I hate to say this, but a possible Hillary run may be a reality. With impeachment crossing the threshold past the point of no return, there may be an actually House vote on an impeachment. To disclose a theory, if impeachment passes in the House of Representatives, there is a governing rule that members of the Senate have to preside the entire impeachment hearing. Therefore, any Senator running for the presidency in 2020 would have to suspend their campaign. During the last Senate impeachment hearing of Bill Clinton, it lasted almost 2 months. The chances for Trump impeachment to last that long would be a folly. It took three years to get this point for the House to get evidence for a Trump impeachment. The likelihood that an impeachment hearing in the Senate would take much longer.
Six presidential candidates are Senators. That means Warren and Sanders would risk campaign momentum. That leaves Biden and Mayor Pete as the major contenders since they don’t serve in the Senate. However, Biden is slipping badly in the polls and there is question about his electability, and Mayor Pete, who is opening gay, has electability problems with the black vote. Thus, the only person who can jump into the ring with a known name brand, money, and past presidential election experience is Hillary Clinton.
God Save Us All! Let’s hope I’m wrong on this.
Impeachment Will Affect the 2020 Democratic Race
