'I'll
be back!': Defeated candidate Clinton considers launching liberal television
show to lay the groundwork for ANOTHER White House run
Hillary
Clinton is reportedly considering the launch of a TV show to keep herself in
the news
The
move would position her for a 2020 presidential run, according to an insider
She
recently offered a toast to friends gathered at her Washington home, affecting
an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent and promising: 'I'll be back'
Clinton
doesn't think Barack Obama will fight enough for liberal priorities, 'which
leaves an opening for her to be the acknowledged leader-in-exile of her party'
Hillary
Clinton is considering another run for president – and is mulling the idea of
launching a television talk show to soften the ground for 2020.
Clinton
would be 73 years old if she were to challenge President Donald Trump – again –
and win the White House the next time around.
Launching
a TV program now would make her America's second-oldest female news or talk
show host on the small screen, after only Joy Behar of 'The View.'

Ed Klein wrote Wednesday on his blog that according to a Clinton insider, the
former secretary of state is open to the idea.
'She
thinks being the host of a popular TV show would energize the Democratic Party
base and her tens of millions of fans,' the unnamed source said, according to Klein.
'It's
a way to make a comeback and position herself for another run at the White
House starting in a year or so.'
Clinton,
Klein writes, recently told a group of friends gathered at her Washington, D.C.
home: 'I'll be back' – and delivered the line in an Arnold Schwarzenegger
'Terminator' accent as she raised a glass of wine.
A
planned comeback as a presidential candidate for the third time would preclude
the idea of running for mayor of New York City.
It
would also take more lucrative opportunities off the table, including corporate
boards and university chancellorships.
But
the Clintons are among the nation's richest Democratic politicians, reaping
hundreds of millions of dollars in speaking fees since Bill Clinton left the
White House in 2001.
