Dont Let Hillary Clinton Do It Again

Bribe her, distract her, trip her if yous have to, but don't let Hillary Clinton run for president again

Her longtime adviser now says she'll run again in 2020, a prospect which must have Donald Trump quivering with anticipation, writes Vinay Menon.

If the and then-called Hollywood resistance truly wants to dethrone Donald Trump in 2020, it should now lavish Hillary Clinton with lucrative development deals, publishing contracts, Television shows, picture show roles, standup gigs — annihilation that will go on her safely away from another presidential run.

Requite her a belatedly-night talk testify. Give her Netflix specials. Give her a picture show-of-the-week, every week, until the side by side U.S. election is over. Requite her a pop-cultural platform with the WWE or Marvel or Hallmark: "Rowdy Rodham To Headline Washington Smackdown." "Hillary Clinton is ... Helm America'due south Mom." "Special Edition HRC Condolence Cards, Perfect For Anyone Who Botched A Certain Thing."

Practice whatever it takes to distract her from public function.

You ever read something where, immediately later, you feel compelled to call a scientist at the Purple Observatory in Greenwich, only to make sure you lot haven't tumbled through a crack in the infinite-time continuum? You always contemplate a prospect so frozen in a hellish loop it makes you feel like yous're in Groundhog Day, only instead of Bill Murray and Andie McDowell, all you come across is Beak and Hillary Clinton cackling from a porch swing in Chappaqua, vowing to regain ability?

You ever call up: No, just no?

That'south how I felt subsequently reading an op-ed in Sun's Wall Street Journal.

Written past Mark Penn, a senior adviser to the Clintons from 1995 to 2008, and Andrew Stein, a former Autonomous Manhattan civic president, the headline sounded like a threat: "Hillary Will Run Again."

That'due south like saying, "The Hurricane Is Returning" or "Ebola Cure Didn't Work."

Information technology carries the staccato promise of disaster squared.

Opening WSJ paragraph: "Go ready for Hillary Clinton 4.0. More than thirty years in the making, this new version of Mrs. Clinton, when she runs for president in 2020, volition come up full circle — back to the universal-health-intendance-promoting progressive firebrand of 1994. Truthful to her name, Mrs. Clinton will fight this out until the last dog dies. She won't allow a petty thing like two stunning defeats stand up in the way of her merits to the White House."

Hillary Clinton 4.0? Hillary Clinton 3.0 is where this buggy product should've been discontinued. Whatsoever upgrade two years from now won't change the operating system — it will simply crash the Autonomous Party with a virus of hubris and entitlement.

No offence, but losing an election to Donald Trump is like getting beat by a grand piano at a swim run into. All Clinton had to do was float and freestyle. Move her limbs. Make a splash. Instead, she got tangled up in her pantsuit and banged her head on the diving lath and now she wants back in the water once more?

Would you give matches to someone who burned downwards your firm twice?

Look, I'm not a Hillary Hater. I'm Hillary Neutral. I actually feel lamentable for her. Equally Dave Chappelle once observed of the 2022 election, "Somehow, she just missed the douse." That must sting. And it's possible the hurt volition never fade.

But if we're going to exist honest and embrace Hillary Realism, it's clear she doesn't deserve a third presidential run anymore than Lou Dobbs should lead the United nations.

She had 2 chances and blew them both, in spite of odds stacked in her favour.

That's more than plenty, especially if you're on her political side.

Say what you will near Trump, but at least he connected with his voters in a visceral mode. To look at the faces at any Trump rally, fifty-fifty two years later he won, is to behold a bounding main of loyalists who'd gladly give him their life savings and internal organs. Given the deficit and health care, they just might. Merely that's the matter: when Trump talks, his fans don't hear the lies or incompetence; they hear a prophet.

If Trump instructed his voters to cease drinking water, sixty meg Americans would succumb to dehydration before Thanksgiving. In Trump they trust.

By sharp dissimilarity, when Clinton talked, her fans looked like they were being forced to eat Brussels sprouts while watching an airline safety video. Her appeal was largely virtually who she was not — namely, Donald Trump. Even the historic, glass-ceiling promise of the get-go female U.Due south. president got mired in the quicksand of blah.

This is why Hollywood needs to do any information technology can to aught Hillary Clinton 4.0.

Railing against Trump calendar week after week is pointless if, in 2020, he's up confronting someone with an even worse approval rating today, someone he already beat when he had zero political experience. No wonder Kellyanne Conway reacted on Sunday to news of a possible Clinton 2022 run with: "Dear God, delight yes."

Clinton may believe she has a "claim" to the White House. But Hollywood should realize her only realistic merits is another swing and miss.

At this signal, all Clinton is sure to do is give Trump a 2d term.
