etalian: Mar 20, 2006

After her very sad upset in November, Hillary says she will no longer seek political office and instead will focus on private charity efforts such as Bilderberg meetings & dem downticket races.

Her new slogan for this effort will be Make Wonks Great Again

quote:

Hillary Clinton said she doesn�t intend to run for elected office again, but vowed to remain involved in public service and to help Democrats regain control of Congress in the 2018 election.

In her first postelection interview, Clinton alluded to the pain of her loss of the presidency to Donald Trump, hinting that there were times she didn�t want to get out of bed.

�The aftermath of the election was so devastating,� Clinton said Thursday during the Women in the World Summit hosted by Tina Brown at New York�s Lincoln Center. �I had to make up my mind I was going to get out of bed, yes; I was going to take walks in the woods, yes.

�As a person, I�m OK. As an American, I�m pretty worried," said Clinton.

It's also tough to finish the race when you lose a shoe.

There's her missed shot. She'd have won then. Bill was still relatively well thought of. Bush was very much unlikable. Neoliberalism wasn't toxic quite yet. She could have campaigned on Healthcare, winding down the war in Iraq...all that stuff.

Kerry was a sitting duck. I don't understand how that guy got nominated.

Similar to what we were all saying about Trump's political career when we thought it wouldn't live past November 2016, someone will figure out how to do the good Hillary Clinton parts without the shortcomings and be really effective. We will, and should, have a female President eventually.

Hillary herself needs to be exiled to St. Helena or something. Give her an honorable discharge from politics and just let her live out her days in comfortable isolation.

That primary was the first political activity I paid any attention to but I don't remember her being involved in it at all. Was she?

Amy Poehler playing her had it as a running joke in 03-04

quote:

Chris Matthews: I haven't seen someone lose this much support since Pamela Anderson broke a bra strap. Hillary Clinotn, you're not officially in this race, but many people believe that if you declared right now, you'd be the democratic front-runner. Are you in or out?

Hillary Clinton: Chris, I don't know how many times I have to say this, I am absolutely, positively, beyond a shadow of a doubt, not running for president probably.

Chris Matthews: So you're running?

Hillary Clinton: Definitely not. Maybe

Chris Matthews: So there's a chance?

Hillary Clinton: Chris, for the last time, no, no, no, no, n...maybe, no.

Hillary Clinton: Well Chris, I'm simply not going to run. I mean, I suppose it's possible that I could swoop in at the democratic convention and make a huge splash announcing my candidacy. And it's conceivable that I have already assembled an all-star shadow cabinet, consisting of John McCain, Tom Hanks, Rudy Giuliani, Bruce Springsteen, and Tiger Woods. But it's simply not gonna happen. [Winks at the camera]

The vibe at the time I can recall (even though I was like...14-15ish) was one of "Please god run. You can beat this rear end in a top hat and get us out of this national nightmare".

e: There was a sketch saying exactly that and mentioning how AWFUL Kerry was a front runner too IIRC.

The OG Bernie. Though at the time it was thought that Howard Dean was also in that mold to an extent. He'd have CRUSHED Bush in the debates IMO.

Kucinich was a perpetual uncharismatic loser and I had the distinct misfortune of attending one of his "rallies" which barely filled up half a cafeteria

He wasn't a proto Bernie, he was one in a long list of forgettable liberals who just existed to annoy people at presidential debates
