The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed by Mark Penn, a former senior adviser to the Clintons, and Andrew Stein, former president of the New York City Council.
“Hillary will run again,” the title blares. Below, the pair claims that Clinton will reinvent herself as a liberal firebrand to “easily capture the 2020 nomination.”
“Mrs. Clinton has come unbound. She will not allow this humiliating loss at the hands of an amateur to end the story of her career,” Penn and Stein explain.
“You can expect her to run for president once again. Maybe not at first, when the legions of Senate Democrats make their announcements, but definitely by the time the primaries are in full swing.”
They then advise not to listen to Clinton’s claims she will not run.
“Mrs. Clinton knows both Mr. Clinton and Mr. Obama declared they weren’t running, until they ran,” they conclude.“She may even skip Iowa and enter the race later, but rest assured that, one way or another, Hillary 4.0 is on the way.”
Clinton herself has not completely ruled out a 2020 run, telling Recode last month, “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.”

Would be a great choice. An automatic win for Trump. Go Hillary.
Third time’s the charm.
O bring it on please!! That’ll be awesome. Trump vs Hillary in a rematch. So we can beat her again!
I hope she runs. That would give us months of free entertainment. POTUS would wipe the floor with her big time.
Anon 21, have you analyzed how the midterm elections will impact a Clinton campaign? The returns from last week indicate that Clinton will be able to win electoral votes and popular votes. Of course that’s if electoral votes are still at play during the next presidential election. It cannot be denied that she won the popular vote and the majority of American voters at the time chose her to be president. This just examples how the electoral college impacts elections. It’s a pity that a democracy such as ours cannot accept the will of the people.
