Three questions about Hillary and the house of representative election in 2018.

[zstat]

Will Hillary be elected as a representative in congress in 2018?
Will the democrats be the majority party in the congress after the 2018 election?
Who will be nominated as the Speaker of the House in January, 2019?

1. The Speaker doesn't have to be a representative.

2. wait... what?

okay, so how funny would it be if we took the House and Senate in '18, elected Hillary Speaker, impeached Trump and Pence... and....

fixed this whole fucking mistake?

4. There would have to be a tidal wave that makes Trump/Pence so politically toxic...

that enough Senators will cross party lines and vote to remove (barring a resignation a la Nixon). The threshold of the remove is 2/3rds of the Senators present have to vote for it.

6. It won't happen

Trump and Pence will not be impeached and removed at the same time. If Trump is, then Pence becomes President and nominates a new VP. If he is then impeached and removed, then HIS VP will become Prez. Of all the possible people that Pence would nominate as VP, Hillary Clinton is probably at the bottom of the list.

So, no, Hillary Clinton will not become president.

3. Nancy Pelosi will be nominated for Speaker in 2019.

She's the party leader in the House. Whether she wins depends on how many Democrats win in November.

5. Has Sec. Clinton expressed any interest in running for an elected office again?

If she wanted to run as a Representative from her home in Chappaqua NY area, the NY17th, she would have to primary Nita Lowery a Dem who has held that seat since 2013. There is no obvious reason to do that.

9. I've heard rumors about running for Mayor of NYC. nt

10. She was first elected to Congress in 1989

NO reason to primary her. She turns 80 this year and will probably think of retiring soon.

From the rumors I've heard, Hillary isn't the Clinton that some want replacing her.

7. What is the point of this...Hillary has shown no interest in running for anything...

I always wonder about such posts which can be quite divisive...which we don't need right now.

8. Hillary's not running for Congress

Her district is already a Democratic district (although the congresswoman turns 80 this year).
