Hillary confidant won’t rule out her jumping into 2020 race
Phillip Reines: “No, she has not” foreclosed the possibility.
Phillip Reines is as close to Hillary Clinton as they get. He served as the stand-in for Trump during Hillary’s 2016 debate preparation.
There are numerous mainstream media articles about Democrat establishment frustration with the current field, and plenty of speculation that Hillary is seriously considering getting into the race. That speculation comes from Hillary’s increasingly open and combatative public statements and appearances.
So when Reines appeared on Tucker Carlson tonight, it would have been the perfect moment for a Clintonworld operative to rule out Hillary running again. But he didn’t do that.
Here’s the video clip. Watch the whole thing.

If Hillary! did decide to run, I don’t see how Democrats could deny Her the nomination. Haven’t they spent the last three years assuring us that She is the real President who had Her rightful place stolen by the Russians? Wouldn’t that make Democrats Putin’s and Trump’s puppets if they nominate someone else?
This could be quite entertaining. Run Hillary Run!
It would be very funny to see repeat the loser tantrum.
The Harpy Hag is just itching to be a three time looser.
Mitt Romney is furiously creating 15,000 new Twitter accounts to support this move.
I believe that’s the internets winner for Oct 23
Is she running as obama’s third term again? Because compared to President Donald J. Trump’s first term, her campaign is going to be an utter disaster. Why did obama need to mansplain’ presidenting to hillary anyway?
I had the perfect opportunity a little while ago to rule out the sun coming up in the morning. So what if I had ruled it out?
She’s been running. It’s just that nobody’s noticed until she started attacking all of her Russian backed enemies – Trump, Gabbard, Stein, Bill, ……
Americans have foreclosed any prospect of the hideous witch ever inserting herself before a vast conspiracy of despicable right wing strangers.
Seeing Hillary lose was one of the cherished moments of political hubris.
Time to trot out the old war horse when it’s time to storm the fort.
Testing the waters, that’s for sure.
Good thing I saved all my great #NeverHillary memes from 2016! Recycling is something Democrats appreciate.
She’s going to go down in flames for the third time. How can she live with herself that way?
Easy. The Clintons are modern day snake oil salesmen. Total hucksters.
People love paying the Clintons to breath their air. Thru 2016, the Clintons had fleeced the gullible public for $153 million in speaking fees.

I believe the number of books she’s written is now up to seven.
It’s been reported that Simon And Schuster paid Hillary a $14 million advance to write “Hard Choices” in 2014 – which was nothing more than an advertisement to promote her campaign.
She’ll be able to write at least one more book for probably $25 million if she runs and loses. And produce a faux-documentary about the experience to air on Netflix, where Obama is now raking in millions, or HBO – who pays the execreble and always grotesque Frank Rich.
And if she manages to beat Trump the sky is the limit.
boy, it would be terrible if she did win. after her time in the WH she would be expected to write her memoir. the problem would be, after her time in the WH, nobody would have any money left to but it.
Keeping in mind that the Democrat nomination process is far more immune to the desires of Democrats, and in fact is akin to the meetings of the Politburo in the FSU to determine the leader. The Superdelegates will act as a way to control the peasantry who believe that they are choosing a candidate. I do not know if it will be Hillary, Michelle, or who; other than it must be someone both of a politically correct background and who must support the violence committed by the Left in the streets.
Subotai Bahadur
don’t think Biden will give it up this time, I’m sure her minions will take care of that
I think her plan all along has been to win a brokered convention, then ballot stuff her way to victory in the general. She’s certainly got enough clout to pull off the brokered convention part, esp since she has dirt on everyone.
As for the ballot stuffing, we’d do well to take that seriously. Just remember, she can’t win fairly, but she can win. *Shudder*
She should be about as popular as Harris – I think she should run.
by jove, you’ve done it! a joint ticket. harris and clinton or clinton and harris. they would serve (rule) as true co-presidents.
the birds would sing. the sun would shine. the harps would play.
and peace and prosperity would break out all the world over.
well, at least until the catfight started. it is settled science that two women can’t last 5 minutes in the same room together!
The only thing she waiting on is the crowed lifting her on their shoulders and literally carrying her in teh WH Trump for not. Shes that delusional.
They’ll need a block and tackle for that.
Her diaper would leak on them
sorry paul i had to downvote you. that mental image was just too bad.
Hillary is most likely just trying to become more relevant in order to get the cash flowing again. She is obviously thinking about money because lLast week, she blamed her loss partly on the DNC being broke in 2016. Didn’t her campaign spend almost $2B? Plus all of the free MSM and Hollywood support?
The Democrats are going to lose in 2020 and for them to run Hillary again and lose is even worse than running Fauxcahontas or Sanders. It would be declaring that the Dems are hopelessly corrupted by dirty money that cannot be purged from the party. Trump is about to solve that problem on the Republican side.
Hillary Clinton’s candidacy is conditional upon being able to fix the election in advance.
Oh frabjous day! Hillary waddles in at the convention and secures the nomination. That’s the political equivalent of throwing a “meadow muffin” in the punch bowl. The Dims would have to drink the water, and I could, once more vote “Not Hillary”.
“Not Hillary”, or to be more precise, “Anyone but Hillary” is a big reason why Trump won in 2016. For her to be handed the 2020 nomination with any chance of winning, Trump would have to be very unpopular. But their Hillary plan of #resist is backfiring bigly so…
The Dems just might cram this down everyone’s throats but it would destroy the party on the way to a major defeat.
And yet…
If not Hillary, who? Biden was the most palatable to the Center, but even the Dems have dropped him like a hot rock. Bernie, even if he manages another year without a heart attack, is unelectable, I think. That leaves Warren as no one else has the cash or name recognition. However the needs of winning the base have pushed Warren so far left, that she will have trouble getting far enough back to the center (always pander to the base in the primaries and move centrist for the main is the conventional wisdom) to draw tax-paying voters. Further, her ‘likability’ numbers aren’t pretty low. Notice anyone sighing for Warren to become “The First Woman President”©️? It would also seem that Wall Street is not thrilled with her. Thus: Warren just doesn’t offer that something special that will move the undecided to her.
So, by comparison, Hillary is an Elder Statesman, and (God, please don’t strike me dead for saying this) the voice of reason. Someone who could do business with Wall Street, and someone who knows how to hit the Reset Button with Russia and China. They can afford to pay her off, and she’ll take the money.
My only question is, how long can she wait before throwing her fat, Er HAT, into the ring?
“but even the Dems have dropped him like a hot rock”
Have they? He still polls 1st or 2nd depending on which poll on which day you care to look.
Communist Chinese Bought Push Polls is what I always assume….
Yes, the polls fluctuate quite a lot depending on which time of day it is, and, really, I think we should have learned how much they’re actually worth the last time around.
Still, here’s one from today showing Joe running a distant fourth at 12 percent in Iowa, for what it’s worth.

However, I do believe that money talks and Biden’s fund raising is falling. His Q2 contributions fell roughly $6M from Q2: $21 M to $15M while both Warren and Saunders increased by roughly $6M to sit at $25 each. Even Buttigieg out who fell from Q2 $24M to $19M out-raised Joe’s $15M.

I doubt the dirty money thinks that way. Handing the nomination to Crooked Hillary would be yet more confirmation that the Dem primaries are rigged… after the issue has already been settled.
The Clintons gutted the Democratic Party. They built nothing but their own Clinton Family International Crime Syndicate. There is no mechanism in place for the party to nominate anyone viable. They need to purge and rebuild. They don’t have a Trump. Are fighting the voters but their lies aren’t working anymore. Trump seized the popular nationalist ring and delivered. Insurmountable hurdle for these warmongering commies to overcome.
Reines was complicit in the email scandal as well as the obstruction of justice. He should be prosecuted.
Would she survive the rigors of a campaign in 2020? The same can be asked of Biden.
“… jumping into 2020 race…”
More like stumbling into the race. Hillary is one Weeble that wobbles and DOES fall down.
Hillary’s problem is she doesn’t want another drawn out primary. It clearly took a toll on her physical health last time. But her end game might just be to prop up a 3+ way race all the way to the convention. If the field continues like it is, no candidate makes it to the convention with even 40%. They’ll all be beat up: Joe will look senile, Bernie will still be unelectable, and Warren will be a less interesting version of Hillary. So in the name of “Party Unity”, they turn around and nominate Hillary. No months of attack ads. No fundraising and spending. Sounds like the perfect plan in Hillary’s own mind.
Neither Moochie or Hillary has anything to lose running for prez. Loose so what. Both incred rich. Win either one surpasses Putin as richest person on earth.
Been saying it for years now.
As long as Dr. Feelgood can keep the venom flowing through her nasty
veins. Hillary will NOT allow any other women to break HER “glass ceiling”
Princess Buffalo Shit will soon be finding that out
Have Animatronics improved that much in 4 years?
Hillary should commended for a game well played. The current far left clown show raised lots of cash from the base that would never have been sent to her. She avoided having to stump and say looney left things that will hurt her in the general. Tulsi Gabbard is well placed to siphon millions of votes away from Trump by high minded dupes unaware they are being played.
But this latest outburst that Tulsi is a Russian plant Is such a brilliant diabolical move I have have to give her credit where credit is due. The Clinton pr machine can get their followers to suck up the Tulsi is Trump’s Russian bit@h just like they get them suck up the idea that Biden’s corruption is an impeachable offense for Trump or that Trump ending a war in Syria is BAD. Hillary knows her “liberal elites” fear being on the wrong side of cultural cool more than anything else in the world.
So 3rd Party Tulsi, calling Clinton “rot and warmonger” was brilliant as now Gabbard will not pull ANY votes in the general away from those who can be persuaded to vote for Clinton, and instead Gabbard will only pull votes from those who would not vote for Clinton anyway. The stoopid Bernie Brat types will not show up so they will just harvest their votes or vote for them. Gabbard will make sure enough Dems show up to get the needed dem seats in house and senate and dogcatcher.
It is a good plan and should not be underestimated.
Sorry, elle, but not a single Trump supporter will be “pulled away” by the commie Gabbard. None.

I called Tulsi as a candidate years ago. And I’m not wrong about this either. It’s an obvious play. Regardless of how ridiculous it may seem to you or me that Hillary is going to run again. And Tulsi is just a repeat play of Perot…though slightly different to meet changing needs.
What I wonder is if there is a rift between the Obama and Clinton camps. Tulsi is 100% Obama camp which to me seems more skewed more towards Muslim Brotherhood/Iranian influence etc. Clinton is an equal opportunity grifter, acceptable to almost all globalist players even those that hate each other. She is a known quantity and will be welcomed by ALL evil forces profiting billions off of corruption. She allows them to steal from us.
I don’t think Tulsi realizes she’s 3rd party a pawn. I think she believes she is the one we are now waiting for, but it is irrelevant either way. And I don’t know if Tulsi as 3rd party spoiler was always the big picture or if Clinton outsmarted those who thought they could once again push her aside. I sort of suspect it was the plan but I don’t know and it doesn’t matter.
But I can see that the plan is to do what the Clintons do best. All of the dem candidates were weak and could be easily eliminated by turning the media machine on them, allowing Clinton to ride in on a white horse as the best of the worst options. Those of you who don’t think the Clintons can turn it around so that their supporters will get in line to whatever the media machine tells them to think haven’t been paying attention.
Tulsi will pull millions of voters not paying attention and who want to virtue signal that they are purist free thinkers. The key is that the people who can not be convinced to vote for Hillary have an option to express their displeasure beside Trump or sitting it out. Now they can vote for Tulsi who can’t win because she alienated millions of Hillary supporters.
While Hillary may get ridiculed and trounced in the election, it’s pretty obvious this is the plan. She can’t win if she doesn’t run and she wants to win. I think she should not be underestimated in any way shape or form.
one last point. Everyone keeps looking at this through the prism of the fact that she is unpopular and even those who supported her before want her to go away.
That is not the right prism to look at this. What we learned from Bernie was that the Dem candidate is decided by the powerful players in smokey rooms and then PRESENTED to the voters. They despise the morons that adore and vote for them. They see them as marks.
They don’t care what the voters want or think. They are looking at it from the point of view of winning states like Idaho, Montana, Texas etc. And they have worked tirelessly to modify the populations of those states. The increased numbers of homeless and illegal aliens and dead make it possible for them to win in districts where they should not win.
Understand this. They don’t care what you think. It’s a chess game and we are pawns, not players.
here is another article I just read. This writer is wittingly or unwittingly helping Clinton by doing two things:
1. Making Tulsi attractive to progressives
2. Making Tulsi attractive to those who hate Clinton
The Clinton faithful will be fired up to show up and vote for Clinton against Tulsi. The Democrat House, Senate and Dogcatcher seats will get votes during the general.

Tulsi can’t win without the Progs and the Clinton faithful. It’s a no-brainer. So it’s all theater designed to make sure the people who won’t vote for Hillary don’t stay home or land with Trump. Well Done Hillary.
“”Someone who could do business with Wall Street””
Well you got that part right. There may not be another politician in the country as adept at extorting “contributions” to their favorite “charity” as Hillary,
“Jumping”?
Last time the old bag “ran” she could not walk or (most of the time), stand up.
Hell….she couldn’t even stop coughing.
Someone’s pulling our leg here.
