Senator Chuck Schumer to Hillary Clinton, “If you run, you’ll win and we’ll all win.”
New York Sen. Chuck Schumer on Saturday urged Hillary Clinton to run for president, calling 2016 “Hillary’s time.”
“Run Hillary run,” the Democrat was expected to say at an Iowa dinner, according to prepared remarks. “If you run, you’ll win and we’ll all win.”
Schumer’s comments about his former Senate colleague and the former secretary of State were slated for delivery at the closely watched Jefferson Jackson dinner, a high-profile gathering of Democratic Iowa activists.
Clinton, a top 2016 possibility and current Democratic frontrunner, has made a slew of public appearances recently. She’s hit the campaign trail for Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Terry McAuliffe, and given a series of speeches at universities and other events held by organizations including the Center for American Progress.
Schumer went on to paint Clinton as the party’s best hope for combating the tea party — a movement he slammed repeatedly in the remarks.
“With a strong platform and with Hillary leading the charge, we will vanquish the Ted Cruz, tea party Republicans in 2016,” he said. “And create a generation of Democrats who will make sure the middle class gets what it needs, our country advances and the torch held by that beautiful lady in New York’s harbor burns more brightly than ever.”
I kind of have to agree with Schumer here.
If Hillary runs, she WILL win.
And once she wins, we ALL win.
