Hillary Clinton: 'I'm under enormous pressure' to run in 2020
"I will certainly tell you, I'm under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it," Clinton said. "But as of this moment, sitting here in this studio talking to you, that is absolutely not in my plans.”
Clinton, 72, admitted that she thinks “all the time” about what kind of president she would have been if she had won the 2016 election instead of President Trump.
“Of course I think about it. I think about it all the time,” Clinton said.
Even if she doesn't run there is still the chance that she would be nominated anyway if there is no clear winner. But to even be talking about joining in is suspicious.

I can’t imagine who other than the voices in her head
Are “pressuring her to run”.
Edit: maybe it’s the Republican’s turn for a pied piper strategy?
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
Lots of people are asking her to do it
Every time she tweets something inane people tell her that they want her to run again and others call her Madame President.
T-hee I like to remind them that she isn't.

Bots, obviously.
Probably Russians. I mean if that’s the answer for everyone else’s support...
/s
Honestly, I wish she’d just announce and get it over with. One, I’m sick of the coy BS. And Two, obviously losing to Trump once wasn’t enough for a lot of people. I know it’ll cause a shrinking group to dig in harder but I think if HER becomes their nominee in 2020, it’s going to be the stake in the heart of the Dems, finally and maybe we can move on.

I see this going down in a manner where she can be installed for “reasons” without being challenged by anyone or anything. Last time they did almost everything they could to assure HER “won” the primary. This time they’re going to cross the rest of those “t”s and dot the remaining “i”s.

I want to know what she thinks she can do better than Trump?
He has been fulfilling the republicans dreams that they have had forever. Tax cuts. Right wing judges. Deregulation of every industry. The war against the lower class. Locking up immigrants and funneling tons of money into the prison industrial complex. Some of the things she wouldn't get to do because she would get lots of flack for it. The only thing I can see her doing differently is on foreign policy. She was involved in Ukraine for reasons other than rigging the election. So what else would happen if she got to be president?
Anyone? Bueller....?

Trump complains they are out to get him, then he turns around and appoints one of them to his team.

Trump did an Obama and appointed insiders and holdovers,
many of whom now seem to have been trying to undermine and countermand him from day one.
He would have been a lot better off seeking out and appointing fellow mavericks.
Those zombies are out there
they are doing warm-up chin-ups with Eye of the Tiger blasting in the background, ready to waste their time, money and energy on the one of the biggest political failures of modern history. They are better off supporting John Delaney.

I’ve met people who really believed the south would “rise again” so I’m willing to accept that, especially give how so many have so much of their identity wrapped up in it. When something becomes an article of faith, you’re not changing anyone’s mind.

Completely divorced from reality
and the mental gymnastics it takes to justify her amazingness is simply unfathomable. Like... I don't have enough brain cells that could team up and fathom out what inspires their zealous loyalty.
I sort of disagree.
There are plenty of consultants that would like to get their hands on some of the money that the Hibots are willing to spend on another ego trip that "the chosen one" { in her own mind } decides to pursue.

Then the calls are just part of the pro wrestling booking. In other words, people are calling on her to run so that she can say they are calling on her to run.

I could fill ten servers with content about how much I despise h
Unfortunately, there is an unbelievably huge legion of fools waiting for this unprincipled charlatan to debut her candidacy. Social media is a cess pool of her dribbling fandom bleating about how she saved all of the children with CHIP and her enormous and decades long support of LGBTQ+ issues and how that asshole Bernie Sanders stole the election from her and he therefore should be burned at the stake. And then they are quick to answer, when pushed back, "she's not running so why are you changing the subject from how much Bernie Sanders sucks?!"
1. CHIP was nowhere near enough at the time and today. Good for her, truly, but that is the equivalent of your mom showing me your third grade bowling achievement trophy.
2. Um, there another activist out there named Hillary Clinton, was there? Or are we talking the same Hillary Clinton who didn't believe that same-sex marriage was right, only to "evolve" when it was politically beneficial, but without doing the work of an ally, like marching and signing petitions and volunteering?
3. LOL. As many people voted for Donald Trump as voted directly against Hillary Clinton. She lost that election powered by a hatred so mutual it could be seen from space. The baskets of deplorables would have voted for my litterbox if it ran against her.
Now I know what the family in a horror movie feels like; I'm on edge that the Hilltergeist may be baaaaaaaaack.
That's the same "longtime LGBT supporter"
who got up at Nancy Reagan's funeral and eulogized the Reagans for doing so much to help the fight against AIDS in the 1980s.

and once again chalking it up to "misspeaking" AFTER getting called out. For the people in the back who didn't hear it the first time: Hillary Clinton called Nancy Raegan a very effective advocate on HIV/AIDS. More bullshit spewed forth, but I'll spare myself repeating it before I stress-grind my teeth into dust.
That opened up so many wounds for people who lost
loved ones from it. What a horrible, horrible woman! A great day is coming and it can't get here fast enough for me.

I can't help but wonder
if she's really a glutton for punishment. I know, that implies she is human which I have real doubts about, but she will LOSE AGAIN. That to me is a certainty. And I do think that's what our owners want so why not run that same old tired horse race once again? And since it will not be Her fault but ours WHEN SHE LOSES AGAIN that will give her ignorant minions fuel for their fire against any real Left. I suppose that is as good a reason as any for Her to run and LOSE again, right?
Only a fool lets someone else tell him who his enemy is. Assata Shakur
My suspicion is that she doesn't think she is responsible for
losing in 2016. She had the entire establishment working to fix that primary and election 24/7 and she stil could not win. Ergo, they didn't work hard enough!
This is not a person who demonstrates any humility or any personal growth. (Kind of like the DNC cabal, hey-o!) I have not seen her dedicating any attention to a position she allegedly evolved on; it's all lip service when a camera is on and a book needs promoting.
That Russiagate has been purely a smokescreen and deflection
has been obvious from the start.

HER still doesn’t accept that she lost the first time
So I’m sure she’s convinced she’s the only possible person who can bear Trump now.

They'll rig it for her.
And this time they'll rig it right.
As someone said above (Bisbonian?) that was always the plan.
Though I have to admit, I thought they wanted to rally behind a Warren/Buttigieg ticket. Once Kamala was kneecapped.

*was* Kamala kneecapped?
I'll interpret that as "once Kamala was shown to be a non-viable candidate". Or do you mean Tulsi Gabbard's comments did Kamala in? My opinion is that Kamala proved early on that she was inauthentic. That her attempts at being hip black and attempts at being humorous deflated her support. So she did herself in.
Anyway, those people, they do love Mayo Pete. god...now that I think about it, a Wsrren/Mayo ticket would be heaven for them. oh lord...I've got to lie down.
Yep.
Her numbers dropped like a rock after that interaction with Gabbard.

Run??!!??
That's not happening.
She can barely walk.

her hearing is shot
coupled with narcissistic dementia... They are actually telling her to RUN AWAY!!!!!! But all she hears is 'run any way'!
Considering how the slate was cleared for her in 16, and she blew it, a late stage insertion would not be viewed favorably by the many, only the bots. Is she just trying to sit out the rough stuff, since as BR says, she can hardly walk? I would not put it past the DNC crooks.
A pox on her and her family.

narcissistic dementia
Kudos for having the best description of Hillary. I bet she does really believe that people are wanting her to run again just so she could save them from Trump. That he was able to win because of what previous presidents had done and especially Obama is considered CT. Obama supported 3 coups during his tenure and invaded more countries than Trump has done so far. On almost every issue that people are upset with Trump doing I find out that Obama did them first.
Lots of people voted for him because of the economy and jobs, but Hillary's supporters refuse to buy it and say that they only voted for him because they are racists. Nothing like painting with a brush the size of a car. Hillary couldn't bother even mentioning issues like that and we know that she would have got the TPP passed during her 100 days..not rethink it.

No Loyalty to the Democratic Party
These kinds of comments from HER undermine Joe Biden, whom the DNC & Dem establishment have been pushing for 2020. They deserve this ill treatment after what they did to Bernie Sanders.
She is taking over Russia's role now
Sewing dissent in the Democratic Party. Wasn't that what she accused Vlad of doing to her?
giggle

What goes around comes around
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
She'll only go for the nomination if
. . . she feels confident that it will be handed to her on a silver platter during a second ballot, making it look like she is uniting the party coz afterall she really won against Trump by 3 million votes but her victory was denied to her by the Russians!
There's no reason for her to enter the primaries although she may opt to enter a few towards the end that she feels she can win for sure down south just to get the ball rolling, making her look like she still has support.
In the meantime, she's doing everything she can to sow discord in the party. She's more than happy there are still so many candidates cutting into each others's votes. Bloomberg's an old pal of hers and he'll chip away at Biden's vote. Warren the fauxgressive is taking away from Bernie's votes. So are Tulsi and Yang with no chance of winning the nomination themselves. The big question I have is will Tulsi align herself with Bernie or Biden? And still nothing from her about Bolivia, I see. Harris, Booker, Klobuchar, Castro, Buttigieg and the other losers all take away Biden's votes for now at least (Buttigieg makes sure Warren can't rise much above Bernie to challenge Biden). But lotsa folks, even folks who hate HRC with a righteous passion, may well opt to play into her game. So it goes. Still Bernie or dust for me.
I guess a "tell" would
be is if there is a serious push for a write in campaign to get her on the ballot. In a way I hope she runs with the backing of the DNC, so when she augers in she takes the Rahms and Carvelles and the rest of the Clinton gang with her.
Many, many, many, many
are asking HER to run!
Millions are demanding she not!

no
one not in an asylum would want that woman to run for anything but the hills. She already lost to the worst man in the world, in an election where the Americans made it very clear they would prefer Charles Manson to be the president, rather than her. If she enters the race now, she will be beaten like a gong by people with names like Buttigieg. Is she ready for that? Could be. Sometimes, with junkies, they just continue to fall; never do reach bottom. Till they go to the boneyard.
Junkies
Hillary fits in well with the financial capitalist, corporatist oligarchs. They're all junkies of the highest (or lowest) order.

I believe that connected democratic party oligarchs have contacted Hillary in order to defeat Sanders. Who to them is worse that Trump. Much worse.

Thanks for the chuckle! But didn't she pretty much pick Manchin when she picked Kaine? I guess that is the only way it could have been worse for us.

Ugh
I don't know how you can do that. I only read her crap when it comes through my Twitter feed and that's enough. Another horrible woman who treats people she wants to vote for democrats as worm poo. If she thinks people are going to get all unity on her pick she is very very wrong!

Trump's dream, Trump's nightmare
There is someone who would be mightily pleased if Her ran. In fact, if Her runs, that person could slip on some comfortable shoes and go shoot people on 5th Avenue in broad daylight ... and still win.
If you make a list of the people - any people at all - who Trump can beat, Her is at the very pinnacle of said list. If there's one thing Trump wants to see it's a corporate Democrat as an opponent, so why not have the ultimate neo-lib corporate Democrat? After all, he won't have to change a thing – same speeches, same hats, same Mussolini bottom-lip-out pouting stance.
And if anything, Americans are more sick of Her than ever before due to her inane and caustic habit of blaming everyone and everything except HerSelf for blowing the biggest sure thing in modern American electoral history. Americans don't like a sore loser. Just ask John Wayne or Clint.
Oh, and that list I mentioned above, there are two names on the bottom of that list. Those two names make Trump wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat because he knows he's toast if he has to run against either of them. I think we all know who they are. Trump does.
Trump and Hillary are buddies,
. Trump is a con artist, a carnival barker...and he is in the WWE Hall of Fame. Trump's job all along has been to drag the Overton Window so far to the right, that Hillary can rule as she wishes, and still look good in comparison. He's the 'heel', She's the 'face'.
No, this wasn't the way it was supposed to work out. She was supposed to win last time. Trumps claim that he could shoot a man in public and still get elected was not a boast, it was a cry of despair. They underestimated just how awful you had to be, to be a worse choice than Hillary. So he ratcheted up the evil...he's doing shit now, just to be as cruel as possible. Separating families, deporting Vets. It'll probably get worse.
It still might not work. I think Hillary is blowing the plan...she should have kept out of sight, and kept Her mouth shut for a good bit longer...obviously, that wasn't possible for such a narcissist.

Agree Trump is akin to a carnival barker, but then I hate to disparage carny folks. Con man? Absolutely. His first carnival act I was aware of was when he boasted how he could construct that New York City ice rink under budget and early. He did that, as I recall. While I knew who he was before that, that stunt put him permanently on my radar – where he has stayed. I felt that the ice rink deal couldn't be done as it was without mob help and/or at least some healthy doses of corruption. At the time I didn't much care, as I was not a New Yorker. It did cause me to prick up my ears, though.
I remember an interview someone had with him back in 2012, at the GOP convention. He was running then, too. He was just as unhinged then as now, with quite a bit of notoriety due to his birther rantings. This gave him a lot of street cred with the then-powerful Tea Party crowd. Of course, he got swept out the door at that convention with other rubbish. Sometimes folks forget that he has run for president more than the last time.
Just read an article comparing him to a mob-type figure or something. This is fairly close, in my book. He's a bit con man, almost certainly a user of various mob-related services, and a narcissist to such a high degree that universities used film of him to demonstrate extreme narcissism to students. And those films were shown decades ago. Oh, I almost forgot about his fascistic tendencies.
What a guy!
I really hope I don't have to vote 3rd party again.
But I will NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump. Never. No matter how bad it gets

she can't win, she has a dirty cackling laugh
she can't supress, and who wants that kind of laugh in a president? If she runs, she will stumble all the time, and people get tired to pick her up.
I remember her crying just one time, out of exhaustion. It amazed me back then, as she couldn't avoid show some human tiredness more than 11 years ago. I searched for that video clip and it isnt on you tube any more, if it ever was. I archived it back then and it's there on tape in the archives of the ARD Washington DC studio.
It isnot this 'emotional Hillary Clinton' video, btw. That one is of course on you tube available, because it's the phony crying Hillary.
This video made me grin.
[video:https://youtu.be/fq3iBWHHQAQ]
so did you get the tears and the cackling laugh?
She is obsessed and it's killing her. She could have such a nice, comfortable retirement from politics, too sad she is caught in her own 'fixed idea', which means she is accordingly
Seems not to be the candidate for diplomacy and trustworthiness.
Well, she sometimes is a human too. In a debate with Tulsi, she would lose hands down. I am sure she will avoid to debate Tulsi and arrange for it to never happen. But Tulsi might be understanding, after all Hillary has been under sniper fire in Bosnia, (she got caught lying and called it 'mispeaking' and Tulsi understands both, the sniper fires and the lies.)../s
Sigh.
