How would you react if Hillary Clinton announced her bid for Governor of New York in 2018?

Hopefully this at least means we're done with Cuomo.

I think that'd be a pretty good option for her and I think her supporters would take it as a good consolation prize.

She should disappear from the political scene forever.

I'd be fine with her as Governor, as long as she doesn't use it as a mere launching pad.

I would support her 100%, Cuomo pardoning Judith Clark was the last straw for me.

She and Chelsea should stay far away from public office.

Seems a lot more like the American people let her down, if you ask me.

^^ This. Clinton wasn't some very enthusiastic campaigner, but she is an intelligent and effective leader. She had flaws, of course, but her biggest problems stemmed from the lies and disingenuous coverage of her by Republicans in Congress, rightwing media, and fake news (ie email scandal).

Nobody's entitled to the Presidency. This is the very line of argument that worked against Hillary when she ran.

I abhor the choice made by the millions of people, but they had a right to chose, not just to confirm someone.

Hillary lost a race that she almost had in a bag. She lost to someone thought to be utterly unelectable. Sure there were factors beyond her control too, but she did make mistakes and it's on her.

Why stop at just the American people? Quite frankly, everything and everyone involved in this election including the press and the government let Hillary down.

As for the question, I would be ecstatic if Hillary were to run for office again. I don't see Cuomo going anywhere though.

This. I'm also sick of that WWC being completely ignored bs as many of them weren't voting for Hillary anyway.

BTW, I think Hillary will do just fine by continuing to help children instead of running for office again.

What do you mean? The American people voted for her, didn't they?

That would be fine. I think that she has a lot to offer and would make a good Governor.

Honestly, from an objective, non-partisan republican view: I wouldn't mind it. I don't like her, but she's significantly better then Obama, Kerry, Bernie or Ellison.

I'd still back Cuomo, regardless, but her views on policy and politics are less worse then other elements of the Democratic Party.

From a partisan Republican view: YAS. we will win in 2020 if she runs for prez.
