Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)Clinton says she is being urged by 'many, many, many people' to run in 2020 [View all]
PoliticoHillary Clinton on Tuesday declined to rule out launching a future presidential campaign after her two failed bids, saying many, many, many people were pressuring her to enter the race.
I, as I say, never, never, never say never, the former secretary of State said on BBC Radio 5 Live. I will certainly tell you, Im under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it.
But as of this moment, sitting here in this studio talking to you, that is absolutely not in my plans, Clinton added.
Whereas in previous election cycles the field narrowed as the primaries approached, 2020 is different: Democrats continue to join, indicating an unsettled and broadening race less than three months before the Iowa caucuses and as polls reflect shifting support for top-tier candidates.

As someone who maxed out to Clinton, volunteered for Clinton and put her staff up in my home, I'm thinking "no".
If I were to vote in a presidential

these will soon be updated by Gallup, but it is not a pretty set of charts, almost 30 years of RW

Yeah, Hillary's attack on Tulsi only succeeded in giving her much needed press coverage.

Dear heart, there is no "circus", and Hillary's accurate critiques did not give any significant bump

Not really. Tulsi's rise in NH seems like it has come directly at the expense of BS.

Yes, Michelle didnt hedge one bit... no doubt she would displace Joe as the front runner on Day 1!

That's what I would've thought, but then there's Hillary saying things that leave people to wonder

Very possible... and quite amusing if that's Hillary's true intention. I still think she's at least

Yes, SC makes sense, but Hillary at least would have to declare very soon...

Sounds like she's trolling the pundits. She's been doing that a lot lately.
