President Donald Trump on Monday said he hoped Hillary Clinton will run for president again in 2020.

Clinton herself has said she’s “done with being a candidate.”

Prior to her 2016 campaign for President, the former secretary of state, junior senator from New York and first lady ran for the Democratic nomination for President in 2008, eventually losing to Barack Obama.

Trump openly considered running for president several times, beginning in 1988. He briefly ran as a Reform Party candidate in 2000.

Trump filed the first paperwork for his re-election campaign on the day of his presidential inauguration, breaking with established precedent. He immediately began holding campaign events around the country, often with official symbols like Air Force One in the background of his rallies.

  1. I’m unsure I could take another Hillary run. Just the thought of Susan Sarandon crisscrossing the country with Jon Voight campaigning for Trump makes me queasy.

  2. NO ONE asked you that FMOTUS…it was just the voices in your head again.

  3. As much as I hope that Trump doesn’t serve out his full four years, there is a part of me that desperately wants to see him run again so he can get the spanking he so richly deserved the first go-round.

  4. Could have stopped right there.

  5. FFS! This makes beating a dead horse look positively innovative. Of course the “Base” (aren’t they just) will lap it up.
