Lamest presidential field ever is giving Dems nightmares over a possible Hillary run
By Thomas Lifson
A possible Hillary Clinton run for president terrifies many Dems, but who else have they got?
So lame is their large field of Democrat contenders that Hillary and her aides are dropping hints that she might enter the race. She kicked off the budding movement herself, as John Fund reports:
…Hillary appeared on PBS in early October to remark that maybe there should be a “rematch†between her and Trump. “Obviously, I can beat him again,†she said.
Clinton’s throwaway line started a conversation among the many Democrats who are less than impressed with the current presidential field. Willie Brown, the former San Francisco mayor who greatly influenced Senator Kamala Harris’s early care14er, confessed that he was in a “depression over the current field of candidates.â€
He then brought up Hillary’s name. “It’s time for Hillary Clinton to come out of retirement, lace up the gloves, and get back in the ring with President Trump for what would be the biggest political rematch ever,†Brown wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle. He called Clinton “the only candidate short of Barack Obama who has the brains, the battle-tested brawn, and the national presence to take out Trump.†He failed to even mention Harris, who is currently mired in fifth place in most presidential surveys. (snip)
Both the New York Times and the Washington Post floated trial balloons for a Hillary comeback in the days after the Brown column. The Post said that Hillary feels “vindicated†by Trump’s current troubles. One source who has spoken to Clinton says she thinks about running for president “all the time†even though she acknowledges that the path to victory is steep.
