Hillary Clinton Is Telling Friends She Just Might Run in 2020

The real news here is that she has friends. I thought she spent all of her time getting slobberknockered on chardonnay and haunting the woods, like a sasquatch that can't navigate stairs.

"Clinton is telling people that she's not closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020," Zeleny said. "I'm told by three people that as recently as this week, she was telling people that look, given all this news from the indictments, particularly the Roger Stone indictment, she talked to several people, saying 'look, I'm not closing the doors to this.'"

Still, Zeleny said, "it does not mean that there's a campaign-in-waiting, or a plan in the works." And one close Clinton friend told Zeleny "it would surprise me greatly if she actually did it."

"Most losing presidential candidates never totally close the doors to running for president" again, Zeleny said. "But I think we have to at least leave our mind open to the possibility that she is still talking about it. She wants to take on Trump. Could she win a Democratic primary to do it? I don't know the answer to that."

Can she hold on to her most passionate supporters, by which I mean Ben Shapiro, Jonah Goldberg, David French, Hugh Hewitt, JV Last, and the rest of NeverTrump? Time will tell.
