1. There have been a few articles (in the Times, Washington Post & elsewhere) speculating that Hillary Clinton will run again. I'm skeptical but something is happening.
2. This Times piece about donors wanting Hillary (and Bloomberg, Michelle Obama, John Kerry etc) to enter presidential race offers a clue. It opens with a dinner of America Bridge, a group formed by David Brock, longtime Clinton ally. nytimes.com/2019/10/22/us/…
3. Clinton is probably too smart to want to re-enter the fray but she's also surrounded by many people who have an incentive for her to do so. If she runs, they're part of big project (one with lots of fundraising). If she doesn't they're has-beens.

5. Some thoughts on donor anxiety and why it's leading people into political fan fiction: thenation.com/article/money-…
