Clinton and the dream of Presidency
TEHRAN(Basirat): Hillary Clinton is still hopeful about the U.S. presidential elections in 2020, despite her failure in 2008 and 2016. This is while experts mention that one of the main reasons of Democrats' defeat in the previous presidential election was Clinton's presence as the Party's final candidate, and the stealing of Bernie Sanders' vote by Hillary Clinton's supporters.
As reported by the CNN, Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
sent mixed messages when she said she did not want to run for president again,
but after hesitating she added that she would like to be president someday.
When asked by tech magazine Recode's Kara Swisher at a taping Friday of the
Recode Decode podcast whether she wanted to run for president again, Clinton
said, "No, no."
But after a pause and some prodding from Swisher, Clinton said, "Well, I'd like
to be president."
"I think, hopefully, when we have a Democrat in the Oval Office in January of
2021, there's going to be so much work to be done," she elaborated, later
adding, "The work would be work that I feel very well prepared for, having been
at the Senate for eight years, having been a diplomat in the State Department,
and it's just going to be a lot of heavy lifting."
When Swisher asked whether Clinton would be doing that heavy lifting, Clinton
replied, "Oh, I have no idea. ... I'm not even going to even think about it till
we get through this November 6 election about what's going to happen after
that."
Beyond what CNN reported, it should be noted that after the disclosure of
Hillary Clinton's emails and the Democrats' betrayal of Bernie Sanders, many of
the U.S. citizens in the 2016 presidential elections voted for Trump. Some
political analysts in the United States believe that if Bernie Sanders stood in
Clinton's position during the 2016 elections, he would have been able to defeat
Trump and enter the White House. The Clintons, however, continue to influence
the Democrats and try to get the most out of it. Though former President Bill
Clinton is opposed to his wife's decision to run for the upcoming presidential
election, Hillary Clinton doesn't appear to be reluctant in this regard!
It should be noted that Joe Biden (former vice president of the United States),
Bernie Sanders and John Kerry are now considered as the prominent Democrat
figures who are likely to become the Party's nominee in the 2020 presidential
elections. However, Democrats now have their main focus on the United States
midterm elections, and regarding the raising dissatisfaction of Trump's
government, their success is quite probable.
