Of course, she said that last time … and here we are.
Hillary Clinton says she much prefers being Donald Trump’s “shadow President,” and claims that, despite mulling it over in the wake of her 2016 election loss, she definitely, most certainly, absolutely will not run for President for a third time.
Probably.
Speaking to BBC Radio, Clinton dispelled rumors that she’d be willing to take a second go at President Donald Trump, even though he said earlier this week that he’d “love” to see her challenge him in the mid-term elections.
“No, I’m not going to run again,” she said.
She continued, “I think I’m in a position where my voice will actually be magnified because I am not running (for office), and there’s a very good basis, as we watch Trump’s support shrink, that people will say, ‘Well, what she said was right and now where do we go from here?'”
The unfortunate problem for Hillary is, of course, that her “voice” is in the wilderness, much like she was for weeks following her loss to Donald Trump. She can “speak out” on social media, or deliver stinging remarks in foreign countries as Trump negotiates the realities of day-to-day life as Commander-in-Chief, but her advice and counsel doesn’t matter much to a President who derives sadistic pleasure from reminding her that she’s on the outside looking in.
Clinton has ramped up her criticism in recent weeks, after her disastrous What Happened book tour left fellow Democrats puzzled at her long-term value to the party. After all, her tome featured no good ideas on how to improve data collection, or admissions that she failed to pay attention to flyover country in a way that would have allowed her to message to out-of-work Rust Belters correctly, just deep, and self-consoling admissions that, despite her best efforts, everyone around her failed to make her President.
The so-called “Resistance” has also more or less abandoned their former Presidential candidate. What passes for organized anti-Trumpism is mostly Soros-funded and populated by older, retired women who consider posting angry screeds and Occupy Democrats memes on Facebook a form of political activism. The Women’s March, which should have embraced their fallen hero with gusto, invited, instead, her Democratic opponent Bernie Sanders to give a commencement address at their first annual gathering in Detroit.
But nevertheless, Clinton persists.
“I’m trying to make the case about what we need to do so that what happened in my election doesn’t happen again,” she told the BBC. “But I’ll also be raising money and support for candidates and causes I believe in. And I’ll be supporting the Democratic Party in the elections this year, next year and 2020.”
She rounded out her interview by insisting, yet again, that it’s nearly impossible she failed to win office. “I thought I was going to win, I thought I’d have the awesome responsibility and great honor of being the first woman president,” she said. ” I had worked on a speech celebrating a victory. … And it all came crashing down,”
You almost feel sorry for her.
Almost.
