Will Hillary appear after the Inauguration?

[sfwriter]

I really think we need her leadership and voice for what's coming. She is the only one who can counter arguments of mandate and her voice in defense of minorities and children is unassailable.

When does she reappear into the public sphere?

1. I can't think of any reason why she would want to appear or use her voice for Democrats

2. She'll probably help senate campaign candidates in 2018.

By that time, all hell would have broken loose throughout the nation and people will be screaming for Democratic leaders of every stripe.

Hillary will be the personification of "What Might Have Been".

3. I like the shadow government idea.

4. I think she and Bill will fade away

The combination of the divisiveness (just look at bazillion dump on Hillary threads in the postmortem group), heat from the republicans, and her health, would make a quiet retirement look pretty good.

5. They have the Clinton Foundation etc to run, and that does a ton of good in the world

They'll be busy.

6. Her loss is the culmination of 25 years of abuse and lies by the RW, only this time the LW helped

Why in God's name would she come back for more? Even in DU there have been full-on grave dancing threads, with so-called progressives giving each other the high-five because Hillary is now politically dead and will never dare show her face again. They're planning Bernie's future for him and fantasizing that Liz Warren will leave her Senate seat to go tilt at windmills for us.

Hillary still has work to do -- with the Clinton Global Initiative, for one -- but I would not blame her one bit if she told all of us to just go to Hell.

However, Hillary has always had class, heart, and a head held high. How will she "appear"? In a crisp pantsuit, low heels, just a dab of lipstick on her smiling face, and walking tall.

9. Losing candidates move on

They remain productive but directly resisting the person who beat them isn't the model.

10. She is not "the only one who can counter arguments of mandate."

Anyone with a mouth can, by citing the final vote totals that have her getting 2.9 million more votes than Orange Hitler.
