Clinton mulls role in 2018 midterms

Hillary Clinton has all but avoided appearing at campaign events since her stunning 2016 loss, but some Democrats believe she would be a welcome voice in the 2018 midterms.

Despite polling that shows Clinton with low favorability ratings, they say the former secretary of State could help Democratic candidates in congressional districts she won last year.

“For me, it's a no-brainer,” former Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman during the 2012 and 2014 election cycles, said in an interview.

“If she's willing to go into those districts she won, she would be extraordinarily helpful,” he said. “Trump's numbers have only fallen in those districts, so you start there. It would be such a loss if she sat it out and a double loss if she didn't go into those districts.”

1. Go Hil Go

2. She will get more popular anyway

As she does when not seeking power.

3. In deep blue districts in large cities, she would be given the parades 45 so desperately craves.

She would be feted like the heroes returning from WW II.

4. She has an important message she has already been pressing

The Clear and Present Danger: Trump/Putin/Republican Alliance Threat to Democracy

The Economic Future: Accelerating Automation

The Foundation of our Democratic Movement:Human rights- the worth of each individual

The Posture: Never Give Up.

I'd like to see Gore and Kerry out there too.

What a different place we would be in had there been a Gore presidency. He was the classic "prophet without honor in his own land." Millions of people have been catching up to him now.

10. I think you missed the relevant qualifier...

I think you missed the relevant qualifier...

“If she's willing to go into those districts she won, she would be extraordinarily helpful...”

I you can provide us with objective numbers supporting your premise in regards to those particular districts, by all means...

8. I would think if the candidate wants her to help why shouldn't she?

[Demit]

12. Not a single quote from Clinton herself in that article.

The headline should read Everybody except Clinton mulls Clinton's role in 2018.

Reminds me of the speculation last year that she was going to run for NYC mayor. Pure clickbait.
