Is Hillary Clinton coming back for another shot at the White House in 2020?

Clinton has ramped up her public profile of late. She’s also made a habit of taking jabs at US President Donald Trump on social media.

These moves got people’s attention. Many are pondering whether Clinton is considering a late entry into the 2020 Democratic Presidential race.

Sportsbooks have also taken notice of Clinton’s recent increase in public presence. Over the past two weeks, her average across the leading betting houses have improved considerably. She’s gone from +5800 to +2500 in the 2020 Presidential Election odds.

Third-Time’s the Charm For Clinton?

Clinton lost the 2008 Democratic nomination to Barack Obama. She beat Bernie Sanders to win the Democratic nod in 2016.

Would she want to give it another shot? Are people simply reading too much into her very prominent criticism of Trump?

Earlier this week, Trump took to Twitter to taunt Clinton. He dared her to run again in 2020.

Clinton’s among the most effective at trolling Trump on Twitter. She was quick to respond to his jab.

Later, in an interview with PBS reporter Judy Woodruff, Clinton insisted that she was only joking.

Prophet In A Pants Suit

One of the most popular refrains on social media these days is “Hillary was right about everything.”

She warned American voters what Trump was truly all about. Three years later, Trump faces an impeachment inquiry from the House of Representatives. The layers of his administration’s corruption continue to be peeled back.

Clinton’s being proven correct. Her predictions about what would happen to America under a Trump Presidency are coming to fruition.

Does that mean she’s planning to run again? Of course not.

But Clinton is a skilled politician. She’s well aware of the permanent space she’s rented inside Trump’s head. He beat her for the Presidency, and yet he’s still obsessed with her.

Continuing to mess with his mind is just another way she can help the Democrats win in 2020.

It’s A Mad, Mad (2020 Election) World

Let’s face it. American politics currently finds itself in uncharted waters.

Is Trump going to be impeached? Will he resign? Might Republicans finally decide they’ve had enough and cut ties with him?

No one knows the answer to any of these questions. As well, no one knows how deep the current scandal involving Trump’s attempts to pressure the President of Ukraine to dig up dirt on 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden will end up going.

For the first time in this election cycle, there are several other Republican candidates listed among the top-20 contenders. They include Vice-President Mike Pence, 2012 Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.

As well, there are other wild-card candidates like former First Lady Michelle Obama and even Oprah Winfrey.

The truth is that Clinton isn’t likely to be running in 2020. But at this point, just who might be opposing each other for President in the next election is anybody’s guess.
