Any Thoughts, Mrs. Clinton, on the Year After Next?

This OP has been posted in the Hillary Clinton discussion group


Hillary Rodham Clinton is accustomed to hearing The Question. So if you have a chance to ask it, make it count.

“Can you give us some insight into how the ‘T.B.D.’ in your bio will play out,” a University of Miami student asked Mrs. Clinton last week, a reference to the “to be determined” abbreviation she wrote about her future in her biography on Twitter, which limits responses to 140 characters. “Well, I’d really like to,” Mrs. Clinton replied. “But I have no characters left.”

Last fall, at an event at the University at Buffalo, the moderator asked Mrs. Clinton to “describe for us what the ideal candidate for the presidency would look like in three years.” She replied: “I am not as interested in what the candidate looks like as what the candidate stands for,” and then proceeded to describe Democratic policies.

Another miss.

As speculation grows about whether Mrs. Clinton will run for president again, in 2016, so too has a political parlor game of coming up with creative variations on the same question. The standard will-you-run inquiry no longer suffices. They come up at almost all of Mrs. Clinton’s many paid talks to trade groups, events related to her charitable work and at galas and awards ceremonies.
