In reply to the discussion: Hillary needs to run in 2020. She will WIN! [View all]PoindexterOglethorpe
(28,493 posts)She ran a terrible campaign in 2008, this year her campaign wasn't much better. And if the DNC hadn't done their damndest to insure she'd get the nomination, if the media had payed any attention at all to Bernie Sanders, she'd have lost to him.
Perhaps vastly more to the point, and someone you Hillary Forever! types need to wrap your brains around, is that most of the people who voted for Donald did so because they were tired of the same old same old. They didn't care a flying fuck if Trump was qualified, but they new they did not want another Clinton or another Bush or another establishment politician in charge.
And yes, she did get quite a few more votes in the end than Trump, but the Electoral College system has been around since the beginning, so I can only blame Hillary and her campaign in the end for the loss. Not Bernie. Not the mainstream media. But she, herself.
You are completely delusional if you think that she could win in 2020.
And frankly, she is too old. She looks old and tired and should enjoy her golden years.
Elizabeth Warren would be a vastly better choice than Hillary Clinton in four years. Yeah, I know that Warren is all of two years younger, but she looks a good fifteen years younger. Have no idea why, but she does.
Better yet, let's start cultivating younger people who could be the future of this country, not all those senior citizens.
