Hillary Clinton Might "Help" Dems Lose New Election

The worst nightmare of the Democrats is about to come true. Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail. Again.

Hillary Clinton wants to play a role in next year’s midterm elections. It’s just not clear yet what that role will be. 

Same as her previous role? Helping the GOP win.

Clinton has already launched a PAC aimed at helping congressional Democratic candidates in 2018, signaling the former first lady, senator and secretary of State is ready to help her party with fundraising. 

The only people the Clintons help are themselves. Hillary didn't help the Dems fundraising when she was running. The only thing she's doing now is diverting money. Again.

She also is looking at the House districts she won in last year’s presidential contest against Donald Trump as part of an autopsy of her failed campaign, according to two sources who have spoken to the former secretary of State.  

It’s at least possible she’ll lend a hand on the campaign trail — particularly in the 23 districts held by Republicans where voters preferred her over Donald Trump for the White House. 

“She's very well aware of how she performed in those districts,” said one longtime Clinton confidant who has spoken to the former Democratic nominee. 

“No one can argue that Clinton helping in those areas wouldn't be helpful,” the confidant said.

Oh they can.

This plan sounds only slightly better than trying to play Gypsy Rose with Chelsea. 

Hardly anyone was enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton as a candidate. Just because she won in a particular area doesn't mean that voters there like her very much or would be more likely to support a candidate associated with her. 

Considering her underwater trust and likability ratings, which continue to be underway, the Dems would have to be insane to put her on the campaign trail. So don't count it out.
