What in the world is going on in New York? We’ve gotten reports that the Clintons want to run Chelsea for Congress, that Hillary is moping about and drinking wine all the time, that she was done with politics herself, and that Bill is being blamed for the presidential loss even though he was 100% correct about how to win.
Perhaps you thought she wasn’t going to make any immediate political plans regardless. I did! Turns out, though, that may not be the case. ABC News is reporting that Clinton may try to run for Mayor of New York City… against Bill de Blasio.
According to a report from GMA this morning, there are rumors the Clinton circle is pushing her to run, and the GMA team is saying the Clinton circle isn’t denying the claim – they’re staying silent on the matter.
De Blasio, as GMA points out, was the campaign manager for Hillary’s first Senate run. He was a big supporter of Clinton in the election. After a huge, embarrassing loss in the 2016 presidential election, however, does she really want to put herself through a tough Democratic Primary challenge?
…Maybe so. de Blasio isn’t exactly the most popular guy in New York right now. According to a Quinnipiac poll, as reported by the New York Post, 49 percent of New Yorkers want to kick him out after this term. He has a 47 percent approval rating, however, so it’s really up in the air whether he could win or lose a general election.
However, Clinton could very well get a sympathy vote that jettisons her through a Democratic Primary and back into a political office AND the national spotlight (just like we all want, right?!).
It’s a strange story, and I am not entirely sure I buy it… but, boy oh boy, do I hope the Democrats keep hurting their bench.
Your a criminal, and criminals don’t let criminals sit in public office. Something like friends don’t let friends drive drunk.
Anyway, God help us all!
The people in Jew York City deserve her!
Political dynasties do not go away without a fight. Like a professional boxer who does not fight or train for several years, the ability to “make a comeback” grows less by each passing year. So too, with the career politician, being out of the political arena lessens their ability to stay on top since their political clout tends to weaken as they lose assets and allies, and their control over others lessens. There are also the issues of pride, greed, the desire to continue control over others, and the need to live at others’ expense while producing nothing of value (I believe the afore-mentioned traits are common to ALL who pursue political careers, without exception).
While in my spirit I still hope that the Clinton crime syndicate (indeed ALL career politicians) repent and has a “come to Jesus” moment, in my flesh I just want them to go away somewhere and die, and rid us of their stench. (Same goes for the myriads of bureaucratic minions who are of their ilk).

Darzak, I hear what you’re saying, and know they can have that Jesus moment sitting locked up after justice has been served.
I agree, Katie. Nothing (short of the above-mentioned salvation) would make me happier than seeing That witch Hillary in an orange jumpsuit wearing manacles and leg-irons, or swinging at the end of a rope.
This is not even possible, Trump promised to “lock her up”, whats going on here?…..
Don’t start holding your breath, you won’t last long.
Well you know I’m joking, I’ve been anti Trump since the beginning, I even picked Hillary in the trenches poll just so we can get the war started.
Yeah, I knew you wuz just a jokin. 🙂

Ya can’t make this stuff up.
INSANITY ABOUNDS!!!!!
“I’ve dealt with liars before so I’m your mayor!” “I’ll clean house and make them wipe their chins off!” New York City, a sh*t stain on this planet, it’s perfect for Hillary. She can maintain her political clout by staying in the headlines and stink up the place even more. You know she’ll win. Then we can all sit back and wait for her run for POTUS in 2020.
Wow. She wants to run for Mayor of NYC. That’s pretty low. It’s actually a step-down for her since she was already Senator of NY. Kinda like a demotion. Especially after running for president. It kinda looks humiliating for her if you ask me. It’s kinda like going from an FBI agent to a mall security guard. Pathetic.
