In the interview, she said she won the last election by about 3 million votes and she can win the next time by at least 10 million. She believes the people of America deserves a rematch.
Also, she said she expects to win over many present Trump supporters to her side. Although she has not 100% decided if she will run, the odds are very good that she will. She thinks America deserves to see Trump get a good ass-kicking.
Of course, if you have read this far, you should know that this story is not real. But, it would be nice to see heads exploding all over the Trump camp. It would be a nice political trick for Hillary to pull. Trump would shit himself.
BUT SHE WOULD NOT RUN AGAIN.

(94,452 posts)Clinton made a fatal error in assuming that if you voted for Obama you'd be voting for her; they never canvassed effectively to confirm that.
I was working in Cleveland Ohio on early voter turnout and the lists I was given should have been completely scrubbed. They were a mess.
As for the Russians, I'm of the opinion that their Facebook crap just reinforced beliefs and biases that voters already had.

(66,307 posts)I'm torn between wanting her to run again, and horrified at the thought. I don't want her going through all of that again. She has a tough hide, but the viciousness of the haters makes me want her to retire from politics and never give them the satisfaction again.
Don't panic!
I think it would be a good political trick for her to pull. I'm not sure she would ever want to go thru that ordeal again. But, think about the reaction it would create on the other side!

(1,803 posts)We lost last time because of the anti-Hillary vote. If it had been Biden or anyone else, we probably would have a Dem President right now. There is too munch disdain for Hillary even if it is undeserved. If she runs, she loses again. We need some new candidates to step up.

(29,699 posts)it is believed that she won by about 14 million votes. 16 million voters were purged in 2016 alone.

(9,527 posts)It estimated that everyone who was purged was an illegitimate purge and not someone who move, that they all would have voted and that they all would have voted for Clinton.

(42,660 posts)Republican heads would be exploding from joy. The 2018 elections would suddenly not be just about Trump but about whether Democratic candidates were supportive of another run by Hillary. It would be insanely divisive for the Democratic party.

(9,512 posts)Lets win the House in November, get rid of trump, force pence to name clinton as vp, then force pence out. A constitutional way of righting the last election before 2020. Hopefully well have leverage from Mueller to make it happen.
Please dont bother telling me it wont happen. Its still a great idea.
