Hillary for NY State AG -- is my current fantasy-- I hope she runs!!!

[eilen]

With Letitia James making the decision to run in the Democratic Primary for NYS Governor... It is my hope that Hillary throws her hat in for AG.

They say revenge is sweet... and in her case, it would be karmic.

[Sanity Claws]

1. I don't hope for that

I wish Hillary all the best in the world but I also want the best for the Democratic Party. We need to help younger candidates get a foothold in elected office.

[Salviati]

10. This.

I want people on the way up moving through these positions.

[MontanaMama]

2. I want to take a lesson from the VA Governor's race.

It’s time for us to look for some fresh faces without any baggage. The Democratic Party has an embarrassment of untapped riches. I want HRC to do what she wants to do in her life. I think the world of her.

[Deuxcents]

3. My thoughts, too

[hot2na]

4. That would be a mistake politically

Not that I have any concerns about Hillary Clinton as NYS AG, but do we really want to repeat the McAuliffe strategy or even the Clinton 2016 strategy. Clinton would drive turnout of the opposition in a way that no other candidate could (ie., Donald Trump). We have to continuously bring new candidates into the political fold.

Recycling the same old candidates is where we hurt ourselves in Virginia this year and in 2016.

5. She's in her 70s. We need to let her enjoy her retirement and her family.

[Boomerproud]

6. She has given her soul to this country only to be victimized

by many people and the media. She deserves peace.

[tulipsandroses]

7. Just no

Let her enjoy her grandkids and family instead of being subjected to right wing nonsense.

8. Tristan Snell posted last week about his interest in running for NY AG

I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

[brooklynite]

9. Never heard of him; I suspect most voters haven't

[Torchlight]

12. I suspect an effective campaign could change that.

[brooklynite]

13. An effective campaign costs money.

If he's not raising it now.....

[Torchlight]

14. Is he not raising anything?

A year of fund-raising and campaigning is not a blink of the eye.

[brooklynite]

15. Unless you've heard otherwise, he hasn't filed to run for AG or anything else.

In which case he can't legally raise money.

[Torchlight]

16. So he's broke and has no chest?

Oddly, we're both engaging in empty speculation on someone we both admit ignorance of.

[brooklynite]

17. Well, as a New Yorker who's politically engaged, I can look at the fact that non-politicians....

...rarely end up in the top elected offices here.

[Torchlight]

18. Every elected New York politician was at one time, a non-politician.

[brooklynite]

19. And rarely do they immediately run for Governor or Attorney General.

[Torchlight]

20. Precedence is never absolute, and there is value in rarity.

And never the sole reason I'd place a bet on something. Ever river is unswimmable until someone swims across it.

[RicROC]

21. Snell was NY Asst AG who prosecuted the fake Trump University case.

[Hekate]

11. Hasn't she suffered enough for our sins?

[LiberalFighter]

22. If I was Hillary I would want more personal and free time.

Being the AG would take too much away from her.

[BlueCheeseAgain]

23. I doubt she wants the job.

She's been living her best life of late-- writing novels, serving as chancellor of a university in Northern Ireland (!), seeing grandkids, etc. I wish I had one-tenth the resilience and ability to enjoy life that she does.

[Hortensis]

24. I've always wanted her in office. Have you seen her own current fantasy?

Her new novel about a female Secretary of State as the heroine in an "apocalyptic" "pulsating thriller?"

I've just started it, and it's good and fun so far. MAGAts already hate it without reading, of course. Fine with me.
