around her. She WON more votes! And to add more salt, a dingbat is in charge and she acts with dignity. Who among us could be so nice? And after all that people in our party denegrate her.

She would make a really good president, but at this point in our history the last thing America needs is to give Trump the opportunity to run for reelection against Hillary's email server.

Clinton can't just be hosting a fundraiser for the party, no no no!

There has to be some secret, underlying motive here to fund her re-entry campaign.

many many comments from HRC show she has ruled it out. It is just not the Democratic way - since Adlai Stevenson - to encourage people who lose - no matter how narrowly - to run again. There was a brief time when Gore was encouraged, but it is not clear that had he entered, he would have won. In 2005/2006, Kerry, who ran a very good, high road campaign, where no real baggage/scandal was brought into the open. To some, he represented the disappointment of losing - made harder because he beat the dynamics of 2004 enough that it had looked possible to win near as he ran. I think this is stronger with Clinton, because there never was a thought that she could lose.

Personally, from a distance watching videos and looking at photos, HRC is not someone who loved being on the campaign trail. I seriously doubt she wants to go through this again.

Another point is who would benefit. If HRC did enter the race, whose votes would she gain? My guess is that it would impact mostly Joe Biden. So, the winners would likely be the other top candidates. My guess, is that this is why the op was posted. However, I think that where Biden - as the choice of nostalgia - might lose some of his support, I doubt it will really lead to Bernie as the nominee. For one, if he did become the frontrunner, like every frontrunner before him, he will suddenly have a huge spotlight on his entire life and the question will be how he deals with it. My guess is he would have a very tough time dealing with it well.

About your guess why the op was posted, you are over-thinking that one. I just do not believe Hillary can not run.

and coming from the DNC, it can be considered a trial, trial balloon. Just to see what kind of response it draws. She's not really running, but wouldn't you like it if she did, kind of thing?
