Hillary Clinton isn't running for president again. But the Hillary comeback prophecies will never stop
Your next president? Photo: Anadolu Agency/Getty Images The post-Trump era has been a difficult one for the news business. It’s tough to maintain readers’ attention when the leader of the country isn’t spouting surreal nonsense every day. To keep things spicy, sometimes you need to play the old hits, even if those hits never made any sense.
On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed with the irresistible headline “Hillary Clinton’s 2024 Election Comeback.” The article, co-authored by Doug Schoen and Andrew Stein, ludicrously argues that Clinton could present herself as a “change candidate” if Democrats lose in this year’s midterms. It is not worth engaging with on the merits.
In 2018, the Journal ran a similar op-ed, this one by Mark Penn and, once again, Andrew Stein . The certitude-filled headline: “Hillary Will Run Again.” The even less prescient sub-headline: “Reinventing herself as a liberal firebrand, Mrs. Clinton will easily capture the 2020 nomination.”Nor did she run in 2012, even though Doug Schoen and Patrick Caddell argued the previous year in the Journal’s pages that Barack Obama should abandon his reelection campaign and make way for Clinton.
That Penn and Schoen, Clinton White House veterans who have spent the past 20 years concern-trolling Democrats, have absolutely no insight into the current state of the party does not seem to be an impediment to publishing sweepingly incorrect predictions or advice.
