THE HILLARY CLINTON WATCH:

Robby Mook does not rule out another run for her:

She is also commenting on Iran. 

STAND WITH HILLARY!!

Give it a rest.

Oh, there is no question he wants to.

I think he ends up being Biden’s VP.

Fox Business talks about "rumors" that Romney may run for prez again in 2020:

Romney needs to hang it up.  There's something sort of off-putting about how hard he's trying.  Especially since it doesn't seem like he's doing it for ego-related reasons.  Someone who wants power so bad that they'll spend 26 years trying to attain it (his failed 1994 Senate run through the 2020 presidential election) is somewhat disconcerting.

Although, I do think Romney would do a pretty darn good job.

Hillary is going to run:

No she is not. She has said as much and donors are already looking in other directions at this point. The woman is done. Though I know you'd like her to be running because she is the reddest of the red meat for the Republican base.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

This statement is factual. Your personal hate/dislike of her will not negate this.

I will not believe yet she is not running.  I remember “‘Tricky Dick’”. Saying the press would not have him
to kick him around anymore.  She is every bit as tricky.

Hillary always gained her importance by her connections to Bill.  If she had been on her own. She would never have gained any any recognition.  She certainly would not been elected a Senator from New York or never been a candidate for President.

I disagree. She wouldn't have had the same pull certainly, having a politician has a spouse helps your political moves especially when they're president ESPECIALLY when it's Bill Clinton. Hillary IMO would've been able to become prominent without Bill.

Well not in Arkansas.  She was a reason Bill lost re-election as Governor In 1980.  If you knew what she looked like you would be rattled.  She would never have seen the light of day in Illinois or New York in her own stead.  There would have been too many other politiiians to contest with her.

She was the reason he lost in 1980? Not the National Republican Title Wave? Not Carter's decision to send Mariel boatlift refugees in large numbers to Arkansas? Not his decision to raise vehicle registration tag fees?

And just curious, did Clinton do some sort of fake divorce when the voters Handley returned into office in 1982 followed by overwhelming reelection in 84, 86, and 1990?

You should have seen what she look like? Really?? That's a really stupid and sexist thing to say. Don't believe me? Did Barbara Bush looking like as Robin Williams famously joke George Washington on the one dollar bill ever stop you from voting for her husband or son? Did Nancy Reagan's looks as a septuagenarian keep you from voting for Reagan?

Frankly, if you want to play that game, take a look at it Hillary in 1992 before she cut her hair, though that may be only my personal taste for long hair. She was in my humble opinion better looking then any first lady since Jackie Kennedy at minimum, and arguably, again in my opinion, even more beautiful than her. Sorry dude, but I just looked online for some images of Hillary is first lady of Arkansas in the 80s, and even if a first ladies physical appearance truly mattered with a damn, your state had nothing whatsoever to complain about frankly.

If you're going to be sexist, at least try not to be such an easily rebuttable idiot about it.

[Badger]

This thread is getting sort of of odd.

Yes. Some git keeps going on ad infinitum about Hillary running for president again without an ounce of actual evidence indicating that's true, but does so with such vehemence and repetitiveness one wonders if he's recently suffered a stroke or something.

Odd indeed.

I’m very bullish on the Dems picking a moderate Rep as VP. Most likely Kasich, depends who is the top of the ticket. Biden is someone I could see “bridging the divide” and “uniting the country”.

John Kasich is not a moderate.

And the Dems picking a Republican as the VP will only keep Democrats home. We don't want to vote for that crap.

[Mr. Morden]

A policy advisor at a think tank funded by Steyer bought up web domains for a Steyer political run for various offices, but then relinquished them when Yahoo asked him about them:

I don’t like people who vote for team blue or team red, I hope those voters stay home.

So it's a problem that I or anyone else does not want someone on the ticket who we don't agree with on ANYTHING politically? Kasich is against everything I stand for. That sounds ridiculous.

Is there seriously a chance that Tom Steyer is announcing his 2020 candidacy on Monday?

What would the implications be of that? Would others jump in too? Would campaign season officially begin - at least, for people not participating in the midterms?

lol no. Nobody would care, except to the extent he becomes a punchline like Delaney.

Answering your questions in order:
1. I don't know.
2. There would be none.
3. Not at any different rate than they would already.
4. No.

[Mr. Morden]

Weirdly enough, Warren, who a couple of years ago showed absolutely no interest in foreign policy, is one of the only 2020 Dems to make a comment on the Iran protests:

The rest of them are largely ignoring the protests.
