Capt. Obvious

(9,002 posts) Mon Mar 2, 2015, 03:16 PM Mar 2015

Do you think Hillary Clinton is going to run? [View all]

All of the teeth gnashing on this site over her potential candidacy and she has not yet declared, and as far as I know started the obligatory exploratory committee.

Is it just accepted wisdom that she's in?

I'm going to plant my flag here: I don't think she will be the Democratic nominee next year but unlike others, I think she will not be the nominee because she will not run.
