Reports surfaced this week suggesting that Chelsea Clinton may be considering a run for Congress in New York's 12th District, where longtime Democratic Representative Jerry Nadler has announced his retirement. The reports about Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, come as Democratic strategists weigh who could consolidate support in a rapidly expanding field. However, she has repeatedly insisted over the years that she has no plans to enter politics. Newsweek reached out to Chelsea Clinton via email for comment.

Let's ask her BIOLOGICAL father - Webster Hubbell. Her father is a criminal who went to jail and her stepfather -bill Clinton- is a sextual predator being SERVICED by Monica in the Oval Office. Let's make sure EVERONE who votes rememberes that.

Safe district. Guess it's possible that she's running and she could probably win there too.

Gag me with a spoon. First the commie Mamdani and then Hildabeast Jr. Good luck NY, you are going to need it. Then again maybe you just deserve all the manure headed your way. Nadler said something about a generational change now species.

The four years she was in college, she was following her mother around the world. Neat trick. But she got her diploma.

FTA: ''However, she has repeatedly insisted over the years that she has no plans to enter politics.''
Well, there is this one little caveat, she's a Clinton, which means she lies from sun up to sundown, like mommy and daddy. The easy grift is calling.

The Piglet In A Pant Suit! Now we know why Nadler is being forced out. Moynihan Maneuver 2.0. Nads should be grateful they didn't pull another JFK Jr. stunt.

If she can win the primary. She's in. She can't win on her personality. She can only win if the Clinton machine can clear a path. Is there enough Clinton support to push her over the finish line. Let's face it. The Clinton's stopped being a thing whe the light bringer won in 2008. You have to be 30+ years old to evem remember that a Clinton regime existed.

I imagine Web Hubbell’s daughter’s campaign will wind up much like Caroline Kennedy’s.

Running for Congress would open Chelsea to having to answer questions about the Clinton Foundation and where did the money go. All of those storeis about Hillary, Chelsea's wedding, emails, and past Clinton wrongdoing/questionable actions will become a focus of the election.

Why wouldn't she? A Democrat member of Congress in Washington DC can increase their net worth by hundreds of millions of dollars in 2 short terms.

Chelsea has no chance. She lacks the skills necessary to conduct an effective campaign. She is unqualified for federal office and has no political appeal. Chelsea is a dud.

Ever heard her speak on TV? She appears to have an IQ about six points above plant life. Let her run.

All this really means is that they have finally finished washing Chelsea's entire past history with a cloth. Whoosh! Right now they're all as pure as the driven snow.

The only reason Hillary did as well as she did, having zero actual qualifications, and less charisma, is her ruthless political tactics.
Not even mommy's money can get Chelsea over the finish line, having zero qualifications, zero charisma, zero acumen, and zero ruthlessness.

Chelsea will run only if she guaranteed a win. You'd think even the Democrats would be sick of the Clintons.

And Miss Hubbell's qualifications for high elected office are....... uhhhh, I'm waiting...... name one, just one.
Keep in mind, though, that the source for this item is Newsweek.

Well, as unpopular as the DemoRoids are now, and how well the Trump economy is doing, if the Republicans can field a smart, charismatic candidate with no baggage, that seat might actually turn red.
So, run piglet in a pantsuit, run.

Someone once described Chelsea as the poster child for white privilege.
She landed a six figure salary from NBC fresh out of college with zero experience,
She obtained wealth without working for it.
If she does run, I have no doubt that they will pick a safe blue district in NY, instruct all others not to run, and throw millions behind the campaign.
Once in Congress, she will be an inexperienced nobody, especially after mommy and daddy are on the other side of the grass.
