In this thread we speculate if Hilary will run in 2020

Would people spend money endorsing the most expensive campaign in the history of the world again?
 
Oh man, I guess the perspectives are really different depending on who you want to win. Being a supporter of Obama in '08 and Bernie in '16 has made me loathe Hillary. What does that say about the political process when two candidates "on the same side of the fence" have supporters that actively loathe other people with similar values and policy plans?

I never hated Hillary's policies, I just hated the person pushing them based on how she handles herself and the campaign.

The policies she proposed, and are being proposed are the right course of action. That's why I think this "Bernie has no details" shit is stupid as fuck.

People don't think all the advisors, policy makers would jump on Bernie's ship as soon as he's in the White House?

Look at at how quickly all these corporate, racist, pieces of shit joined the trump white house.

She wasn't a good candidate in the last election nothings going to change that even members of her own party wishes she just goes away.
 
I don't think the next Democratic candidate is gonna be Hillary, Bernie or Biden. Then again it's still so far away so who the fuck knows or even cares at this point in time?
 
I would be flabbergasted if she ran again.
Even more so if the DNC gives her a chance after seeing how much their constituents would prefer almost any other candidate.

Meh, she got basically the same amount of votes as Obama four years before. Just not in the right spots.
 
The ignornance regarding HRC is staggering. She is still by far and away the most qualified person for the job.

Regardless, there is an exactly 0% chance of her running again, and you guys are just enjoying beating a dead horse, which is sad.

Maybe she is the most qualified but that does not make her a good candidate.

Yeah I doubt you'll see many people arguing she's a good candidate. I believe even she's admitted she doesn't like running for election nearly as much as actually doing the job. For Trump it seems like it's the opposite.
 
I guess we will find out very soon then won't we. I for one am feeling pretty fucking confident. The country is more politically active than it has been in decades and Trumps presidency has been a disaster and an embarrassment so far. The majority of the country is against him and everything he stands for. And on top of that I can only assume the media and the Russia investigation will have more breaking news in the months to come. That certainly will not be helping the cause of the GOP.


Thats not even taking into account the scandals and embarrassments that Trump's own administration will create for itself. Its been nonstop since he took office so I don't see that stopping just because the mid-terms are close by.

Even though very few people might approve of his boorish behavior and tweet antics, but the majority do seem to approve of his management of the economy, which is the key to any president's re-election. I'm very confident too that unless there's a recession or definite proof of "collusion", he is on his way to a second term.

Also, despite the big mess with the kids at the border, polls also show that people want MORE border enforcement not less.

I've always expected she will run unless she is too ill or the DNC makes clear no super delegates will vote for her. Her shots at Trump on twitter only reinforce this belief.

That your country's two party system is utterly fucking terrible, stupid as shit, and as a result citizens treat politics and political parties like they're sports teams and it's much less about policy and more about "owning" one another
 
Put it at between 0 and 5%. Just can't see it happening as many identified left/dems prefer her to exit out of public view now. Can't see an increase of wanting her front and center to occur.

Think too early to say who the person would be but feel confident won't be her.
 
If she got the nom again i'd never vote for Democrats again. Hated doing it in 2016, I will vote against her if she tries that shit again.
 
Unless they can somehow inject a discernible personality in to her.. I was always amazed that anyone could enthusiastically support her, Trump is warm and personable by comparison.
I could understand supporting her actual political ideals, but her and her husband are grade A creeps in my book.

The Russians got to you, it's ok. Eventually when the HRC biopic comes out you will begin to reflect

Considering most of her post campaign talk was about how everyone was at fault except her for losing (Bernie, Russians, Comey, media ....) it wouldnt be supring if she started as one of candidates in pre-elections. That what happens when you lose connection to reality and surround yourself with yes-men.
 
She probably will. Who else do the Democrats have?
  • Bernie Sanders (they treated him so well before, and he's only getting older)
  • Kamala Harris (has limited appeal outside of California, and no shortage of critics here in this state)
  • Eric Garcetti (LOL)
  • Joe Biden (would have been a strong candidate in 2016...his appeal now is questionable, but I like his odds more than Clinton's)
  • Oprah (would be psychotic of her to run, as she is no doubt taking notice of what Trump is going through)
  • The Rock (hope steroids, sexism and homophobia weren't a part of his wrestling years!)
  • The mysterious candidate that everyone keeps talking about that just hasn't debuted yet?

Okay, this right here is the problem I had with this woman. That chapter of her book where she bitched about how Trump made her skin crawl and menaced her... lady, tell the man to back the fuck off. Own that shit, we'd have cheered. No, it's a pile of hindsight of how other people conspired to usurp her rightful claim to the throne.

She needs to understand that the United States is ready for a female president. We're just waiting for a better female.

Who knows anymore, though? Maria Menounos in 2020.
 
Hillary is coming off:

-One election in which she lost in the primary to a complete unknown who no one had ever heard of.
-Another election where her opponent ran the worst campaign we've ever seen and she still lost in every battleground state that mattered.

If the Dems seriously hitch up with her AGAIN then they're the dumbest party ever and they deserve another four years of whining about Trump or the Republicans. I still can't believe they went with Hillary again in 2016. No one fucking likes her. No one ever did. The Dems need to get her and her husbands' hands off of their balls for once. Any even remotely decent candidate would have beat Trump and easily.

With that said, the top candidates listed:

Elizabeth Warren - Will be 71 in 2020
Bernie Sanders - Will be 78 in 2020
Joe Biden - Will be 77 in 2020
Hillary Clinton - Will be 72 in 2020

Holy shit, is it seriously impossible to find a candidate that isn't pushing their 70s? My Dad is in his 70s and I wouldn't trust him to run the TV remote. Yet all of these people (some pushing 80!) are the Dems' best choices to run the country? What a joke.

Also, Oprah won't run so please stop mentioning her. Neither will The Rock. Thankfully, recent events have killed all of the Zuckerberg hype which is good because he would have been the most boring and creepy candidate ever.

She probably will. Who else do the Democrats have?
Kamala Harris (has limited appeal outside of California, and no shortage of critics here in this state)

It's impossible for me to look at Ms. Harris's name without thinking of this guy:

Yeah he was so menacing she was at his wedding and Chelsea and Ivanka were mates. Until he ran Trump was loved by everyone especially liberals.

Oh, certainly. He made her skin crawl when she took his fucking money. Sure.

Guaranteed she runs again.
 
I don't understand how anyone can watch Bernie speak and then say with a straight face that he would make a good leader.
 
Also, mm I the only one is SO sick of that being listed as the "definition of insanity?"

That is clearly not the fucking definition of insanity. Can people please stop saying it is?

If you're fixating on that, you're missing the point. Trying the exact same thing and expecting the result to be different is a stupid move. Hillary Clinton is not a natural winner. If she was, she'd have won the primary against a relatively unknown one time senator called Barack Obama back in 2008 to then go on and contest the presidency against McCain in 2008. That was the perfect window of opportunity for her and she blew it. If the DNC wants to unseat Trump, they need come up with a better candidate and one without the stench of repeated failure about them. Especially one apparently incapable of acknowledging any of their shortcomings in terms of their previous election campaign. I dare say Clinton might run (her ego demands it), I just don't think she'll make the primary.

I just want you to know that this part of your comment was absolutely hilarious lol

Heh, sadly, it's true.

Well, I do agree with this part. I have no idea why the Dems EVER ran with Hillary in the first place...people hated her when she was just a First Lady. She would have lost to McCain had Obama not showed up...that much is certain.

I was more just nitpicking the phrase itself. It's clearly not insanity to do so and, if it is, then every athlete or coach involved in sports is insane.

Because kids like the allure and sexiness of Socialism.

Bernie's got the Ron Paul thing going where he complains about obvious things and then offers utopian world solutions that will never happen. Because many young people are idealists and have no idea how the world, money, or politics works, they buy into it because they think it could happen.

In the end, Bernie was VERY similar to Trump to me...rattling off a slew of promises that have no chance of happening.

The DNC would be making a terrible choice if they chose her for the 2020 elections. She is not a good candidate and would actively push voters away, just as she did when she lost to Donald Trump, of all people back in '16. I wouldn't be surprised if she ran, but I wouldn't expect her to get very far.

She would be a terrible candidate but I don't see anyone capable of challenging her, should she choose to run.
 
Let the Democrats keep with the message of Socialism and Communism. Let them be upfront and honest about what they are after and they will lose every time.
 
It is midway in 2018, shouldn't there be at least someone they hope to prop up by now? I mean Obama was all the hype long before 2008. Obviously Bernie is running, but I would expect a more mainstream Dem to be gathering steam at this point if they had one.
