(Great news if true!): 'I Am Done With Being a Candidate.' Hillary Clinton Rules Out Another Campaign
'I Am Done With Being a Candidate.' Hillary Clinton Rules Out Another Campaign
Hillary Clinton says she's ruled out another run for office, but you don't expect her to leave the political stage entirely.
"As an active politician, it's over," Clinton told Jane Pauley in a Sunday interview on CBS Sunday Morning. "I am done with being a candidate. But I am not done with politics because I literally believe that our country's future is at stake."
Clinton told Pauley she was so certain of victory over the eventual winner, President Donald Trump, that she had only drafted a victory speech, not a concession speech. She added that she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had purchased the home next door to their Chappaqua, New Yrok property as a location for White House staff and security.

In a December survey taken of the Democratic presidential prospects for 2020, a staggering 62 percent of respondents did not want Hillary Clinton to run for president again.
Oh please oh please oh please.
But the old baggage says she's not going away because the country is still in danger from some pretty bad guys. Well she's at the top of my bad guy list. Always. And she's got a documented history of lying about everything, big or small, so I seriously hope she learned a lesson when she found out 62% want her to back to the woods and she's just not trying to make 62% of the country happy.

She said she intended to stay involved in politics
because the world situation is so dire, it needs her. bwahahaha

And only Her can make it even more dire?

Not running again? I think she's stoned.
She's going to have to find some way to stay in the limelight because she loves all the attention.
I thought it was terrible the way she upstaged Bernie the other night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with her little "fly by" cameo appearance.
/s
She don't do reefer.
Gin and tonics are another story.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.

I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
Grifters gotta grift
No way is Her going to leave quietly. Her will claim she must run because her supporters on Verritt are begging Her to do so. Her gotta keep the money machine running.

Which is why the poor woman has to promise more and more of the American and other people's stuff to the hyper-wealthy in order to have anyone to listen to Her speeches.
Her must get so lonely, in Her own little world...

Yep, she can do just as much damage...
If we don't elect her. There are tons of places she can be appointed to destroy things...
After all, It's not the bullet with my name I'm worried about... it's the one labeled, "To whom it may concern"
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Perhaps she could buy Herself

What disgusts me the most
in that quote above are the detailed, meticulous plans set forth for her certain future coronation. Buying the property to serve as her home WH??? WOW! I shouldn't be floored, but I am! This is the final nail in the coffin that THEY ARE IN CHARGE of everything that has anything to do with them maintaining power and the money needed to remain in that realm. I'm not just referring to the Clintons, I mean tptb.
What a shock that the people elected Herr Drumpf, but they've got him reigned in. Bannon might be a fly in the ointment for a short while, but he'll soon be gagged, or worse, ignored. They dodged a bullet with Bernie because he would have worked, with the people behind him, to deliver the platform. Would they have gotten to him in the intervening time with their lists of cabinet members, the whispers in the ears of working together or else, etc.?
Yes, we are all aware of the sham. What floors me is how she exposes it without realizing what she is revealing. She thinks it's okay to expose this truth because she was SUPPOSED to win, goddammit!
What a farce our country is.
It's shameful.

Yup. She's not running for
Yup. She's not running for now, maybe. But my money would be on her jumping back in as soon as she can get a new book together and yet again reintroduce herself to the American people. Narcissists gotta narse, I guess.

She said the same thing after losing in 2008.
@nosleep4u
And claimed Her wasn't sure about running this last time, so as to more freely break campaign finance and other law she broke while running anyway.

Ooooo. That didn't occur to me.
Right now I don't see what she has to sell because the Dims aren't running anything. They're making sure nothing else gets done and bankrupting:bullshitting the country with this Russia Did It phony excuse for losing the election to Donald Trump. (Which is why I was glad he won the election over the Clinton Creature. )
NEVER in my lifetime would I ever have imagined wanting a 'democrat' to lose to someone like Donald Trump. But here I am and here we are.
Screwed. Up, down, and sideways.

I was just going to post the same thing...
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
Cat fight between her and Obama for speaking fees?
Given her past, I suspect what she means by staying in politics is charging people for speeches and consulting. If the rumors are true that Obama wants to stay in charge in the backrooms of the DNC and donor parties, then looks like a cat fight is developing between them for control of the party and its money stream from donors.
And the thing is both will attack, marginalize, or force out as many progressives as possible.
You make a really good point
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
Since Her's already lied
Since Her's already lied about running for election, (and just about everything else,) no, I don't believe Her this time, either.
Unless, of course, a re-write of the Constitution is planned to include a real coronation of Corporate Queen Hillary the First, complete with Pot-Holder-Hillary train and to carry it, adorable little pages in My little Pony costumes, as a shot aimed at Americans hoping for a representative social democracy?

I believe her. She won't run again.
The problem is, she'll still be manipulating the Party's levers of power, keeping its machinery oiled and running, and trying her best to crush any attempts at fundamental reform. I'd be surprised if Kamala Harris were not chosen to be Hillary's heir apparent, and given the full support of the Clinton machine.

And now we believer her?

I read that as, "Okay, you won't elect me, but you most certainly will elect whoever I choose for you to elect. Just watch."
So waiting for her to fall down and not get up so that the rest of us get a break.
@Hetrose
Not getting my hopes up yet, personally. Lots of time to start making financial arrangements and accumulating money before the next Presidential election and Her's hemmed and hawed before... plus Her lies like a doormat, as we all know.
Her was also talking about perhaps running for NY Mayor earlier, possibly to get another official power position to grow from - no idea, but Her's sooooo pathologically greedy and power-hungry, I can hardly see Her being satisfied with being a part of any unofficially titled shadow government position, out of the public spotlight.
