Which Of These Three Clues Makes It Clear Hillary Is Running?
Hillary Clinton is running for president — there can be little doubt.
To the nay-sayers who claim she hasn’t made up her mind, I offer these clues.
First, the announcement just an hour ago via Politico that Clinton has penned a new memoir, due June 10, available now for pre-sale on Amazon. The book, which doesn’t even have a title yet, is just listed on Amazon as Hillary Rodham Clinton New Memoir.
The website states, “Hillary Clinton shares candid reflections about key moments during her time as Secretary of State as well as her thoughts about how to navigate the challenges of the 21st century.”
Usually, memoirs are not forward-looking thoughts about how to navigate the challenges of the future, but a soul-searching recollection of the past.
Next, this past Monday’s fundraiser at the iconic L.A. LGBT bar/nightclub, West Hollywood’s The Abbey, by the very active Ready for Hillary Super PAC.

And finally, this past Friday’s tweet, posted by Clinton herself of Hillary posing with the very anti-Putin Pussy Riot:
Great to meet the strong & brave young women from #PussyRiot, who refuse to let their voices be silenced in #Russia. pic.twitter.com/7JVkZ9TYx3

Of course, the Pussy Riot pose drew a ton of Tea Party rancor and sexist “jokes.”
Get ready for Hillary, because she’s running.
What do you think? Would you vote for her? Will she win?
