READY FOR 'THE SPAWN OF HILLARY'?
Hillary Clinton may not be the criminal the Democrats run in 2020, but if this one is picked the Clintons will still be in the mix...
Terry McAuliffe 2020? Name one Democrat who can stop him
Terry McAuliffe is ambitious, wealthy and power-hungry with nothing to lose
By law, Virginia governors can only serve one four-year term. Thus, on January 13, 2018, Governor McAuliffe will become a former governor after only four years of elective experience. But do years in office even matter anymore? Besides, McAuliffe's strength is his political credentials that far exceed other potential 2020 Democratic candidates. Furthermore, in party leadership circles McAuliffe is a living legend.
For starters, McAuliffe currently serves as chairman of the National Governors Association (NGA). McAuliffe's best friend, President Bill Clinton, was NGA chairman during the 1986-87 term.
In 2008 McAuliffe was chairman of Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign.
Between 2001 and 2005 he was chairman of the Democratic National Committee. During that time in 2004, McAuliffe served on the Clinton Foundation board of directors.
In 1996 he served as co-chairman of President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign.
McAuliffe is putting out feelers for his 2020 presidential run
The leadership vacuum at the top of the Democratic Party is tailor made for a power-player such as McAuliffe, and he has twice hinted about a 2020 presidential run.
Good news — bad news, McAuliffe is best friends with the Clintons
For decades, Terry McAuliffe was the Clinton's go-to-money-man-fundraiser-extraordinaire. Then, as governor in 2016, he delivered Virginia's 13 electoral votes to Hillary's column and greased the skids that anointed Virginia senator and former governor Tim Kaine as her running mate.
The good news is that in one day before lunch, McAuliffe could reassemble any part of the Clinton machine worth saving. By afternoon he could enlist his own vast network of loyalists, and by happy hour, "Help Terry Dump Trump 2020" will be ready to roll.
But the bad news is that McAuliffe is perceived, rightfully so, as a "son of the Clintons." Certainly, Clinton fatigue would be McAuliffe's biggest obstacle, along with his dubious past as a wheeler-dealer businessman.
If McAuliffe "went big" as hinted to ABC News, he will attempt to avenge Hillary Clinton's 2016 defeat. McAuliffe could joke, "You wanted her but you got me." Who better than a close family friend who for decades has stood in Washington's center court playing hardball power games?"
