Hillary Clinton Urged to Run for New York Mayor


I find this curious. I know she won the presidential election in NYC by a landslide, but that was when she was running against Trump. I'm not convinced that she's a good choice, here. NY'ers haven't been too happy with DeBlasio, and Hillary shares many of his traits and talking points.
What a joke...it's like running just for the heck of running and with her losing record

Btw doesn's she officially has to live in NY which she doesn't.

It's funny, I actually believe Hillary is probably a closeted sensible moderate, but the party left her long ago and she felt compelled to tow the party line.... Oh well.

Question, do people not comprehend what they read? Says she has been "urged" (whatever) to run for mayor, hence not her idea, someone else's idea. I very much doubt that someone who was the Democratic nominee for POTUS, Secretary of State, and a US Senator is looking for a mayoral position.

After the campaign we just lived through, I would have highly doubted that the Clintons would be at the inauguration, but that's happening.


I think the power hungry Clinton's will look for any way to stay in the spotlight.

She has had a long life in the public eye. I like Hillary but maybe it's time she spends her money and enjoys her grandchildren.

I guess what is bugging me is this story has gone from "reportedly urged" to "urged" (reported by one news site and then picked up by others) to posters wondering "why won't she go away?" There is such a huge difference between "reportedly urged" and her actually showing any interest at all in that position.

One of my 'curious' thoughts was why anyone would urge her to do this? It's like a good percentage of people didn't just live through this election. Like a course me others pointed out, even though she won NY easily, she would probably be facing a liberal opponent, and I question how many liberals, particularly NYC liberals, really like her. Then again, we ended up with DeBlasio. Maybe the standards of the city's voters don't exist anymore.
