Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is “talking about” running for New York City mayor, Newsmax reports.
It has only been 57 days since President-elect Donald Trump defeated Clinton. During the election slog, Clinton, 69, collapsed getting into a Secret Service van, had multiple coughing fits during speeches and seemed to have trouble walking up steps at a rally in Lake Worth, Fla.
“If she ran, she’d win,” a Newsmax source said.
She was a New York senator from 2001 to 2009. During that time, her popularity peaked at 60 percent in 2001 and ping-ponged from as low as 47 percent in December 2002 to 57 percent in 2005 and then back down to 48 percent in May 2008 when she conceded the Democratic nomination to then-Sen. Barack Obama.
Clinton easily beat Trump in New York during the 2016 election, grabbing 59 percent to his 36.5 percent. She trounced Trump in New York City, winning 78.59 percent with 1,969,920 votes...
...“She’s talking about it,” a former elected city official told Newsmax.
COMMENT: You know why she's talking about it? I'll tell you why she's talking about it. Because if she runs and wins, she'd be mayor of Trump Tower, that's why. I can just see her arranging for Trump Tower to fail its elevator inspections. Nobody gets above the first floor. I can see her running to the White House to personally hand President Trump the citations. I can see her demanding that he call her "your honor." I can see him having her arrested for trespassing.
