Democrats are leaving Hillary Clinton behind

[NYP] These are heady days for Democrats. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is flexing her power in the House, state legislatures are sweeping away abortion boundaries and each day brings a new entry into the 2020 presidential sweepstakes.

Far-left newcomers demand massive tax hikes on the wealthy, free health care for all and an end to fossil fuels. Some are even attacking America’s Judeo-Christian heritage.

Yet perhaps the single biggest development of recent days barely made news: Hillary Clinton’s political career is over, kaput, finished.

"She’s not running for president," John Podesta, the chairman of her 2016 campaign, told CNN. He dismissed an earlier report that she was considering a run as "media catnip," adding for emphasis: "I take her at her word. She’s not running for president."

Now, taking Clinton at her word is the definition of dicey, but this time is different because it’s not as if she has much choice. Clinton quit the 2020 race before she was fired.

#3 Obviously she became far too centrist.

#4 That attitude will change after a few suicides.

#5 She's been awfully withdrawn of late. Perhaps she has found the Deep State offer of....

continuing to iggy the Foundation and email irregularities if she agrees to coach seating.

...agreement to her liking.

#6 We'll see. If the current crop of far leftist idiots self immolates, then we will see Hillary's bloated and twitching corpse dragged out again as the appointed queen and savior of the demoncrats.

#7 Hillary does know how to garner a buck or two but I think she's a political goner. There are still many who want to "lock her up"--maybe even some Dems.

#8 If she's disappeared it's because she's deciding if she'd rather run again or put everything behind Chelsea when the time comes.

#9 Bernie got some real traction in 2016 and, if it hadn't been for Hillary and the DNC's shenanigans, he might have been the nominee. Could be that after all the bullcrap they've heard in school and on the TV, the rank and file is ready for an outright commie.

#10 IMO, not that easy.

#11 Damn! I initially read that as: "Democrats are leaving Hillary Clinton's behind", and nearly threw up

#12 It would be interesting to see Bernie debate Trump. I think we could see Trump crush him and the left still declare victory because Bernie made them feel warm and fuzzy.

“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.”

#14 the debates should be fascinating as the candidates try to out left each other

the convention should be even more interesting, perhaps they'll invite Colin Kaepernick to take the first knee, then have a ceremonial live late term abortion and finish by singing 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'
