Chelsea Clinton can’t let her family’s political dynasty end

There will be a politically leftist woman named Clinton in the highest reaches of government, Democratic wags are roaring. Just not the one we all might have expected.

It’s Chelsea’s turn.

“She’ll make a move sooner rather than later,” a heavy hitter in New York state Democratic politics assures me. “What a great way to avenge her mother.”

In the age of The Donald, Chelsea’s lack of a law degree or political experience could propel her all the way to the White House, the thinking goes.

How does her lack of intelligence or personality factor in?

Considerable blame for Donald Trump's shocking victory has been directed at the Democratic party establishment and the Clintons, but it seems the takeaway from Tuesday is not that Americans are tired of the Clintons, but that they secretly want more. Chelsea Clinton is reportedly being groomed for a run for Congress.

The NY Post reports that plans are being made for Chelsea Clinton to run for the seat that 28-year House veteran Nita Lowey currently holds, after Lowey retires. While Lowey hasn't announced any plans to retire, it hasn't stopped speculation among New York Democrats that she might do so soon, and fueled further idiotic speculation that extending "the Clinton brand" with a Chelsea candidacy is a good idea. Maybe this is just the Post having a little fun trolling sad liberals three days after the election, but it also feels way too likely to be true.

A source who spoke to the Post suggested there were a couple factors working in favor of a Chelsea Clinton for Congress campaign. Her poise while campaigning for her mother during her (disastrous, losing) campaign for president, coupled with her front and center role at the (compromised) Clinton Foundation have Democratic insiders ready to believe that she could build a base and raise money, instead of raising contemptuous laughter and building existential dread.

We reached out to Representative Lowey's office for comment and will update this story if we hear back.

Raising money is the most important qualification for running for office/s.

Big advantages in Dimocrap candidates and she is most excellent at raising money/influence peddling from her "work" at the Crime Foundation.

This is likely being pushed by a bunch of bitter old feminists who won't accept that the person with whom they personally identified got rejected by the voters.  Supporting her spawn is now the only way to continue the fight for personal validation via politics.

Nita Lowey, the politician Chelsea is being pushed to replace, has her position for life if she so chooses.

I have no doubts that Chelsea would win her seat should she choose to ran. Trump was crushed 515,000 to 59,000 in Manhattan.

Hillary had a total of 318,403 votes in the Bronx in comparison to Trump’s votes of 34,424.

Other than in Staten Island, there is NO WAY a Republican wins any Presidential or Congressional election.

She ought to be indicted for her involvement in the Clinton Foundation racketeering.
