Hillary lets the NY Times know that she didn’t really mean it when she said she wasn’t going to run for president

Thomas Lifson  "A day after telling a local New York television station, News 12 Westchester, “"I'm not running, but I'm going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe," Hillary Clinton seems to have had second thoughts. Someone (my guess is Hillary herself) told New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman that she didn’t really mean it:" . . .
"Watch her statement on camera and decide for yourself if “she wasn’t trying to be emphatic”:"



. . . "My guess is that she was a bit surprised and upset at the speed with which sighs of relief were heard from most Democrats – not just the contenders for the nomination, but across the board, including the rank and file. She is rightly afraid that she is now relegated to has-been status, someone who can be ignored. The comment on John Kerry reveals the jealousy and fear she feels that other Democrats may eclipse her in prominence, influence, and the ability to command speaker’s fees and raise money.

"This is a woman who, after all, has lusted after power her entire adult life, ever since studying Sail Alinsky and taking on the role of agitator, and then discarding it for power-wielder instead." . . .
Donkey Hotey
Vice President Hillary Clinton?  . . . "Since HRC has covertly managed to position herself as the bread and butter of the DNC, it is unlikely that any 2020 Democratic presidential candidate would refuse her if she made the request to be a running mate.  I am predicting that is exactly what she has done or will do.


"If, and it’s a big if, the campaign is successful, Clinton would still get her coveted title as “First Female,” in this case first female Vice President.  She would also be first in line for the seat of President if anything unfortunate happened theoretically to the Democratic President.  Certainly, she does have a history filled of unfortunate happenings to people in her inner circle." . . .
Will history compare Clinton with British Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher as much as I do?
