Team Clinton says there's no way Hillary's running again

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Hillary Clinton is not running for president again, longtime advisers and confidants said on Monday as they pushed back on reports that the 2016 Democratic nominee is weighing another White House run.

The allies acknowledge Clinton is wistful about what could have been had she won the presidential election against Donald Trump and wants to continue to help the Democratic Party. But they say her plans do not include another presidential bid.

“She’s more likely to win Powerball,” Philippe Reines, Clinton’s longtime adviser, told The Hill on Monday.

Another longtime confidant added, “She’s not running. I think it would be pretty damn clear if she was.”

Confidants say there isn’t anyone behind the scenes trying to sway her to enter what is expected to be a crowded 2020 field. Likewise, there aren’t any internal discussions about the presidential race and there isn’t a ramp up of staff either.

7. Triggered

13. Hillary has been fundrasing and

actively GOTV for the Midterms.

I'm sure she'll be out there supporting the Democratic Candidate for POTUS in 2020.

16. We can write in her name...right??

Hillary 2020! She’s a great Democrat.

25. Gives you more time to tenderize those sacred cows.

2. Of course she wasn't, and The Hill article said as much, but it sure brought the Hillary haters out

of the closet


You know, the one's who refused to vote for the Democratic nominee in 2016 by either not voting or voting third party

and if I have offended somebody who falls into that category, F**K EM


just like those assholes who told those of use WHO VOTED FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

6. She said she wasn't running twice. Fuck this noise from the Hill.

8. The Hill is notorious for trying to stir up sh*t, expectially it seems like if the "story" has the

potential to divide Democrats

3. I couldn't blame her.

Chances of winning or preferred candidate talk aside, the only thing which sucks more than the ordeal of running is if she won and got to live in the ultimate fishbowl for a few years again. Say what you will about what a good job she'd have done for us, at some point she's entitled to have a life and a retirement for herself.

[MadDAsHell]

27. I'd say she's already living that life. Isn't she making like half a million just for appearances?

Retirement was taken care of decades ago.

[Pope George Ringo II]

28. She's well-funded, certainly.

But she's got a right to enjoy it. Spend some time with the grandkids, that sort of thing.

[R B Garr]

29. The only people CONCERNED about a popular Democrat

being popular and sought after use that to fuel their own popularity. Bagging on Hillary is a rigged system.

[jalan48]

9. I think she's making the right decision.

[k-dub]

10. She had her chance, twice

She lost (twice). If there are no other good, qualified candidates other than this one person who keeps resurfacing then we're toast.

Hillary has served admirably and well, but it's time to end this charade.

[Cha]

11. There is No "Charade". Hillary has been

out there fundraising and actively helping to get Dems Elected for the Midterms. GOTV

I appreciate her contribution to our political discourse.. and I'm sure she'll be out there supporting whomever wins the Democratic nomination for 2020.

[emulatorloo]

14. A Trump supporter tried to murder Hillary, so of course some DU'ers need to shit on her

I can’t even with these people

[Cha]

17. I know. "Charade"? What the hell does

that even mean? Go straight to Hillary and blame it on her.

21. I'm still trying to figure out what the charade is.

WHAT IS IT!

[Cha]

22. Charade..

[betsuni]

23. Oh, it's an exciting mystery!

[emulatorloo]

12. She has said she isn't running again. Over and over.

Why the fuck are you compelled to keep shitting on her?

[betsuni]

15. The geniuses over at JPR are beside themselves with excitement, they KNEW IT!

But they are puzzled why we here at DU are saying no of course she isn't running, she said so over and over. She "owns the DNC," is "insane, hellbent for coronation," etc., how triggered they are at the two magic words Hillary Clinton!

[Cha]

20. HaHa.. jpr. lol Thanks Hillary

for giving them something to chew on.

19. Democrats are definitely not the "charade"

[kcr]

24. Why did they have to ruin the fun so soon?

I enjoyed watching the Clinton deranged getting stupidly worked up over it.
