Question: Is it too late for Hillary to step in and win the Primary?

[sellitman]

I for one would love to see it.

Ok folks...tear me to shreds.

[HerbChestnut]

1. Yes.

[brutus smith]

2. Yes, to late.

[politicaljunkie41910]

9. When was the deadline? Bloomington and Steyer just got in barely a week or two ago and

Iowa and New Hampshire haven't even held their primaries yet. 99.9% of the nation hasn't voted yet in a primary or a caucus. So if you know can you let me know just so I don't have to bother to look it up. I'd appreciate it.

[boomer_wv]

18. Its over.

Something on the order of 35~ states have closed their ballot registration already. It's too late to get in.

[yellowdogintexas]

30. Texas's deadline is first week in December. nt

[rurallib]

3. most states have filing deadlines so ballots can be printed

just based on that I would guess she is too late for t least half of the delegates

[former9thward]

25. There is no requirement for a nominee to participate in the primaries.

If there was a contested convention she could offer herself as a unity candidate. Especially since she did participate in the 2008 and 2016 primaries. She is not someone who has never run before.

[getagrip_already]

4. The barrier would be getting on the ballot in every state.... or even enough states

I think most of the deadlines have already passed.

So someone entering now could get on some of the ballots, and run, but likely wouldn't win unless it was a landslide.

But she has said in no uncertain terms she won't. So why even speculate?

[Thekaspervote]

15. Hillary won...remember

[Progressive dog]

6. Yes

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Yes, assuming she even wanted to, which she obviously doesn't,

or she’d have already done it.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. *Groan*

[LakeArenal]

28. Ditto.

10. On January 2, 2020, it was announced that Hillary Clinton took a 5 year job...

as Chancellor of a University in Ireland:

[link:https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-50970400|]

This makes me think that she is not planning on running for President of the United States this year.

[Recursion]

14. Republicans will no doubt be demanding the transcripts of her matriculation speech next

I absolutely love Secretary Clinton. I voted for her without even a trace of hesitation or remorse. I also think she's suffered enough at the hands of the country's right wing nutjobs, and she absolutely deserves this position where she can simply do things she cares about without having a Congressional investigation start.

[Sloumeau]

17. I love Secretary Hillary Clinton as well.

I am glad she will be going somewhere where she can escape Republican nonsense. Ireland is gorgeous, and she and Bill will find plenty of places where they can relax, and plenty of friendly people to talk to.

[boomer_wv]

19. To be fair....

That's a ceremonial position.

[lunasun]

22. + I was thinking good plan for her to not be here if 2020 gets too crazy Sad to say

[Recursion]

11. Legally? No. Practically? Probably (nt)

[BlueTsunami2018]

12. She could still file to run in 41 states for the primary.

But it’s too late for California, Texas, Ohio and Illinois. Some pretty big ones.

So while it isn’t too late, it’s kind of too late.

[abqtommy]

13. I think HIllary has spent too much time in the political wringer, both past and present, to

want to give it another try. The way I see it, she's going to be an asset to Democrats no matter her
chosen position and I say more power to her!

[genxlib]

16. FFS

[Hortensis]

20. Yes. Biden has this one. And I'd love to see Hillary

playing a very, very important role in his administration. A huge part of our current tragedy is that all the big plans she and her partners in congress were ready to leap forward with on day 1 still wait to be done.

[LakeArenal]

29. She's doing Obama on the Supreme Court.

[Hortensis]

33. No, Arenal, it was Trump doing Kavanaugh and Gorsuch.

A lot of people are content that that's better than Hillary anything, most delusional and spiteful, some just spiteful, but hey, whatever floats their boats, right?

[TreasonousBastard]

21. Yaknow, part of me would love to see Hillary wipe the floor with him in a rematch, but...

it just ain't gonna happen.

[Demsrule86]

23. Ridiculous suggestion...yes it is too late...and the candidates we have are just fine.

[BootinUp]

24. Lol. Hang tight man. This all will be

Sorted out in about 60 days.

[Newest Reality]

26. Rip, rip, tear,

rip, shred, tear, cut, rip, chop, dice, shred some more. Are you bits, yet?

[peggysue2]

27. Yes, too late for Hillary Clinton

Breaks my heart to say it but Hillary's opportunity came and went. She should be sitting in the White House and we should have avoided the chaotic and incompetent babyman squatting in the Oval Office now. But that didn't happen for a host of fraudulent reasons.

I trust HRC will have a productive, busy life, continuing as the dedicated public servant she's always been and doing good in the world.

We missed a grand opportunity in 2016. But it is what it is (sigh). Should make us all ever more determined to kick the Imposter-in-Chief to the curb.

[dominic savio]

31. ahhh, nostalgic dreams

GORE-CLINTON-2020

[Vogon_Glory]

32. For that, I hope so

I do not say this because I don’t think that she wouldn’t have made a good president. She would have been a good one, orders of magnitude better than the vile orange creature resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and it is a tragedy for the country and the planet that she wasn’t.

I campaigned for her twice: once in 2008 and again in 2016.

But despite my admiration and support for Hillary Clinton, I believe that so much filth has been heaped on her and that there are so many d**n fools out there that are stupid enough to believe that horse manure, that she is unelectable.

Thus far, she’s chosen not to run. Our loss, the country’s loss, but the best thing for the Good Guys (aka the Democratic Party) to win the White House and get to work setting our ailing republic back to rights.

[MustLoveBeagles]

34. No one should tear you to shreds for your opinion. You're entitled to it. However,

Short answer: Yes


Long answer: I love Hillary and think she was robbed in 2016 but don't think she should run this time. It wouldn't be fair to the other candidates. Besides I wouldn't want her to go through that hell again. I would love to see her campaign for the eventual nominee though.
