Angelo Tsakopoulos, a close friend and top political donor to the Clintons as well as the Democratic Party, confirmed that Hillary Clinton will seek the Democratic nomination in the next Presidential election.
Tsakopoulos told Greek Reporter that the former Secretary of State will run for President in 2016, putting an end to speculation over whether Clinton will make a second bid for President that has been circulating around the internet and international media.
“Hillary will be our next President and she will be a great one,” Tsakopoulos told Greek Reporter at a private gala in California this past weekend.
Asked if this was confirmed by Clinton or whether it’s his personal view, he replied, “I talk to her husband, and he confirmed it. She will run.”
I really think most people already assume this is the case, though there are some, many even on the Democratic side, who refuse to accept it.
To me the most obvious example was the launching of Hillary's new rather subdued campaign website. That and the fact that the Obama supporters raised money to pay off her old campaign debt.
I know there are some who have raised concerns about running Hillary in 2016 but I am not one of them.
The WORST thing that can happen to this country in 2016 is for the presidency to fall back into the hands of the Republicans, Having Hillary run almost ensures a victory for Democrats.
That to me takes precedence over any doubts or concerns I may have.
The only way to make more progress is to have a progressive leading the way, and Hillary certainly qualifies as that.
