In many ways, the Democratic Party remains stuck in 2016, and nothing makes that more clear than Hillary Clinton’s continued presence and influence in the party.
Clinton told donors at a fundraiser in Virginia that it was hard to imagine that people would want to make former President Donald Trump the president once again. At that same fundraiser, Clinton compared herself to a priestess in Greek mythology who could see the future but would never be believed. This comes shortly after she got a standing ovation at the Tony Awards, where she reminded a bunch of elitists how important it is for them to vote.
Clinton spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention and will likely get another speech slot at this year’s DNC, and it is all thoroughly baffling. Clinton, after all, was the terrible candidate who managed to lose to Trump in 2016. Her campaign was so lackadaisical that she didn’t visit Wisconsin after its April primary, skipping the state for the general election and only going back there after losing, to promote her book.
Clinton then went full election denier, calling Trump an “illegitimate” president and telling Joe Biden in August 2020 not to concede “under any circumstances.” Her campaign was oriented around celebrity endorsements and pandering as well to her own ego, which led her to loudly ponder why she wasn’t 50 points ahead of Trump and almost led her campaign to embrace an entitled rallying cry of “because it’s her turn.”
Let’s recap the relevancy of Mrs. Bill Clinton:

Terrible as she is, and she’s horrible on a good day, Kamala is 20 years younger than Hilarity; both share the distinction of requiring multiple attempts to pass the bar exam.
