Hillary Clinton says re 2020 “rather than immediately saying ‘I’m for this person’ or ‘against this person’ or looking for every way to possibly criticize people because they have a record,” pay attention to who can be a president and who can win both the popular vote and EC vote
Advice for 2020 candidates, Hillary Clinton (sort of) jokes: “don’t get on the wrong side of Vladimir Putin - of course, that’s impossible if you stand up for America.” Then talks seriously about Russian attacks on elections, and local voter suppression.
Bill Clinton says, consider how it would be received if a 2020 Democrat now stood up and asked China to hack opponents, since the Mueller Report has established that kind of behavior is OK: “This is how absurd it can become.”
Bill Clinton, anxious about the size of the 2020 field: “The thing that bothers me about having 54 candidates, or however we’ve got, is someone with rising potential will never hear his or her voice heard.”
Clinton says he remains optimistic, though, tells his friends who say “‘it could be a raving disaster for us.’ But you can’t tell. Someone will rise. And you’ve got to believe in that.”
