Impeachment is helping Donald Trump and the Democratic presidential field is in disarray. Can Hillary Clinton save Democrats from themselves?

The One Who Got Away

Do people who cast their ballots in 2016 for Donald Trump wish today they’d voted for Hillary Clinton?

More specifically, do those Democrats who voted for Donald Trump, or the Green Party’s Jill Stein, in 2016 wish now they had voted for Clinton?

The answer to this question is no doubt at the heart of persistent rumors that former Secretary of State and 2008/2016 also-ran Hillary Clinton is considering jumping into the race for the Democratic nomination once again.

Clinton has been dropping hints for weeks, albeit possibly in an effort to sell more of her recently published book “Gutsy Women”. But a new poll published this week shows that Hillary Clinton would be leading the Democratic field, if she were in it.

Clinton herself has more than a few reasons to consider a rematch against Donald Trump, not least of which is the way her stunning defeat still so obviously rankles.

Clinton has blamed her loss on everything from Russian interference- even going so far as to call Jill Stein a Russian asset- to the Electoral College- pointing out that she actually won by popular vote.
