Hillary was right about everything

Donald Trump has been fighting the release of his tax returns since he first positioned himself as a presidential candidate, and MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski said their long-awaited disclosure proves he was always lying about them.
Trump claimed the returns couldn't be released during his 2016 campaign -- and throughout his presidency -- because they were under audit, but the House Ways and Means Committee concluded the IRS failed to audit his taxes, as required under a mandatory presidential program, for the first two years of his term and did not complete any of them.
"It proves that Hillary Clinton, was right all along," Brzezinski said. "Nancy Pelosi was right all along, Chuck Schumer was right all along. The Democrats were right all along. Reporting from the New York Times was right all along, Washington Post, too, was 100 percent correct all along. Donald Trump was not under audit. Donald Trump was lying. He was desperate to hide the truth from Americans."
"That truth, that far from being a shrewd businessman, he was, in fact, the biggest loser out of the 300 million Americans who filed their taxes with the IRS," she added. "The man lost more money than any other American, at a time when he was writing "The Art of the Deal," this was happening, and worse than that, the fact his own Treasury Department under the bumbling hands of Steve Mnuchin refused to audit the president after Trump got into the White House -- that's usually done. So that lie continued and continued and continued until last night."

OP
Your OP says it is a RW trap to not support a non-existent campaign for a non-existent candidate.

What in the world are you talking about? Hillary isn't running, doesn't want to run. Biden is.

The RW HATED her as far back as 1992. They HATED her as First Lady. Their HATE continues

No doubt, that's why I supported her presidential ambitions for over a decade.

She lost and I think would lose again. You always run the incumbent if you want to to win.

No, 80 is not the new 60. There come a time when the younger generations have to step in.

She would turn 85yo in her first term if she ran and won in 2028. And no, 80 is not the new 60.

Biden's VERY likely running in 2024, Harris will be his VP, so 2028 is the soonest Hillary could run

I don't trust polls this far out. There is also a problem with this vs a head to head poll

Pretty sure we tried this - twice. Both times didn't go too well for her.

They hated her when Bill was president. It only got worse. She was the best First Lady ever.

Do you ever wonder why Biden didn't pick her as his VP? She was certainly more qualified

Dropping Harris would be bad optics, particularly to the most loyal part of the Democratic base.

Totally agree. Dropping her would have a VERY negative down side. nt
