When pondering who could potentially be worse than President Joe Biden running the White House, the brain often goes to only one name: Hillary Clinton, the two-time loser. Yes, the very same individual who thought she had the 2016 election locked up tighter than a drum before Donald Trump snatched it right out of her hands.
A recent op-ed in “The Hill” suggested that America is just itching for another Clinton ticket. Apparently, they feel it’s time for Round Two of the ultimate political comeback story. As Democrats scramble to figure out how to wave goodbye to Biden ahead of 2024, the article tosses Clinton’s name into the ring as not only a viable contender but possibly the most qualified candidate ever to seek the highest office in the land. It’s almost as if they believe nostalgia for the first failed attempt could bridge the gap to success in the second round.
You lost once, you can do it again! Dems don’t want you, you’re voodoo to them as well as to everyone else!
The Dems May Have Found Someone Worse Than Kamala to Replace Biden https://t.co/6ob5LDLsPX— NYNanc🇺🇸 (@ny32007) July 21, 2024
The author, Pablo O’Hana, takes a swing at the current chaos within the Democratic Party, proclaiming the Biden debate about his candidacy to be as damaging as a bad haircut. This divisiveness, he argues, is just a prime opportunity for Trump to strut right back into the spotlight. According to him, millions are regretting their 2016 voting choices, and somehow, Clinton emerges as the antidote to all that remorse.
Flashback to 2016, when Clinton was riding high on the “inevitability” wave, only to be mowed down by Trump in a stunning turn of events. With 306 electoral votes and nearly 46 percent of the popular vote under his belt, Trump decisively proved that the Democrats were asleep at the switch. Fast forward to now, and rumblings about Clinton trying for a third time have surfaced, but it raises a crucial question: are the odds stacked in her favor or purely against her? Polls suggest that, regardless of the Democrat candidate, Trump keeps coming out as the frontrunner—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. might have a shot, but even that looks questionable.
O’Hana’s contention that Clinton is the candidate to beat because she is “younger than both Biden and Trump” adds a humorous twist to the absurdity. He praises her “unparalleled resume” and claims she champions “children’s rights and health care,” conveniently ignoring her history of scandals and questionable policy decisions. Despite being lauded as “seasoned” and “savvy,” one has to wonder what credibility she really has following her stint in a messy political landscape marked by failed campaigns and attention-grabbing gaffes.
Interestingly, the article notes that the Clintons have remained deferential to Biden regarding his campaign, still prodding donors to keep the checks flowing—a clear sign they may still want a piece of the action in case Biden stumbles further. After all, if there’s one thing the Clintons have mastered, it’s the art of political survival. Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign is bleeding funds faster than a college kid on spring break, but he’s still clinging desperately to the notion that only he stands a chance against Trump. With scheduled fundraisers scattered across major cities, it looks like the Biden-Harris team is in damage control when they should have been planning a stealth exit.
