Chelsea Clinton Announces Plan To Run Against Her Mother In 2016 Presidential Primary
Â In an unexpected move, Chelsea Clinton has announced her plans to run in the presidential primaries in 2016. This will be the first time a mother and daughter have competed against each other for the official hot seat.Although she has no political experience, the 34-year-old says that her fatherâs time as president has put her in good stead.âOld Bill provided a good role model for me,â she stated in a letter to the press. âHe did some really good stuff while in office, but that Monica Lewinsky business â thatâs what stuck with most people. I know itâs not popular to say, but it kinda saved his reputation. Were it not for that public stain, the metaphoric one, not the literal one, heâd barely be remembered as the butter between the Bush sandwich. So I know what I have to do if things start going downhill.âShe also said that her motherâs position as secretary of state, as well as her own failed and current presidential bids, have only helped her cause.âMy momâs the favorite among the Democrats, even though no one likes her. Letâs face it â Iâm the only likeable Clinton left.âPolitical analysts are divided on what this fresh candidate will mean for 2016. A handful believe she has a chance, because the public are desperate enough to try anything that hasnât been tried before.âSheâll probably be shit, but we just cannot know,â said CNN correspondent Merson Mandzukic. âFor all we know it will be the best thing to happen to this country. Imagine, for example, that Sarah Palin had been our vice-president, or even president. Most of us shudder at the thought, but could a bumbling idiot with no bad intentions really be worse than some of the dross weâve had down the line?âOthers have been less kind. Fox reporter, Olga Brown, believes this is the worst thing that could have happened to politics.âIt breaks all the rules of politics,â she was heard complaining to a coworker. âA political career based entirely on the reputation of the family? George Bush, Sr. would be turning in his grave if he was dead.â
