Had never thought of this before. 'Cause she has ruled out running again, so...
It'd unnerve Trump.
Have been very disappointed that 1,000 (alright, say 10) Demos have not already declared.
Trump does not like groups. He feels cornered in groups. I sensed that back in 2016 and wrote urging Demos to send surrogates all over the country simultaneously attacking Trump. Elizabeth Warren here, Bernie Sanders there, etc. Track Trump. Hunt Trump. Go to the sites of his rallies and hold competing rallies. That's what Bannon did by bringing Bill Clinton's women to one of the debates.Trump always rises to the bait. He cannot resist. It's pavlovian. If there were multiple lines in the water at the same time this walking Id would short-circuit. As would the Trumpists! They would try to kill Warren, Sanders, HRC. If we could avoid getting one of them killed or hurt, the scenes of white trash Trumpists trying to kill them would be worth the effect on the electorate. And the news cycle. The newsies would do split screens: of Trump inside and of Elizabeth Warren outside mocking him. The Trumpists would go nuts. Oh! I just had a sexual frisson. Excuse me for a moment while I go change my underwear.
Anyway, Trump would come to like groups more than he does if the alternative were a one-on-one rematch with HRC. It would absolutely unnerve him.
This brain storm (brain fart if you wish!) falls under the category that it "nearly" does not matter who Demos run. This would be the exception and the only one I can think (if I am thinking clearly at all). Putin works with the "material" he is given and I don't see it working on the 2020 material, the electorate. Hillary and the Demos would be ready in 2020 for anything Putin and Trump try. "Lock Her Up!"? Snore, man, that is so 2016." Hillary got an anti-Trump vaccine in 2016. It was an experimental vaccine. She is the only one to have received it. The vaccine made her sick and it left a scar but it did not kill her and it made her immune to the Trump poison.
And there is soo much more ammunition that HRC has now, after not even two years!, than she had in 2016. "Crooked Hillary"? How about "Traitor Trump"? The counter punch must be ten times worse than the punch and "Traitor Trump" is a counter punch with a factor of ten. Are you better off in America 2.0 than you were in the former United States?
