russia to hack the election then they should be enthusiastic about a rematch.

Them telling Hillary to go away is revealing that they don’t believe their own rhetoric.

I genuinely hope she runs.

She’s a demanding, expensive to maintain, priveleged bucket of bolts, a yuge, self-entitled black hole of political gravity, serving to greedily suck up money and attention much better spent by our enemies elsewhere.

Paired with ditz Ocasia-Cortez, they are our Perfect Enemy.

This Bannon guy is crazy like a fox. Hillary vying for the nomination in 2020 will tear the new Dem party apart. The young Dems don't want the dinosaurs like Pelosi, Hillary, Biden, Sandsersm et. al. to be the face of the party. Even Ocasio Cortez has refrained from saying she will endorse Bernie in 2020.

Most of the Dem party want Bill and Hillary to disappear. They have become an embarrassment. Bannon is just being sarcastic. Unfortunately, some don't get it.
