Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made her final farewell this week — and the third time won’t be the charm.
At long last, Hillary has formally said bye-bye to the 2020 presidency.
“I’m not running,” he said in an interview with News 12. “But, I’m going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe.”
Not actually holding office won’t stop Hillary from meddling in the current state of politics. In fact, she says she’s here to stay.
“I want to be sure that people understand I’m going to keep speaking out,” Hillary said. “I’m not going anywhere. What’s at stake in our country, the kind of things that are happening right now are deeply troubling to me.’”
“And I’m also thinking hard about how do we start talking and listening to each other again?” she asked. “We’ve just gotten so polarized. We’ve gotten into really opposing camps unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my adult life.”
Of course, Hillary once said half the country were nothing but “deplorable” sexists and racists. The current polarization stems from her so-called inspiring efforts during the 2016 campaign. Since her embarrassing loss, the House has seen an influx of radicals liberals. Hillary pointed out that her run has been “influential” for the incoming Democratic congressmen and women.
And she’s thrilled about it.
“I’m hoping that we’re going to keep seeing the numbers increase,” she said. “I’m thrilled by the exciting, dynamic women who were elected to congress and they’re already making their mark.”
Then she shrugged and smiled with guilty pleasure when she said, “I’ve had a lot of them tell me that my work, my run for president was very influential in their decision to run.”
Of course, the freshman congresswomen used a different strategy than Hillary… because they actually won their respective elections.
Looking ahead to the 2020 presidency, although she is out, she’s chiming whispers into the ears of many Democratic candidates. She mentioned one piece of advice she’s been spreading around the Democratic barracks:
“Don’t take anything for granted.”
Trust Hillary on that one.
She found out the hard way.
