Eight years from now (2016) Hillary Clinton will be 69 years old

[Stinky The Clown]

For all the haters, you need not worry. There is no reasonable assumption that she will make another run for President. Which means that freelancing as SoS is unlikely (and if she did, she gets canned).

1. but she's doing all of this with machiavellian intent

I know because I read it on DU!

2. I have a feeling she won't run again

She said she probably wouldn't and I believe her. I was surprised that Al Gore never ran again. But after thinking about it, I can understand why he didn't. It takes a lot to run for president and to do it twice would be even more difficult.

3. Well let's hope so!

That she might even be SoS makes me ill. I wish the Clintons would just get out of politics altogether. Alas, the power hungry crave the power.

4. I adore the Clintons

5. fuck all these haters, ccharles

they can all fuck themselves

7. Thank you for your concern.

But you should really stop projecting on people you don't know.

What's hysterically funny is that you never call the Obamas power hungry.

You've committed to hatred because you don't know how not to. You really need to work on that.

10. Sorry, I was paying attention during the primaries

Maybe you weren't, but I was.

6. She's part of the Obama team now.

The primary is history. Obama has long since moved on. At this point, I think an Obama supporter getting all mad at Hillary would start to look a lot like a PUMA in reverse.

8. Bingo

At this point, I think an Obama supporter getting all mad at Hillary would start to look a lot like a PUMA in reverse.

You are right, it does. You nailed it.

Edit: I forgot that I was going to say -- I agree with the OP. I don't think she would run at age 69. Limbaugh and others were already talking about an "aging woman" when she was running this year. I think it would be even worse in 8 years.

9. Bill said on Letterman that he doubted she would run again

He said "this was her time" and it seemed pretty clear that she wouldn't want to run again.
