Hillary Clinton: Running for President in 2020 is Not "Part of My Plans," But "Never Say Never"

She's running.

Or: She's shuffling awkwardly and sadly. And falling down stairs, and being thrown into the back of a van like a Mexican kidnap victim.

I'll take it.

Hillary Clinton says she's under "enormous pressure" to consider a 2020 White House bid but it's "absolutely not" part of her plans right now.

"As I say, never, never, never say never," Clinton told BBC Radio 5 Live host Emma Barnett when asked Tuesday if she was ruling out another political run. "I will certainly tell you, I'm under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it," the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee continued.

Meanwhile, the Beast's 2008 campaign strategist, Mark Penn, also says he thinks she might embarrass herself again.

It's not too late for Hillary Clinton to enter the race for the Democratic nomination just as Michael Bloomberg did, her former strategist says.

Mark Penn, who served as a chief strategist and pollster during Clinton’s failed 2008 presidential campaign, thinks his former boss could still jump in at this late stage.

'There’s still a couple of days here,' Penn told Fox News.

'I don't know whether [Clinton will] look at the Michael Bloomberg thing and say, "The field's too crowded now. I missed my opportunity," or the opposite.

Dick Morris is saying the same thing, but he hasn't advised the Clintons since the 90s.

I think Hillary wants to run but the problem is, see, no one else does. The people she'd usually tap to run her campaign are running other people's, and the money people are giving her the cold shoulder, and Democrat graybeards are counselling her to pack it in.

She wants to, though.
