Right from her own mouth:

Hillary Clinton: No more president runs

Hillary Clinton has made her first, and last, run for the presidency.

The secretary of state replied “no” when asked in an interview that aired this morning on NBC’s “Today” show whether she’ll run again.

“I have to tell you, it never crosses my mind,” she said.

She said the misunderstanding stems from how she operates. “I believe in delegating power,” Clinton said. “I’m not one of these people who feels like I have to have my face in the front of the newspaper or on the TV every moment of the day. I would be irresponsible and negligent were I to say, ‘Oh, no. Everything must come to me.’”
Thank goodness! :sneaky:

But Clinton said she doesn’t spend her time thinking about what she’d do if she had won the election.
“I have to tell you, it never crosses my mind,” she said.

Just for context, since the way you quoted it, it sounds like that last statement is about running again.

She's too old, like I said in the other thread. Grandpa's can run, but not grandmas. Go bake some cookies granny!

I still say she won't run. If I'm wrong I owe everyone of this forum a cookie. ;)

'course, Mitt said he wouldn't and it's looking like he's flip-flopped.

Wow this is huge. Wonder who is heir apparent to Obama now?

Biden :D

He will be 73 when the elections start. Too old. Like I said in another thread, the dems messed up. Should have been Hillary then Obama, Obama is only 53 now. Prime time to be a president.

He could have used the time as VP, to learn from a leader.

Proof that people believe whatever they are told so long as they agree with it. (even after being told what the issue with this thread was)


Clicking on this article should have everyone clicking on the "report" button to report this troll.

This thread is proof positive that you don't have to smoke pot to be a dope. Well done OP.

WTF, that is old. We need her to run now. We need a new Clinton era of prosperity. The Clinton-Gore legacy era was the pinnacle of prosperity in the U.S, it is time to bring that back.

I think there will be another Bush in the White House.

I hope not. And I don't want another Clinton either. Frankly, if Hillary runs I think she'll get screwed again. The dems may very well want to push a woman candidate to go for another 'historical' election. To that end, I wouldn't be surprised to see fauxcahontas make a bid. I have no clue how the rep field will shake out, but I'm sure that the stupid party will do their best to pick yet another unelectable candidate.

Anyone who believes anything that comes out of her mouth is just ignorant.

The list of flat out lies she has told is too big to believe any single word she says.

Hey, you can't expect to hold someone to specific details after all the sniper shots she dodged on the tarmac at the airport ;)
