(2,057 posts)Not to disparage Hillary or Joe, but she is kind of a lightning rod for reich wing hatred. Couldnt this encourage the MAGAts as another chance to vote against her?

(43,155 posts)She's just one of many in the parade of high profile Democrats who will pop up occasionally and will hopefully help rally the base around Joe.
I don't think she wants a high profile role. But I don't think she wants to be shoved in the corner, either, nor should she.

For the record, Hillary was not the great enemy of the right that she is today until she ran for president in 2016 and they cultivated the fake email scandal, and switched the Benghazi conspiracy theories from Obama to her. She was unbelievably popular back in 2012 when she finished up as Secretary of State. And the right pretty much forgot about her.
She became a lightening rod because she was the 2016 nominee and the GOP had a lot of extra years to plan out their swift boating due to her early status as the overwhelming front runner in the polls. The fake email scandal was their swift boating master piece.
