[The Hill] Hillary Clinton: 'I'd like to be president', currently not planning 2020 run

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

please no

I doubt she'll run again though. you can't just lose a layup against Trump and then come back to the primaries like "hey please support me again, I can beat Trump this time promise"

My problem with the prospect is that even if Hillary won with flying colors, Republicans would respond by going even more insane in an attempt to make her admin as ineffectual as possible.

I'd think she'd make for a good president in a vacuum, but the current political climate is completely incompatible with her.

No go away hillary

Imagine saying this about a person who would be the most qualified President in history.

Imagine.

 

[Vestal]

I love Hilldawg and she should have been president in 2016. Would have been one of the greatest, but her time has come and gone. If she where to be in a Dem primary I would not vote for her (as long as I have alternatives other than Biden or Bernie)...

That being said, if she somehow made it out of the Primary as the Nominee, I would vote for her every day and twice on Sunday.


But to be honest, lets stop focusing on a single quote, and actually pay attention to the real things that are happening right now. We have had a barrage of Racist acts of violence, with little to no real leadership coming from the WH and we have a Midterm election in 8 days.

 

[faceless]

YAS QUEEN!

 

[peppersky]

She'd lose and even if she wouldn't she would be an awful president.

So she'll probably run and win the nomination.

 

[PhaZe 5]

She won't beat Biden anyway.

If she runs and Biden doesn't though....fuk

 

[Dreams-Visions]

she would be an awful president.

Click to shrink...

Why?

 

[Benita]

Hillary had her shot and she blew it.
Step aside.

Click to shrink...

The American people blew it.

 

[Lo-Volt]

"Sure I'd like to but I'm not running" is how I read that.

 

[onadesertedisland]

Please, if you care about our nation, do not. Be a champion for someone new.

 

[Amory]

She's gonna run again. Book it. She's already starting with that weird speaking tour she set up

 

[Real Hero]

The American people blew it.

Click to shrink...

yeah so let's not redo it all (plus more American people voted for her than trump so not really)

 

[AegonSnake]

I still think she would have been a great president but she cannot win. time to move on Hillary. Americans dont deserve you.

I think she would be a good president, but she would have to win first. At this point I have lost faith in her ability to do that.

 

[Kinthey]

What could possibly go wrong

 

[Effect]

It's rare one gets a "do over" but I'd honestly be for it. Maybe with a second chance some people won't be complete and utter idiots. That goes for voters and those in the damn media. She's not running again though as she said but I'd vote for and support her again without question.

That said the media would act like morons again the second she announced. They'd forget all the vile shit Trump did to try and be "fair". Those that regret their vote for Trump or clearly see how horrible he is, would act beyond stupid simply because it's Hillary. You even see it here when her name is brought up.

Hot takes aside, if it actually happened I'd laugh and laugh

 

[Kyzer]

You have to be completely blind to victory to want this.

Hilary couldn't beat the worst candidate of all time,

I like her and I think she would have done a great job but its clear that a portion of the American population simply don't like her for one reason or another and if I'm a Democrat and I'm trying to win, I think she is a less than ideal choice.

 

[Rayne]

Let's see how many people are going to read the OP.

Click to shrink...

Come on now. You already know.

 

[Nightbird]

Not a good idea. At least not right now.

Edit: She acknowledged it herself. Good on her.

 

[Human Resources]

it's nice to want things

None of that matters. She's not liked. Get over it.

 

[Baji Boxer]

Why?

Click to shrink...

Usually foreign policy in regards to war is the biggest sticking point I hear from Democrats who don't like her. At least those that can articulate a "why".

 

[AtticusFincher]

Please don't. The last thing Democrats need is another Hillary/Bernie splintering. You had your chance. Fall back.

 

[oledome]

I want to be president

 

[gutter_trash]

At least she is being honest

 

[Sain]

Nope. Nope, nope, nope. DO NOT WANT.

 

[Acheteedo]

NO.

For the love of god, no.

 

[Deleted member 13798]

Nope.

I feel bad for her, but no.

 

[Deleted member 4346]

Get the fuck outta here.

If that's their core voting issue, fair enough. Not many dem candidates will be far from her general positions on those matters other than quasi-Dems like Sanders.

 

[TheGhost]

How many more L's can she hold?
Has there ever been someone more hated than this woman? Go home lady, retire. Let the Young blood have a chance. Remember when you were young...damn.


But yeah...door is closed, she knows it, that's why she answered the way she did.

 

[Pandaman]

She can be Bernie's VP

you're both right

 

[Deleted member 8777]

Jesus fuck.

 

[Deleted member 19003]

So click baity. She said no. Christ, let it go people.

 

[artemis]

If that increases Mr. Trump's chances, then go ahead.

 

[Sweeney Swift]

The American people blew it.

Click to shrink...

Yep, and still won't take responsibility for it

 

[garlic powder]

As much as I hate to say it, still better than Biden lol

Man this sucks

 

[Subutai]

I'm glad she realizes it would not be smart to run again. I used to have the feeling she would have been a good president due to hearing that people liked her for the most part, both R and D. Now? Everyone is so crazy about her I'm not sure anyone likes her. Nevermind the fact the people in our country are also crazy over her.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Can't wait to relitigate everything.

Please don't do this, Hillary.

 

[Skinny Pete]

No....just no

 

[Deleted member 19003]

If that increases Mr. Trump's chances, then go ahead.

Ew.

I might be reading this wrong but it sounds as if you want the racist who has literally contributed to the death of Americans this past Saturday to win reelection.

 

[Sectorseven]

Has any presidential candidate won against an incumbent they've lost to before?

Click to shrink...

Grover Cleveland

 

[Baji Boxer]

I think she'd be a relatively good president, and she gets the raw vote counts, but hasn't shown an ability to implement a winning strategy in two tries now (obviously). Popular vote keeps meaning less and less.

 

[mikeys_legendary]

She loses in the primaries if she runs. I doubt she will though.

 

[PhilosopherDirtBike]

A Trump vs Clinton rematch would confirm that we are in the dumbest of all possible timelines
