Could we see a 2016 rematch after all?
Failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton hasn’t exactly been quiet since losing the election in 2016. She’s been vocal in her opposition of President Trump and despite her rather late concession speech, she’s been a poster-girl for the #Resist movement. She’s written a book about her election loss blaming everyone but herself for it, has toured around on speaking tours that no one attended, and is now the subject of a four-hour docu-series that will air on Hulu.
In an interview with Variety to promote the documentary, Hillary was asked, “I know you’re not running for president, but do you ever feel the urge to think: “I could beat Donald Trump if I were running.” Her response was that she did feel that urge.
Over the years, she’s hinted that she just might run again.
This time, however, she insisted that she was going to support who is running now and whoever it was that will finally become the Democratic nominee.
She said, “Yeah. I certainly feel the urge because I feel like the 2016 election was really an odd time and outcome… But I’m going to support the people who are running now and do everything I can to help elect the Democratic nominee.”
Q: Do you ever feel the urge to run?

This follows what she tweeted after one of the comments she made in the documentary about Bernie Sanders was made public.
Hillary said, “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it. I will say, however, that it’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women.”
When people started weighing in, Hillary joked about it tweeting, “I thought everyone wanted my authentic, unvarnished views! But to be serious, the number one priority for our country and world is retiring Trump, and, as I always have, I will do whatever I can to support our nominee.”

She’s so awful.
So, maybe she isn’t running again… but then again, she hasn’t committed to supporting any candidate. And you never can tell with Hillary.
Perhaps she’s just waiting to see if Bernie keeps leading in the polls to take him out again. Because that would be a very “Crooked Hillary” thing to do.
