Fuck's sake, less than a week after Hillary lost last fall, the Clintons are out there floating trial balloons in the press about Chelsea running for a NY Congressional seat. On the basis of what? Her work at the Clinton Foundation?
You've STILL got these diehard Clintonoids floating Hillary 2020 at Democratic Leadership Council meetings.
Goddamn ridiculous.
Shit, I VOTED for Hillary, and I'd just as soon she step back and let new faces and new ideas rebuild the party. That Clinton liberal-lite, Dick Morris-generated triangulation was what it was in the 1990s. It did a lot of good for Bill Clinton. It didn't really serve middle-class Democrats well overall in the long run, truth be told.
Who knows? It honestly won't surprise me if Hillary makes another run 3 years from now. Hopefully, should that come to pass, Democratic primary voters will have finally learned that there is no 'inevitability' to Hillary Clinton being President. She couldn't close the deal in 2008, and she couldn't close the deal in 2016. She lost first to a guy virtually nobody had ever heard of, and then she lost to the single most flawed (and singularly inexperienced) person ever to run for the presidency. She's yesterday's news.
And Chelsea has even less to recommend her.
