Former First Lady Hillary Clinton made a comment at an event in New York City which seems to confirm her intentions for 2020 – she’s running for President.
The two-time failed presidential candidate flip-flopped swiftly in the span of minutes – an effort that would make John Kerry proud – saying she would not run, admitting she’d like to, and then claiming she won’t decide until after the midterms.
Let’s put the controversy to bed right now for our readers.
She’s running.
She made the comments at a live taping of Recode Decode at New York City’s 92nd Street YMCA.

Hillary said no
Initially, the moderator at a Q&A session proposed talking about her future plans in 2020 before asking, “Do you want to run again?”
Clinton responded “no,” prompting a slew of moans from her fans and a temporary sigh of relief from the rest of America.
Hillary said yes
Hillary, being completely incapable of saying anything other than what she thinks people want her to say, immediately backtracked and made a confession.
“Well, I – well, I’d like to be president,” she said as the adoring crowd cheered. She then pivoted to talking about aspirations of a generic ‘Democrat’ president after the election in 2020.
“Look, I think, hopefully, when we have a Democrat in the Oval Office in January of 2021, there’s going to be so much work to be done.”
Clinton clearly thinks that Democrat should be herself.
After announcing she would not run, then admitting she will, Clinton followed up with an announcement that she’ll think about it after the ‘blue wave’ rolls through in 2018.
“I’m not even going to think about it until we get through this November 6th election about what’s going to happen after that,” she said.
I missed this amid all the other news – @HillaryClinton tells @karaswisher she’ll think about 2020 after the midterms…. ‘I’d like to be president’ – will decide on run after midterm election https://t.co/sMaALM7Met

Clinton then laid out her credentials for getting back in the White House.
“So the work would be work that I feel very well prepared for, having been in the Senate for eight years, having been a diplomat in the State Department, and it’s just gonna be a lot of heavy lifting.”
Aside from the obvious fact that she’s thinking about it when she makes such statements as “I’d like to be President,” there have been numerous other signs that Hillary will make another embarrassing reach for the highest office in the land.
Philippe Reines, a former top aide to Hillary Clinton, has already made the assertion that Hillary could be the Democrat Party’s best hope to defeat Trump in 2020. If that is the case, the resistance party is in horrible shape.
“It’s somewhere between highly unlikely and zero,” he said of her chances of running, “but it’s not zero.”
Clinton has also been prying her face back into the public consciousness, embarking on a national speaking tour with Bill.
Trump’s gives the best response to Hillary’s comments
I was recently asked if Crooked Hillary Clinton is going to run in 2020? My answer was, “I hope so!”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2017
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had the perfect response to news that Hillary might run again in 2020.
“Christmas coming early this year?” she asked.
Please, Please, Please run Killary…..and choose Nancy Pelosi for your running mate….
The Democrats have so many minority groups with agendas, demanding a crack at the White House, how will a wealthy white elite stand a chance of nomination ? Where will they find a black, Muslim transgender identifying as a woman, with physical rather than mental disabilities , their ideal representative ?.
Would someone give me a list of her credentials?
1. selling 20% of our uranium resources to Russia
2. Lying to the American People abut Benghazi
3. Causing the Death of American personnel in Benghazi
4. Keeping classified material on a private, insecure server.
5. Hid Whitewater documents in her bedroom at the White House when First Lady
6. And a list a mile long of misdeeds.
look at her… has anybody verified she’s actually alive… that sure as hell looks like a mortician’s paint job…
Lad 347, The Dems. are going to have trouble giving Hilary a clean bill of health. Various medical practitioners have posted videos to substantiate their diagnosis of advanced Parkinson’s Disease. Genuine medics, not the amateur kooks who called the POTUS’ mental health into question. Unless they believe the sympathy vote will swing it, and the VP will be the real primary candidate.
The Democrats allow people to Disrespect our flag, our woman’s bathrooms, allow illegals and so called safe city’s for illegals, Enable to buy votes support violence with threats or counter protests invoking violence where people get hurt or killed then have the audacity to blame Republicans. I can go on and on!
The Democrats also LIE! Please, Someone needs to STEP UP! Why don’t you people EXPOSE the lie’s that the Democrats tell? What about the facts! They were in power with some Professional Scammers who refused to complete or apply measures to fix our country’s unemployed, illegal citizenship, corruption, robbing our Social Security Coffers, causing divide and hate in America! The world does not revolve around the Democratic Party or the Republican Party! The real and true divide is the Party’s that don’t communicate, It revolves around the American People not them and their childish antics! Their not suppose to enable the able or even enable more welfare and less jobs! Why is it that President Trump slapped common sense into our country bring back jobs and security but we still allow and or support lie’s and fake stories on the Networks etc without retribution. Why is it Republicans refuse to indite and expose the Professional Politicians once and for all? Why doesn’t our elected officials work with a President that is doing the job he or she was voted in to do the job. Why is people like Bloomberg one of the RICHEST MEN IN THE WORLD PROFITING on our IGNORANCE thinking that he and the Democrats really care about us, NOT, How about lining their own POCKET BOOKS! Allowed to say false things about President Trump and the Republican Party without Proof or facts etc and not be held accountable or challenged?
Like Obama’s Health care, Some people got it cheap, other people were put in the poor house because they could not afford it. If you want a great health care plan make it fair and affordable for all! Make people accountable for their lie’s and false statements, that is not free speech when it harms others no difference then pointing a weapon at someone, it is wrong unless it is a matter of life and death! Well our future is a matter of life and death!
Dreamers did not build this country, Americans did! The Media is not the Truth Meter, Our Courts are! Yes, we have to unite, but not enable! I don’t want men in girls bath rooms sex change or not, Illegal Aliens are not entitled to our Social Security or other programs because they did not help fund it, Scammers and gang banger’s that abuse our system should not be allowed to abuse our social system or expanding Medicaid to buy votes with Tax-Payer Moneys either. Professional Welfare and food stamp abusers need to be investigated and locked up, not enabled for votes. Properly support America, our system of programs or lose your right to our social service’s and your right to vote.
Research and you will see we are played daily by these professional politicians, President Trump is exposing them for who the are. Vote Responsibly, Vote to make America Strong for us, don’t enable for them and don’t support a Party, Support the Person who supports America and our true values! Our Grand-Children and Great Grand-Children’s Future depends on it!
My mother at 93 looked better than hillary does now.
Hillary should be in prison, not out running her mouth or thinking about running for president. she is a criminal who has got away with all kinds of crimes, so the only ones to me who would back her would also be criminals.
How can this hopeless harridan be serious? The Clintons are like herpes – they’re with us for life. Oog!
Yes we will wait until after the Midterms to see how the election turns out. If they win either senate or house then throw in hat! Will it be Hillary and Bidden? That would be pair to draw too. Queer Hillary and Chester Joe the Molester!
Hillary for President? Ha ha, you go girl. Hannibal Hillary and Creepy Joe….what a combo they’d make for 2020.
To Olivia, stay home Tuesday. Do not vot.
OMG please do the American people a favor and do not run Hillary! Personally could not stand hearing her lies all over again. But as the saying goes third time a charm. Maybe it would kill her to run again. after all she does have trouble staying on her feet. Seems to slip and fall al lot. Oh on second thought do run again hillary, it may kill you!!
I do not think someone in jail is allowed to run for office.
If she runs again then we’ll know for sure the democrats don’t have a complete brain cell between them. There was good reason she conceded before all the votes were counted. She knew she was soundly whooped and there’s a lot more people now who the left have disillusioned with their own crazy actions that got worse as we have gotten closer to the midterms. They’re out of their minds if they think the people who walked away will put her in office over a second term for Trump. Unfortunately for them the caravan they were counting on isn’t happening anymore. Several decided to accept Mexico’s offer of asylum and jobs, several are going back home and some are heading for TX and Tijuana but even those crowds are breaking apart now. They didn’t believe Trump would really send the military to the border and he proved them wrong. With most staying put or turning back the left is losing the “new voter base” they were counting on.
The only way I’d ever vote for that hag would be if I were dead. God, please let me outlive her!!!
hope you don’t die any time soon, the democrats usually have a lot of dead people who vote for them. LOL, not sure if they would have voted for them when they were alive.
I really, really wish PI would get off this about HRC running in 2020! She cannot run w/o the party nomination and, as dumb as the dems are, I don’t think they are quite that clueless. They know that Hillary cannot win. Unless there are $$ involved, HRC is not going to be running. EVER.
She may not get the party nomination, but that doesn’t mean her EGO would allow her to pass on the opportunity to try again. After all, it’s supposed to be her turn!
OH DEAR GOD, YES!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!! LET HER RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN!!! I WILL SEND HER A CHECK NOW IF SHE DOES. THAT WILL GUARANTEE A CMAG (CONTINUE MAKING AMERICA GREAT) TRUMP 2020 LANDSLIDE LIKE WE’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!
The work of democrats when Obama was President was to make sure there was more government and less work for Americans, is that what she meant?
Despite the fact there are more jobs and better wages now for women, blacks and Latinos than ever before it is as if democrats want us to believe their special interest groups resent the idea they may be expected to work.
Sure Hillary,,, Just like I’m planning on being emperor of the universe.
Hey lady,,,, Have you taken a senility exam lately?
Cause it sounds like you just might have some kind of hemorrhoid growing out your brain.
You know,,,, The one your sitting on!
She doesn’t know what America stands for? Where America stands on anything? Talk about being clueless.
I’m teetering on whether to vote Dem or stay home next week. Hearing Clinton might run again in 2020 is one more notch on the stay home column as Dems are not learning why we didn’t vote for her the first time.
