Her emerging 2018 strategy, according to more than a dozen friends and advisers familiar with her plans, is to leverage the star power she retains in some Democratic circles on behalf of select candidates while remaining sufficiently below the radar to avoid becoming a useful target for Republicans seeking to rile up their base.
Most likely, they said, Clinton will attempt to help Democratic candidates who have a history of supporting her and her family, and expending her political capital in a number of the 23 congressional districts she won in 2016 but are now held by a Republican. Lending a hand to Democrats organizing at a grass-roots level is a priority, they added.
Shes not going to be up front, said Jaime Harrison, a former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party and an associate chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Harrison said Clinton told him in December that she was committed to turning out core blocs in the party, such as African Americans and Latinos. Shes saying, Listen, Im no longer running but we need these groups to be strong and people to vote.

(11,122 posts)Why would we expect her to stop.
She's smart, honest, and decent. Those who disagree are unaware and easily led astray by right wing propaganda.
She coined two phrases that are completely accurate. "The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" and "Deplorables".
She was lambasted for both, but both are totally accurate. This is our new America. Speak the truth and get crucified. Tell a lie and become president.
