To the So-Called Democrats Talking Up Clinton 2020: Shut Up

A Request to Mark Penn, Andy Stein, and Any Other So-Called Democrats Talking Up Clinton 2020: Respectfully, Shut Up

When conservative trolls, clickbait news sites, bots, and Trumpists are cheering, is that truth telling or troll-feeding?

In the week since the midterm elections, the news just gets better and better for Democrats.

In recent days, we have picked up a GOP-held Senate seat in Arizona and continue racking up congressional wins in California. The expectation is that we’ll get very close to gaining 40 seats when every vote is counted, the largest Democrat gain in the post-Watergate era. Not to mention the hundreds of state legislative seats and seven governor’s mansions, and ongoing recounts in Georgia and Florida.

It was a blue wave.

So why are we being inundated with texts and headlines talking about Hillary Clinton running in 2020?

Because so-called Democrats can’t stop themselves from feeding right-wing media.

Mark Penn and Andrew Stein’s Wall Street Journal piece “Hillary Will Run Again” is baseless speculation from people who are, at best, former insiders. Penn, who worked as Clinton’s pollster, now wants to fire Robert Mueller and owns a public affairs company that has worked for Paul Ryan. Stein endorsed Trump in 2016 and heads Democrats for Trump, a big departure from his roots as New York City Council president.

And would be happy to see her in the next administration, but certainly hope that she is being honest when she says she has no interest in running again.
We need to be in sharp contrast to the GOP with our diversity and orientation towards young voters and party leaders.

Reminds me of that so-called Dem pollster that took a deep rightward turn in order to devastate the D's as a tv pundit for many years. I haven't seen him lately and probably won't remember his name. I think he was "notable" mainly in the Carter-Clinton years. I haven't seen him on tv in recent years...


No, Hillary will not run again. Nor do I believe she should, though I strongly supported her in 2016
