Donald Trump says he wants to run against 'crazy' Hillary Clinton again, tells followers 'she was so easy'
President Donald Trump, on Thursday, expressed his wish to run against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the presidential elections again. Trump made the statement while addressing a crowd at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa.
"Wouldn't we like to run against her?" Trump asked. "Who's tougher? Her, Crazy [Vermont Senator] Bernie [Sanders], Biden, Buttigieg? Who would be the closest? I don't know. Maybe we take another crack at Crazy Hillary, okay? She was so easy," according to Newsweek.
The former first lady, who was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, lost to Trump despite winning the popular vote in the presidential poll. Clinton, ever since, has considered entering the political arena and facing off with the Republican again.
"I think all the time about what kind of a president I would have been," Clinton said while speaking to BBC Radio in November 2019, "and what I would have done differently and what I think it would have meant to our country and the world. I will certainly tell you I'm under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it."
The former secretary of state, earlier this month, had also offered her opinion on Sanders, a 2020 Democratic frontrunner. "He was in Congress for years," Clinton said about Sanders in an upcoming documentary. "He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him. Nobody wants to work with him. He got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it." Clinton had received heavy backlash for speaking strongly against a Democratic contender.
Sanders later responded to Clinton's remarks on CBS News, saying "this is not the kind of rhetoric that we need right now."
"I am sorry for what Secretary Clinton had to say," Sanders said. "I know she said that nobody likes me, right? I mean, this is not the kind of rhetoric that we need right now when we are trying to bring the Democratic Party together to defeat the most dangerous president in American history."
