Run Hillary Run!
With
more than two years still left to President Obama’s second term, who is going
to run for the next election is already a hot topic. Some of the people looking
to get the democratic nomination for the 2016 Presidential election include
Vice President Joe Biden, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Maryland Governor Martin
O'Malley. However, what most people are interested in right now is whether or
not Hillary Clinton will take a second stab at the Presidency.
Senator
Schumer knows it is never too early to start campaigning, and saw the perfect
opportunity to start on Saturday while at an Iowa Democratic Party fundraiser
in Des Moines for Hillary Clinton. While giving a speech, Schumer clearly
stated his support for Clinton and urged her to run in the 2016 election.
Stating,
"It's time for a woman to be
president…And so tonight, here in Iowa, and I won't get this opportunity again,
I am urging Hillary Clinton to run for president and, when she does, she will
have my full and unwavering support."1
Schumer believes that
it will be Clinton’s time in 2016 just like it was Obama’s time back in 2008
and that she can be the one to defeat Ted Cruz and other Tea Party Republicans
in the election. Schumer has vowed to give Clinton his support and as we can
see from previous instances in his career, like during the government shutdown,
Schumer is good at sticking to his word and his party. While that might also be
the result of Schumer being an active listener to his advisers it is important
for Schumer to maintain that image because it makes cases like this more
credible. So as of now one thing can be certain, if Hillary Clinton decides to
run for the 2016 Presidential election, Senator Schumer will have her back the
entire way to the White House.
