After the Obama years, the general expectation was that nominee Hillary would win the 2016 election over her once-friend, Donald J. Trump, a political neophyte. Though early on the contest seemed hers to lose, Hillary soon found herself in the crosshairs of her own unpopularity and the mood of the country for change.

Hillary took her presidential defeat badly – but she never really took herself out of contention. After her defeat five years ago, some presumed she would trudge, if reluctantly, toward political extinction. Indeed, four years later in 2020. there was no groundswell for Hillary, and certainly less when Joe Biden, a Democrat, moved into the White House.

HRC may be as crooked as the part in Jan Psaki’s red hair, but she has always been straight about what she wants. And now, by wading into the midst of Biden’s misadventures, she is daring to take Ram Emanuel’s advice to never let a crisis go to waste.
