Clinton says she is being urged by ‘many, many, many people’ to run in 2020
The two-time presidential hopeful and former secretary of state wouldn’t
definitively rule out another bid.

Hillary 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, I’m 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.
Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York, filed for
the Alabama primary a day before the deadline last week — possibly in
preparation for a full-blown presidential bid. Former Gov. Deval Patrick
Massachusetts has expressed interest in announcing his candidacy as
early as this week.
Could Clinton be next?
Reporters have doggedly asked Clinton that question on nearly every
media appearance she’s made promoting a book, “The Book of Gutsy Women,”
which she wrote with her daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
She has alluded to the possibility multiple times, including in a
Twitter exchange in which she quipped back at President Donald Trump,
who had urged “Crooked Hillary” to enter the race to edge out “Uber
Left” Elizabeth Warren.
“Don’t tempt me,” she responded. “Do your job.”

I think that Crooked Hillary Clinton should enter the race to try and
steal it away from Uber Left Elizabeth Warren. Only one condition. The
Crooked one must explain all of her high crimes and misdemeanors
including how & why she deleted 33,000 Emails AFTER getting “C” Subpoena!

Clinton, who won the popular vote in 2016 but lost in the Electoral
College, seemingly ruled out a 2020 bid in multiple interviews. If she
does decide to be a late entrant to the race, she will have missed the
deadline to be on the ballot in several states.
“I know, it’s way past time,” she said on Tuesday. “Look, I think all
the time about what kind of president I would’ve been and what I
would’ve done differently and what I think it would’ve meant to our
country and our world. … Whoever wins next time is going to have a big
task trying to fix everything that’s been broken.”
One very good comment is:

I am one who actually has a lot of respect for HRC and to coin a phrase,
"I thank her for her service" for all her work on behalf of the United
States. But I am also among the "many many many people" who would say:
"Please don't get into this race". That ship has sailed.
She may be a smart and hard-working lady - but she sucks at being the
kind of politician who can win the presidency. Who runs for president
and doesn't even visit the upper Midwest? One who sucks at being a
candidate - that's who.
