    Honestly I don't think she lost because of the deplorable statement.

    She lost because she is a woman, she is not very personable at all and she was so arrogant that she just assumed she would carry states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Michigan. At the end of the day she wasn't all that great of a candidate.

    Her "Huffington Post" election team did her no favors, either. I would've been like, "Forget Georgia. Forget Arizona. You will not win Arizona, are you kidding me? Do not campaign there. You need to go to the Big Ten states......except Ohio, your 'we're going to put a lot of coal miners out of work' killed your chances in Ohio."

    It was a perfect storm of events that kept her from winning. I never had a problem with her, but yes, caustic know-it-all women do not win friends. Or elections, I suppose.

    I found it interesting that she said she has many people pressuring her to get in the race. If her party doesn’t want her then who are these people? I’m sure B-Bob would welcome her with open arms on Fantasy Island.

    The people that would be paid to work on her campaign and get good jobs if she were elected President.

    There is no ground swell or huge public desire for Hilary Clinton.

    I suppose some business owners may want her to run, but they cannot think she is going to win...... plus they can always buy off Trump or Biden easily.

    We say this about a lot of people all the time, but in her case she probably really does live in a bubble. She'd have a large network of people who for economic, political, or ideological reasons would really like her to be president. But it isn't so big a network that it can really deliver votes. After what happened in 2016, I really can't imagine getting millions of democrats to say "yeah, let's run it back!"

    But, of course, I also didn't think people would vote for an obvious crook like that narcissist Trump, so you should probably disregard my opinion. I have a problem with overestimating people.

    Os with the misdirection post...

    Although, as a moderate Democrat, it seems like you would be excited for her to get another shot at it.

    I mean I’ve got nothing against her but political family dynasties are dumb imo. And she’s had her chance.

    She’s promoting a book and clearly doesn’t GAF anymore (hence the Tulsi comments, Stern appearance, etc).

    She’s not running.
