Clinton moves into 3rd place in Primary betting odds.

Average of betting sites to get the Democratic nomination: Warren 52.6
Biden 19.8
Clinton 9.1

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/betting_odds/democratic_2020_nomination/

I believe Clinton is going to jump in if Warren or Biden has any missteps. She wants to run again.

On PBS she said about the election: "So maybe there does need to be a rematch. Obviously, I can beat him again."

As an obvious tongue-in-cheek remark is nothing more than that... if one actually listened rather than simply heard.

But sure... pretend a joke is serious policy if that's what gets you through the day.

Nonsense, indeed.

There was no subpoena, as he says in a tweet this morning. So maybe there does need to be a rematch. Obviously, I can beat him again.

But, just seriously, I don't understand, I don't think anybody understands what motivates him, other than personal grievance, other than seeking adulation.


So even if one didn't listen, but just read the OP's link, one can see that the "Obviously, I can beat him again" was meant humorously or at least not seriously.

She had her day.

She needs to set on the sidelines this time around, offer sage advice, and be free to interject words of wisdom at appropriate moments- NOT be another antagonist in the race!!!

Who would organize for her in the early states ? ...I imagine most of them are working for Warren, Harris or Biden …. It's not practical to get in this late ..It would be a mistake I don't she is going to make

Hillary Derangement Syndrome strikes DU.

The hatred for this woman is amazing. That anyone took her seriously is amazing. She can't enter this late. She couldn't raise the necessary money. All of the experienced staffers and then some are in other campaigns.

Use your brain instead of letting your clear hatred for Clinton cloud it.

Thu Oct 10, 2019, 11:50 AM

...it's whether she'd be a good (i.e. Trump-beating) candidate. Unless polls showed her easily winning WI, PA, and MI this time, she'd be a poor bet. I remember a poll that was from something like a year into Trump's presidency, which showed she'd still lose. She was underwater in favorability pretty much for the entire 2016 campaign, and I don't know that she'd rate any better now. Risky proposition. I think Hillary could possibly be the potential nominee who would have the hardest time beating how Hillary did in 2016, which of course wasn't enough.
