Clinton aide won't rule out 'Hillary 2020,' sparking glee from White House

By Adam Shaw

A longtime Hillary Clinton adviser is hinting that the former secretary of state may have one more presidential run brewing -- a statement greeted with glee from the White House.

"It's somewhere between highly unlikely and zero," Philippe Reines told Politico about the possibility that Clinton runs again in 2020, "but it's not zero."

Clinton, who ran unsuccessfully against President Trump in 2016, has remained in the spotlight since her defeat with a book release and speaking tours in which she has waxed lyrical about the Trump presidency and state of American politics. This month it was announced that Clinton, along with former President Bill Clinton, will embark on a speaking tour in which they will share anecdotes from their time in politics.

But as Democrats begin to consider who may be their pick to turn Trump into a one-term president, Reines appeared to be making the case for Clinton.

"It's curious why Hillary Clinton's name isn't in the mix -- either conversationally or in formal polling—as a 2020 candidate," Reines said. "She's younger than Donald Trump by a year. She's younger than Joe Biden by four years. Is it that she's run before? This would be [Vermont Sen.] Bernie Sanders' second time, and [former Vice President Joe] Biden's third time. Is it lack of support? She had 65 million people vote for her."

"Chalking the loss up to her being a failed candidate is an oversimplification," Reines added. "She is smarter than most, tougher than most, she could raise money easier than most, and it was an absolute fight to the death."

Run Hillary run!

Can she not take a hint?  She humiliated herself in 2016 why is she willingly going to subject herself to more humiliation? Donald Trump will have a field day with her once again. Good news for conservatives I guess, so long as the Democrats continue to push their radical candidates, our place in power is there to stay.

I think it's a great idea. She'll battle Bernie,again,in the primaries along with a few assorted socialists and show America that voting for the democrats is a really bad idea. Other than socialism, they have nothing to offer Americans.

I believe if she did run the DNC will give her a little taste of her own medicine and shut her out as they did to Bernie when he ran against her.

If she was smarter than most she would have campaigned in Wisconsin and not insult half the country by calling them deplorables. If she was tough than most she wouldn't blame her loss on everyone but herself and very few big donors will contribute to a third failed campaign.

I think Clinton is the only candidate that Trump could defeat.  :)

A Clinton never got my vote and never will.  Trump never will either unless he behaves more like a man instead of an entitled clown.

Great perspective.  Thank goodness Trump didn't have to go up against, say, the Jill Stein political machine.
