Hillary Says She Won’t Run for President Again. Good Riddance

Hillary Clinton recently remarked she would never seek the presidency again. Good riddance.

The former First Lady, senator, secretary of state, and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee has graced the national stage for over 30 years, and the country could not be more ready to see her depart. From stoking fears of a “vast right-wing conspiracy,” to denigrating millions of voters as a “basket of deplorables,” Clinton was undoubtedly one of the most divisive political leaders in modern American history . . . that is, until Donald Trump came along. She managed to lose to him, and probably is the only person who could have pulled off this impressive defeat.

On the subject of achievements, Clinton’s are few and far between. Liberal commentators will often go to great lengths to extol her résumé without ever actually discussing what she accomplished in these posts.

Scandals are a different story. From Whitewater to Email-gate, she certainly kept the country engrossed in her political and legal quagmires. But alas, the time has come for the country to wipe itself clean of her. Perhaps even with a cloth?
