Hillary Clinton is reportedly cautiously tip-toeing back into the political fray with plans to headline three Democratic National Committee fundraisers this fall, NBC News reported Monday. 

While it was unclear which candidates Clinton will stump for, the events will be “intimate dinners with discussion” in San Francisco, Chicago and New York. According to a Democratic source close to Clinton, the former secretary of state and failed presidential candidate is also planning to fundraise for women running in pivotal congressional races.

While Clinton remains a darling of the DNC, her involvement in key races could have the inverse effect. With Clinton planted as the lingering focus of Republicans’ ire, GOP campaign officials told NBC they welcome Clinton’s involvement.

    What an oddly hostile way to word that…

    This is exactly what i’m afraid of. She did nothing wrong to earn her place in infamy among Republicans, but that is precisely where she is. Without her stumping for other Dems, the only thing Republicans have to run against is Pelosi, and those people hate Clinton even more. Her re-emergence on the campaign trail will undoubtedly raise lots of money for Dems, but it will also get a lot of Republicans out to the pols to oppose whoever she supports. I fully realize this is not fair to her in any way. She definitely does not deserve a back seat in anything she does, but right now the Dems have very strong momentum heading into the mid-terms. I hate to see anything compromise our collective momentum. Granted, my fears might be unfounded, but that doesn’t make them go away. And trust me on this. I would much rather my fears go away than Clinton.

  3. If the Democrats are smart they’ll boldly support HRC. She’s the victim of a GOP tear down and MSM complicity in that. The real HRC is one of the most honest pols we’ve had in 50 years, second only to Obama, and if the Democrats want to stop what’s been killing them for 40 years they’ll go full blown HRC.

    The article above is written in the “mandatory” style for journo’s discussing her and it’s time to fight that. It stinks of the same tenor that framed Al Gore as a serial fabulist and John Kerry a fake war hero. False. What MSM and liberal complicity in those and the HRC war monger “stand down order” smears got us was an unnecessary war in Iraq that killed 1000’s of young Americans and DJ Trump. “Al Gore said he invented the internet” got millions of people killed at the hands of the people that told the lie. " John Kerry didn’t earn his medals" got 4 more years of death and destruction all compliments of the Swift Boat assholes. And how did you hear it? MSM. They loved it. The same MSM that went hog wild with a GOP scam to blame HRC, the Sec. of State, for an embassy attack when that was never done to previous Sec’s of State. In both cases, With Bush and Trump the nation suffered but in both cases it took extraordinary means, Florida and SCOTUS in the case of Bush and Russia in the case of Trump to push them in the Oval Office. Neither would have been successful if it weren’t for the full blown assault on the Democratic candidates ( both Dem’s won the popular vote ) by the MSM bullshit.

    Don’t let anyone tell you what your values are. That includes by formula journalism put out by this blog and others. HRC is not what she’s been cast to be. We know that. Take pride in it and shove it in the face of those that want to continue the lies.

  4. It’s the crap they teach in Journo school. HRC 101 says that’s how you speak of her.
