Discussion: Hillary Clinton: I'm Not Running In 2020, But 'I'm Not Going Anywhere'

Good for you, girl. I’m tired of the balls out sexism of telling her to go away. She has just as much a right to be part of the conversation as any of these men do.

She says she has spoken with several of the candidates seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, and has told them, “Don’t take anything for granted, even though we have a long list of real problems and broken promises” from the Trump administration.

Not taking anything for granted is probably the most important thing that all the democratic candidates must remember, especially after one of them is the eventual nominee.

I certainly feel grateful for the surge of new young leaders we’ve got. But that said, and emphasized, I’d love to see (God let it be Thy will) a new Democratic President nominate her for Secretary of State to rebuild, to the extent possible, the State Department and our sadly dilapidated alliance network. Offhand can’t think of a stronger way to say we’re back and were never really gone; the past four years were an aberration, we realize now we have a problem, and we’ll deal with it. Honestly is there anyone better with the policy chops, personal history, and sheer grit to get that done? And send a big FU to Putin?

“Don’t take anything for granted"

Like she did.

Nobody but ChumCons thought she was running.

Q: What were here signature accomplishments as Secretary of State?

A: There weren’t any.

Her judgement and record insofar as international relations and military actions have not been good.

Well, at least I was against the war in Iraq. It took her 10 years to admit her vote on that was a mistake.

There are others who could do a better job, I think.

vows she’s “not going anywhere.”

And definitely not to Wisconsin!

(I kid, I kid.)

Suppose Obama offered to accept the job. Would you give it to him?

I wasn’t expecting her to run, but I’m glad she made it official. Whatever you think of Hillary, no politician in memory has taken as much unfair and malicious bullshit from the right-wing as her. Murders, drug running, pedophilia…she’s been falsely accused of every one of those and more. It’d be torture for her (and us) to go through that again.

Meanwhile, Crybaby Trump wants to change libel laws because the media keeps reporting on the criminal and shitty things he ACTUALLY DOES! If they did loosen libel laws, Hillary would be the richest person in America.

I like that idea … I also think NATO ambassador would be a good fit. She’s so talented, she would be great at any job under President Harris, Warren or Klobuchar. Perhaps “special advisor to the President” with top security clearance would also be possible (and it would burn Dipstick something good).

Suppose Bugs Bunny offered? I mean, as long as we’re posing each other these open-ended questions.

Bernie has trouble with gun control, and his supporters have trouble with mouth, typing and impulse control

You can deal with Bugs Bunny, I’m sure.

I asked about Obama because you suggested there might not be anyone “better [than Clinton] with the policy chops, personal history, and sheer grit to get that done.”

With a charge to repair our national security. That would be a huge laugh to those Freedom Caucus jackoffs. Gotcher private server right here, beotches!

Perhaps you’re blind to Bugs’s virtues, in which case you have my sympathies. Obama wouldn’t offer.
