No. She should move on.  The fact that she couldn't even defeat the orange clown should make it unmistakably clear: Americans just don't want her to be President.  Someone else will carry the torch.

I think she would have done a good job but kimmy is probably right. Failed US presidential candidates don't get second chances.

I suspect that the interference of the FBI director in the last week of the campaign cost her the election. That being said, I think her Presidency would be paralyzed by massive opposition from Congress and the Senate.

By 2020, she will be considered too old.

I think it would have been no more paralyzed than Obama's had been. I think after the frothing idiocy of election-season rhetoric had died down, Republicans would have probably been able to work with Clinton a bit moreso than they did with Obama (she is far less liberal/progressive than Obama is). That said, yeah, she managed to lose to Trump of all people, so definitely time for a new candidate. Hopefully somebody younger instead of all these gerontocrats, too.

We are ingrained with the belief that the president should act “presidential”. That some career politician, or attorney, or partisan mafioso should be held, and maintain, deep respect. De facto legitimacy. The great thing about Trump, is that he destroyed that. We no longer MUST hold these criminals and clowns in high respect. When the president Tweets that the cow Meryl Streep is an overrated actress, we are met with pangs of embarrassment, followed by waves of joy… finally someone reverential… speaking the truth. Hilarious.

There's some truth to this, but being more "real" has been done before, and has been also done with honesty and hard work.  As you point out, "presidential" behaviour is superficial and that cuts two ways.

Trump's numbers are down today - maybe because the better healthcare plan he promised hits his core supporters.

He's down to 37% approval, with a tough week coming up...
