This kind of makes me want to throw up... from the UK Daily Mail not always the best source but sometimes the first source to break controversial stories (when they are not busy printing retractions).

Hillary Clinton admits she feels the 'urge' to run against Trump and says she would win - as she doubles down on Bernie criticism, imploring voters to examine his record
  • Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton believes she could win against President Donald Trump were she to run in November's election
  • She believes Trump's 'broken promises and the failed actions of this current administration' should ensure the Democrats have a path to victory
  • Clinton has said she was not thinking about the 2020 Democratic primary or the effect on voters when she said 'nobody liked' Sen. Bernie Sanders
  • Clinton said her comments about Sanders's likability and whether she would support him if he's the Democratic nominee, were made more than a year ago
  • She claims that she was not thinking about the 2020 election when she spoke
  • New Hulu docu-series about 2016 campaign contains interview in which Clinton was critical of Sanders, a top contender for the 2020 Democratic nomination

Hillary Clinton has returned to the political stage at the Sundance film festival and says she believes she could beat Donald Trump if she were to run again in November.
In a wide-ranging interview with Variety about her new Hulu docu-series she was asked if she felt the urge to beat the president.
'Yeah. I certainly feel the urge because I feel the 2016 election was a really odd time and an odd outcome,' Clinton replied.

'The more we learn, the more that seems to be the case. But I'm going to support the people who are running now and do everything I can to help elect the Democratic nominee.'
Clinton also addressed the blistering remarks she made about Bernie Sanders when she said 'nobody likes him' in the docu-series and said she was not addressing the election when she made the remarks.
'I think we did that interview about a year and a half ago. I wasn't thinking about the election by any means. I've said I'm going to support the nominee. But I do think it's important to look at somebody's record and look at what they've gotten done and see whether you agree with that or not. I think that's what every voter paying attention should do.'
In the clip from the Hulu series, which is due to be released on March 6, she says: 'Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician.
'It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.'
She said that she did not feel much support from Sanders after his own primary challenge failed in 2016 and encouraged voters to examine the Vermont senator's record.

As she promotes the show, Clinton has managed to keep her focus on Trump, whose shock victory a little over three years ago cut short her seemingly unstoppable political ascent.
'I just think we have to win. I don't think we can afford another four years by the current incumbent,' Clinton said. 'I think that would be absolutely dangerous to our democracy, and I'll do whatever I can to make sure the Democrats win this time,' she continued.
'We have to be better than the other side, because they are highly organized and incredibly well funded, and they have foreign help,' she told reporters, vowing to work to defeat her Republican antagonist Donald Trump in November.
'We should win, because I think people can see the broken promises and the failed actions of this current administration and so we should win, but we're gonna have to overcome all of the obstacles they are throwing our way,' she said.

Clinton, who beat Trump in the popular vote, favors the abolition of the Electoral College.
'The person who gets the most votes should win,' she said. 'The Electoral College is an anachronism that foils the rights of the majority of Americans to choose our leaders.'
Clinton also cited the role of social media platforms and, in particular, Facebook, in a potential repeat of Russian interference.
'The attacks on the fundamental right to vote and run our elections free from illegal, unconstitutional and certainly foreign interference is going to be even more sophisticated today than it was four years ago,' Clinton said.
But Clinton does think some things have changed in the last four years, especially for Trump.

Various folks here predicted that would happen. It also wouldn't surprise me to learn that some of her money is behind the new Bernie attack ad. There is a compelling line in it: Bernie will be 79 at the inauguration.

I try not to be agest, but I (and others) do not want a 79 y.o. president, period.

Added: Biden is currently 77. Hillary's age is given as 72, but I think she might be older.

Many agree with your assessment of Hillary's age.

It's a great day for pics.

She wants it so, so bad. And she just can't stand any of the people that get in her way (like Bernie).

If she's so confident, why didn't she declare as a candidate like everyone else? The primaries are about to get underway, and there's a good chance one of these losers gets a head of steam (like Lurch in 2004). If that happens, nobody is gonna have her on speed dial during the convention.

Hammer, I think it's her drugs talking. Unless she has several rich donors over a barrel, I don't see her doing anything more than flapping her gums.

I'm also surprised that she's not pushing Chelsea into running, although maybe someone higher put the lid on that.

Hillary couldn't win a 2-person game of musical chairs if there were three seats.

Just my opinion. She could end up president-elect of the asylum after all. Shady Acres or some such.

Hillary was in my first wife's high school class in Park Ridge IL. She would have been born in 1946. That would make her 73 or 74. She was also a member of the Young Republicans and a "Goldwater Girl".

Somehow, Hillary keeps reminding me of a political Count Dracula... she won't stay down!

It's bad when even some in your own party wish you would just go away. The Hildabeast is a failure in more ways than one. I thought the Clinton foundation was out of money and that's why they let a bunch of employees go. So where might she be getting the financial support for a campaign?

Fixed it!

My mom born in 1948 would have been 72 yrs old last week. So Hillary will be 74 on her birthday this year.

Recall, a few months ago she was in an interview and clearly stated that she beat Trump in '16. Of course she meant the popular vote but a group of white guys figured that issue out before anyone else. Thanks guys.

Let her run. Maybe DT can take the other few states he missed last time.

In reality, just like last time, the one "winning" ticket the Democrats could come up with is Hillary and Bernie, or at this point Bernie and someone else. That second probably won't win, but I don't discount anything at this point.

My hunch all along is that Hillary was hoping for a brokered convention or a late entry into the race, possibly picking Bloomberg as VP (and thus getting his money too).

I don't think that combination could win, but they may try it anyway.

She is running out of time isn't she? How long before it's too late to get a ground game going and get on the ballots for the primaries? Some of them are coming up soon. She is beyond delusional.

Which is why she better hope nobody comes out of the primaries in any kind of decent shape.

In her mind, she doesn't need a ground game. She just needs everyone to suddenly realize she's the Queen she thinks she is...

Votes count for little because of rampant cheating.

Dim primaries count for nothing as the super delegates pick whom ever they wish.

She has never counted on going through the primaries.

I can see her (in her best Marlon Brando voice) "I coulda been a winner.
