She could say that the sky is blue and it would piss people off, so ultimately it's best that she just retire with some semblance of grace rather than desperately clinging to the limelight. Frankly, any intervention of hers is unhelpful.
That is all true but you miss the larger point. This is a person who almost got away with rigging the election and would be the sitting president right now. In this this context it is a a very huge statement to make. Like it or not she is representing Democrats. Thank god for the electoral college.
Just another reason the Democratic party is in a death spiral. This article is a good laugh. Video is even funnier.
Clintons aren’t going away yet, as upcoming speaking tour showshttps://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation ... story.htmlSome passages from the article: Apparently the Clinton's are going on tour, Hillary is going to lecture on not being civil to your political opponents, and Bill is speaking in support of the Me Too movement.
WASHINGTON — The 2020 presidential election season will kick off with some familiar names: Bill and Hillary Clinton.
The couple is launching a 13-city tour, produced by the global entertainment company Live Nation, more known for musical acts than political ones. Billed as “An Evening with the Clintons,” it starts just two weeks after the midterm elections.
And it’s prompting some rare bipartisan confusion.
That’s because the Clintons aren’t selling a book. Or a TV show. Or a charitable cause. They appear to be promoting themselves. And they’ll be doing it just as a wide field of Democrats are casting about for a fresh face who can challenge President Trump.
The tour, which will take the former first couple to Boston, where tickets range from $120.50 to $370.50, as well as Texas, Michigan, Connecticut, and Canada, is part of a political mini-trend. Michelle Obama is on tour with Live Nation — though she’s also selling her book.
Spokesmen for Bill and Hillary Clinton didn’t respond to questions about whom the ticket sales benefit.
Or what, exactly, the message of the events would be. Or why the former two-term president and former secretary of state feel the need to hit the road now as a slice of the nation looks to future leaders to take on Trump.
“Trump will rub his fingers raw tweeting about the Clintons and will use their tour as yet another distraction for whatever firings he undertakes after the midterms,” predicted Craig Varoga, a Democratic strategist. “But only a very cold heart would begrudge a former president and secretary of state the opportunity to be heard.”
“But to a person, their biggest challenge will be each other and the eight-thousand-pound tweeting gorilla in the White House, not Bill and Hillary Clinton,” Varoga said. “The most viable Democrat is going to be the one who finds his or her voice despite the 24/7 pseudo-reality show that ain’t going away any time soon.”
