In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton ‘not inclined’ to run for president in 2016 [View all]blm
(112,920 posts)19. The fall she took proved to be very serious. The double vision she's still experiencing
after the concussion probably has her more concerned privately. That type of fall is scary business for us 50+ folks. I had one around the same time and am still recovering, and, as far as I know, I didn't suffer the blood clot she did.
I think she will do her round of interviews and then disappear to recuperate - if her fall is still effecting her after some months she may decide against running altogether. It would be smart for Dems to be open to either a Biden or HRC run. Biden probably wouldn't be considering it right now if HRC was fully recovered, but, he probably knows a heckuva lot more about her actual condition than we do. She may not feel up to running as much as the media assumes.

But she does need better people this time around. And she needs to control those people.

If they don't realize how sexist their comments are, then they are even more insensitive.

After she gets much needed sleep & writes a book, she'll run, unless she runs into health problems.

Perhaps he requested the interview because he didn't want her last public image as a cabinet member

No, this is real. However, if I said this in 2008, it would not have been. But it is now.
