Have the Democrats handed everything to Trump?

The only link I could find was on infowars so not posting it but heard via twitter that Hilary Clinton is planning to run again in 2020.

She had every media outlet on her side, corporations, huge money spent etc etc and she lost back then

she now wants to re-brand as a far left progressive

what are the chances?

It's probably more likely that Hillary will end up throwing her support behind a more moderate/'centrist' Democrat Party candidate (after all, their first hurdle would be to get through the "Primaries"..).

Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have, in all honesty, been 'centre right' politicians, by international standards --  with both of them having select big business concerns backing them, especially on Wall Street, as well as in Hollywood and the mainstream media..

It simply wouldn't wash to have Hillary reinventing herself as some kind of 'lefty'/liberal/'progressive' at this late stage.  What really makes the Clintons look like "lefties by American -centric measures, is simply comparing them to just how far to the 'right' the Republican Party has swung over the last 10 years.

Those Republican propagandists (probably led by Steve Bannon &company), Russian hackers, Faux News, and Southern Baptist/Evangelicals,  have probably done such a good job of bringing fear, racism and sexism to the fore, that you're not likely to see either female or 'coloured' candidates being put forward for another couple of decades, now...

What's the bet that next years Democrat candidate ends up being a mainstream, moderate 'white' male ???

Might Joe Biden get the nod ahead of Bernie Sanders ?

Every major city in Texas was won by O'Rourke. Just give it time, and we'll return to the proud Texas Democratic tradition that not only gave America Beto, but also Wendy Davis, Anne Richards, and LBJ's Great Society - Medicare, Medicaid, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, along with a slew of other programs that protect the powerless.
