Does Hillary deserve a third chance? In a word yes.

Hillary Clinton, if she wants to go through it all again, does deserve a third chance at the Presidency. In a word, yes.

In 2008, she won more primary voters than Barrack Obama and came in second.

In 2016, she won more general election votes than Donald Trump and the Electoral College denied her.

By the time 2020 comes along, President Trump (or Pence depending on how things develop) should be low hanging fruit for the picking with more of the majority realizing the Flim Flam was on them. There will not be any ridiculous Benghazi inquiries to moan about. By the way, how is that inquiry into Trump's botched Yemen raid going? There will not be any more inquiries into servers. By the way, how did Vice President Pence get away with the private AOL account thing? There will no longer be major accusations against the Clinton Foundation. By the way, how are all the conflicts of interests inquiries going with the President and his children? There will not be James Comey coming out 11 days before the election with an October Surprise. Clinton operatives should have learned their lesson and have their web pages and email accounts firewalled against hacking.

Andrew Jackson beat John Quincy Adams by ten points in the popular vote in 1824 and lost the electoral college. Most did not begrudge him when he came back for a second shot at the prize in 1828.

After losing to Benjamin Harrison in 1888, Grover Cleveland, already a one term President, became the only Presidential Candidate to serve two non-consecutive terms by winning in 1892.

Ill health forced 1876 Popular Vote Winner Samuel Tilden not to run again in 1880 after the Presidency was stolen from him.

Hopefully, one day, Al Gore will sit with historians and reveal why he did not run for the Presidency again in 2004 after winning the Popular Vote in 2000. Sympathy for what happened to him in 2000 could have carried him over the top in what was another close election.

So yes, Hillary Clinton, if she wants to, should have the opportunity to run for the Presidency again. Maybe the third time will be a charm.
