Wonder who set that precedent?
Okay, actually I know.
“Former Republican Sen. George Vionovich, R-Ohio, admitted that in 2009, on the eve of Obama’s inauguration, Republicans in a secret meeting were ordered by Grover Norquist to block everything Obama wanted, even if it would help the country.”
I do not want to see Hillary run again but I think she is planning on it and she could be the {D} nominee. She could copy cat the Trump strategy of separating herself from the pack and having the advantage of the votes being split between the rest of the field. Hillary has a die hard base and can raise money, her and Bill are doing so now. Hillary will have a message no other contender will have is she really beat Trump by popular vote.
Three big reasons why Trump beat Hillary. First and foremost it was because Hillary was his opponent. She is the best get out to vote incentive that the GOP could have. And with her me too husband it would be even easier this time.
Second, Trump is one of the best ever at doing campaign rallies. Whether he is making up half the stuff or not he is very colorful, very entertaining. Hillary is like the bitter school principal at the school assembly lecturing the students about behaving in class. There is just nothing about her that is likeable. Trump and Hillary remind me of Jimmy and Kim on Better Call Saul. Kim is smart and focused but very cold and aloof whereas Jimmy might be all over the map, makes questionable decisions and makes stuff up on the fly but which one would you rather sit down and have a beer with?
Third Hillary under performs in every race she has entered. Look at her first senate race. Look at her primary races against Obama and Bernie and of course her race against Trump. She only won the senate race because she was the dems have a 2-1 majority in the state. And she won by 12 percent.
No. The democratic party needs to cut her loose. She is the reason why Trump is President today.
Yes, the democrats need to keep her. She is their reason for living! I can stand the pain of seeing her campaign, because the outcome will be......FINALLY.....she'll be outta here!
The interesting thing is both times she had more votes by ordinary people in the 2008 primary but the Super Delegates went to Obama. She had more votes by ordinary people in 2016 but the Electorial College went to Trump. If I were her I’d assume God was sending me a neon sign that I wasn’t meant to be president and go find something else to occupy my remaining years.
The problem is, she truly does believe that - as does her husband and a number of others.
Yes to the bolded. And, I'm not particularly religious so that's saying something right there.

Stevenson lost the election twice, to Eisenhower. Hillary too has lost twice, although her first loss was in the primaries.
Stevenson went on to become UN ambassador and hit a home run during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Hillary should go become a university president or run a big charity.
Run a charity??
There wouldn't be any money left for, you know, the people the charity was supposed to help!
