This isn’t the first of this….
It has come up again and again….
It most likely is NOT a good idea….
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday declined to rule out launching a future presidential campaign after her two failed bids, saying “many, many, many people” were pressuring her to enter the race.
“I, as I say, never, never, never say never,” the former secretary of State said on BBC Radio 5 Live. “I will certainly tell you, I’m under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it.”
“But as of this moment, sitting here in this studio talking to you, that is absolutely not in my plans,” Clinton added.
Whereas in previous election cycles the field narrowed as the primaries approached, 2020 is different: Democrats continue to join, indicating an unsettled and broadening race less than three months before the Iowa caucuses and as polls reflect shifting support for top-tier candidates.
Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York, filed for the Alabama primary a day before the deadline last week — possibly in preparation for a full-blown presidential bid. Former Gov. Deval Patrick Massachusetts has expressed interest in announcing his candidacy as early as this week.
Could Clinton be next?
Reporters have doggedly asked Clinton that question on nearly every media appearance she’s made promoting a book, “The Book of Gutsy Women,” which she wrote with her daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
She has alluded to the possibility multiple times, including in a Twitter exchange in which she quipped back at President Donald Trump, who had urged “Crooked Hillary” to enter the race to edge out “Uber Left” Elizabeth Warren.
“Don’t tempt me,” she responded. “Do your job.”….

Breaking:
Deval Patrick is telling allies he is “in.”
Is he actually going to try to compete in NH? It’s funny, just a few days ago, Elizabeth Warren was praising him to the hilt and saying she would definitely have him in her Cabinet. I wonder if that was her publicly trying to get him not to do this.
The big question to me is if he has actually spoken recently with Obama and if Obama perhaps encouraged him to run. I am sure journalists will do their job (except for the unbelievably disgraced ones at Northwestern University… but that’s another story)
So, Massachusetts pols Warren, Patrick, and Weld are all in the sweepstakes, but Moulton is out.
Clearly, this will mean that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will somehow be the one taking the oath of office in January…
Oh, and Bloomberg of course grew up in MA.
Somebody needs to begin a steak-out outside Michael Dukakis’s home. He’s probably got the itch..
Ha! Mitt knows he wouldn’t even be allowed on the GOP ballot–much less win his party’s nomination and be elected President.
