Oh noes! Hillary lost Trump? once you've lost Trump, you've lost the idiot vote. Boring Trumper is boring, banhammered.

I supported her runs in 2008 and this past year (although I would have been ok with Bernie, too - I was a true neutral), but I think we need some new blood. Preferably someone who didn't kill Vince Foster during sex with him, while simultaneously reading Ben Ghazi's emails...or whatever it is they think she did.

Of course, anyone chosen to run is going to have to run the same gauntlet. Warren would be "Pocohantas" and Booker would be "that gay guy". And those would be the nice comments. You can't escape it.

You got that right! 45 has given them enough material this week (and it's only Tuesday) to keep them busy for months. What's this idiot doing? Writing about Hillary 2020. Jackass

You can find several of them on YouTube. Had forgotten how good they could be. There is one of Martin Sheen doing one for what looks to be a British chat show and stepping into it effortlessly.

Well, there is that. Not sure anyone could believe it.Even though they have been seeing it for *weeks* now.

Say ... maybe Sorkin *could* come up with something ... somehow I think it might resemble some of the Downfall parodies, though.

I'm certain my fellow Wonketteers are aware of their civic duty, but allow me to remind you that there are elections every year (local stuff) and that Democrats who are looking ahead should be looking at taking the Senate and making inroads in the House in 2018. That is all.

She may not be awe-inspiring for the young'uns who post comments here but she would be doing the job. And she would be paying attention during meetings, intelligence briefings, reading all of those policy reports and reviewing speeches that her staff would be writing for her. In the same way she served as senator for New York, she would have served the nation. It would have been boring but she would have gotten the job done.

Yes. He announced it on Inauguration day.

I saw some the other day at the Commissary. But based on some of the things they sell there, I thought it might have been some of the original stuff.

latest breaking douchebag cilizza story...'hillary to decline run for mayor of quinnipiac; locals concerned over her use of private pothole-filler'

Fuck him very much. We could have had a smart, sane president who wanted to help people instead of corporations and wasn't in bed with Russia and had boring non-scandal scandals. Instead we got this disaster, and Cillizza's biggest worry is that the smart sane person might give it another go for some reason? Fuck him.

I love that the narrative changes daily from "where is Hillary, why isn't she doing or saying something" to "Argh, it's Hillary! Don't let her run again, or speak, or tweet, and better shut Chelsea up too, for good measure." And by love, I mean "am disgusted by". This happened before she announced in 2016 too. And probably before she announced in 08 -- I don't remember that for sure, but I'd bet on it. I do remember some of the same back and forth before she ran for senate the first time too. Why in hell she'd want to give this exercise any more of her time and effort is fucking beyond me.

I remember wanting to like that stuff so much way back when. I hated it, it was gross, but for some reason I really wanted to like it.
