Hillary Clinton Says Trump is 'Obsessed' With Her: 'Maybe There Does Need to Be a Rematch'

https://www.mediaite.com/election-2020/hillary-clinton-says-trump-is-obsessed-with-her-maybe-there-does-need-to-be-a-rematch/


Hillary Clinton tonight joked about a “rematch” with President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

During an interview with PBS NewsHour, Judy Woodruff asked Clinton about the president’s tweet mockingly saying she should get into the 2020 race.

Clinton — who tweeted in response “Don’t tempt me. Do your job.” — laughed and said, “It truly is remarkable how obsessed he remains with me.”

She said Trump’s “either lying or delusional or both” and then jokingly added, “Maybe there does need to be a rematch. I mean, obviously, I can beat him again.”

by doing a November late dive into the primaries. The Biden, Warren, Sanders, etc campaigns and their supporters would go bonkers and Rump would instantly have his arch enemy back with which to turbo charge his base beyond all measure. It would create utter chaos and put the entire election seriously at risk for us.

Then BRING CHARGES against her you ass goblin? Why haven't you? Is it because you lied your ass off during the election and your lawyers even told you to STFU about locking her up.

American politics is fucking broken, a jalopy that barely can navigate itself out the driveway.

Hillary has been much less restrained and 'real' in her public interactions since 2016 ended and if you don't think it would have made a difference in that election if she'd turned it on a bit earlier then I doubt anything I say will convince you.

Have a great day...

... have real issues and reservations with everything Hortensis laid out.

My point, which still stands, is that the more 'authentic' and less scripted version of Hillary Clinton that we've seen in the last two years would have gone a long way to mitigating that heartache and those reservations back in 2016.

".. she's not likeable.. " I didn't buy into it and neither did 66 Million Voters.

I followed her campaign closely and I didn't see her the way you're trying to portray her. They were a lot of dark forces trying to bring her down with endless propaganda.. that was just one of them.

Hillary's likeability ratings have always been higher when she isn't running. When she runs then the attacks come and the media magnifies those attacks.

Better simply to deny it as such, and quickly rationalize to yourself that unsupported opinions and absolute truths are not in fact, two wholly separate concepts.

Her consistent trolling him with entering the campaign would be the greatest service she could provide the DNC.

She should send out signals she’s starting an exploratory committee.

That said, I don’t want her to run.
