Would look forward to the possibility to see such a competent ad knowledgeable president, but would be definitely quite worried at the idea she might lose again.

This sums up my thoughts exactly.

Well with today’s explosive summit disaster news, perhaps it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that she decides to run again to vindicate herself. If more comes out regarding intelligence it could get interesting.

She would campaign heavily again in FL/AZ and lose NV and NH for a narrow loss and perhaps WI

I think her slogan should be Make America Great Again.

Let’s be honest, she’d probably win the GE if she was the nominee and then everyone would act like it was inevitable and they’d seen it coming all along.

I love how one of the lesson of 2016 was to never write off as a candidate as unelectable and always be cautious and not overly confidennt and then, everyone just assumes that Hillary would be completly unelectable and would lose by double digits against Trump.

Unsurprised.  Dems don't seem to be making the right changes after '16, and Clinton is certainly self-entitled enough to run again.

If for some reason she was able to win the nomination, that would mean things had shifted significantly in her favor. So I would be thrilled. However, if she emerged from a brokered convention as the nominee I would be incredibly worried

Self-entitled? She has as much a right to run as everybody else. It is not like she is forcing people to vote for her.

Bill Clinton is Leader of the Democratic party and knows his wife won't win.

Especially when she won 3 million more votes than her opponent and only barely lost the three decisive states.

It's almost as dumb as saying in 2004 "Al Gore stands NO chance, he'll lose Florida by 300 votes again, Safe R!" But of course that was never said because Al Gore is a male.

Hillary got ethical issues all along, with AL Gore, who carried the Bill Clinton Lewinsky drama

I really like Hillary, but I'm definitely in the minority on that one.

That's a fair enough point but there is indeed a double standard that would probably still translate once more in another Trump vs. Clinton match-up. I'm not saying it's right, just that it's a gamble on the part of the Democratic Party to nominate her again.

Well she's welcome to try, but if she's that desperate to redeem herself, she's going to be bitterly disappointed. Here are the many reasons why, firstly the Clinton name doesn't have the same cache it once enjoyed, also she ran a lousy campaign in 2016, losing what should have been a slam dunk. Also there is a crowded primary field, the establishment won't be in the tank for her as it was in 2016, also the base just didn't respond to her in the way it did for Obama, his campaigning did diddly squat in that department & then there is Trump, despite all the dumb stuff, the tweets, even the disaster of the Helsinki summit, nothing can 'trump' a good economy or the cache of incumbency, Also if Hillary is incapable of learning anything from her last go around with the Donald, his methods are scorched earth & using vulnerabilities to undermine anyone who is on his radar, he will relitigate the email server issue, her husband's more sordid background, all the negative baggage that the Clinton's have hanging around them, Trump would literally trash Hillary & shred whatever positives the Clinton might still enjoy. The question that she needs to ask, is she willing to endure the 'the fires of hell' to 'redeem' herself? None of us can answer that question, only Hillary Clinton can. If anything Hillary will not likely make a final decision until after the mid terms, her story would get lost in the coming election cycle. So I am guessing sometime after Thanksgiving, and she will make an announcement early in the New year either way.  She should make sure Bobby Mook is no where in shouting distance of anything she has planned for 2020, if she does has him. Means she has learned nothing significant from her 2016 experience.

I wouldn't mind ... although she will not run- and I'm sure most Dems would go berserk.
