Hillary adviser floats possible 2020 run, says all depends on ‘best odds’ to beat Trump
2019-10-25
[BIZPACREVIEW] Fox News host Tucker Carlson scoffed in disbelief when a longtime advisor of failed 2016 Democrat presidential nominee Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
claimed Wednesday that her final decision regarding the upcoming 2020 race hinges only on whether or not she feels that she boasts the "the best odds" of beating President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
"She ran for president [last time] because she thought she would be the best president," political consultant Philippe Reines said to the FNC host.

"If she still thought that now, if she thought she had the best odds of beating Donald Trump, I think she would think about it long and hard."

Reines’ history with Clinton starts as early as 2002 when he reportedly served as the then-New York senator’s press secretary and runs up until at least 2016 when he reportedly helped her prepare to debate then-GOP nominee Trump.

Unconvinced by Reines’ claim, Carlson then asked him whether she might be purposefully avoiding the 2020 race because she thinks she wouldn’t survive the Democrat primary given how far to the left that the party now leans.

"[H]as the Democratic Party changed so much in the last three years that it would be possible for Hillary Clinton to get the nomination? ... Maybe she is too right-wing?" he asked.

While the question might sound silly, even former President Barack Hussein Obama has been criticized by some Democrats for allegedly being too far to the "right."

Reines replied by claiming that Clinton’s reasoning for not entering the race has nothing to do with any "anxiety" over participating in the field.

"She’s not running because she has any anxiety about the Democratic field," he said. "She really likes a lot of the people running. She knows them well. She thought about some of them for her vice presidency. But there might be a reason that she would be the best person, not only to beat Donald Trump but to govern after Donald Trump."

#5  Depends if she gets investigated and charged by the DOJ or not. She will run if she is for the political cover.
