For me, a lot is about being electable, and I don't think she or Bernie Sanders are.

But people acting like Democrats, especially progressives, wanting an option B is some sort of new thing shows either a real lack of knowledge of history, or someone trying to fit a narrative to their great thesis about what goes on here. And just because someone says they are not interested in running has never stopped anyone from hoping and pushing before.

As far as I'm concerned, Clinton isn't all that electable. HappyMe Nov 2013 #12

For better or for worse, running is encoded into the Clinton DNA. I would be shocked if she didn't. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #13

I don't know. To me, the ability to fling an insult, HappyMe Nov 2013 #14

If Bill's recent potshot at the ACA and Obama is the sort of "triangulation" we can expect from Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #15

I honestly wish she wouldn't. RiffRandell Nov 2013 #16

But Bill Clinton would have easily been re-elected if he could have run again ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #17
