Hillary: ‘Many, Many, Many People’ Want Me to Run for Prez
Today in The Delusions of Hillary, the twice-failed presidential candidate told a BBC radio host that “many, many, many people” were pressuring her to enter the presidential race. “I say, never, never, never say never.”
I can’t help but think that many, many, many Americans never, never, never want Hillary Clinton to run again. What are your thoughts, Ricochetti: How would a repeat of 2016 go this time around?
Full disclosure: I only posted this story so I could use the creepy AP picture above I saved from last election.
Published in General
I predicted Scott Walker in the 2016 Republican Primary, and Hillary Clinton in the 2016 General. I think those were both very reasonable predictions. I was very wrong on both. Obviously I no longer understand America if I ever did, and my predictions are worthless, but I would like to put this out there: Neither party should celebrate when the other party puts out what appears to them to be a crazy malevolent candidate. The crazy may win.
Maybe “all those people pushing me to run” are the ones who paid her 10s of millions to the “Clinton Foundation” and want something back for that investment…
“…and so it turned out it wasn’t in the basement of a Washington DC pizzeria after all; but we soon figured out that it was on Jeffery Epstein’s private island the entire time! I tell ya, we sure had egg on our face after that little howdy-do.”
-From a future retrospective about life in the 2010s
What I’d say is “Don’t throw me in that briar patch.”
This is next-level Alinsky stuff: Whether she actually runs or not she is contributing to the frenetic Bizarro-world political climate that makes normal, rational people give up. In 2020 the progressives will continue to turn up the crazy in order to elicit Trumpian defenses “See, we told you he’s nuts”. Their biggest fear right now is dawning awareness of deep corruption in the ruling culture of our betters. Distraction needed – call out the creepy queen.
*Pops popcorn.*
Bring it on!
Well, if this is about getting to reuse graphics…
Looks like Wisconsin is trying to get ahead of the voter fraud.

Apparently the Elections Commission has decided that you should still be on the voter rolls for two years after you move out of Wisconsin. Because after all, they literally have the authority to make up their own rules. There’s a lawsuit to stop this nonsense, but we’ll see.
As for Hillary – isn’t she dead yet?
I always saw Hillary as the steely enabler of the creepy sociopath. Turns out she may be as big a narcissist as Bill. Who knew?
Why won’t these people just go away??? Have they not screwed America over enough already?
More or less.
It will never be enough for them. BOHICA.
I think that there are only three “many, many, many people” who want Hillary to run, namely Hillary, Bill and Trump.
I don’t have a lot of hope.
I hate spunk.
Lou Grant to Mary Tyler Moore.
In Chicago, not even being dead gets people off the voter rolls.
And every couple of years, they bring busloads of people from Chicago to vote in Wisconsin. So the Wisconsin Elections Commission isn’t about to clear the voter rolls. They need those extra names.
Two thoughts:
There’s this. We must remember that all this is sounding chillingly like the Dem’s response to the idea of Trump running for President.
And consider that, setting aside the issue of voting fraud, nominally half of voters already voted once for the most corrupt person ever to run for President. Even with the ever – growing mountains of evidence against her, she still has supporters who would put her in the White House instead of prison. Who was it that said, “you get the leaders you deserve?” Is she what we, a country, deserve? I shudder. And I won’t stop shuddering until this country comes to its senses. And my confidence that it will do so in the long run, is, I fear, waning.
Yeah, let’s not ask that. Instead, let’s ask if we can be better.
I heard someone compare her to herpes. I think that says it all.
I for one join all the voices in Hillary Clinton’s head to encourage a rematch with Donald Trump.
She is also the money behind the only Suicide Hot Line in the world that gets you to commit suicide.
Both Seth Rich and Jeffrey Epstein found out about it the hard way.
Has anyone here heard anyone say a positive word about Hillary Clinton and about the idea of her giving this a third try ?
Re: comment 2
I wonder if Bill just loves seeing Hillary humiliated.
No donations this time around?
People must get addicted to being prominent public figures. What we’re seeing with Hillary might be the symptoms of withdrawal.
As a candidate, an individual gets to keep whatever monies they hadn’t spent on their last, losing campaign, as long as they keep on running. I suspect Hillary will be a perpetual candidate til the day she dies.
I don’t think they’re any longer permitted to convert it to personal use (they used to be) so I’m not sure this makes any sense, unless she actually thinks she might run again.
Going to wait for the children of journalists and politicians to have their say, usually in diction far above their learning level and conveyed to us through tweets about day to day activities.
