One of the most widely circulated post-election rumors about theClintonsis that HillaryClintonwill resume her political career by running for Mayor of New York City against incumbent Bill de Blasio. With an FBIinvestigationintohis campaign fundraising looming large over his bid forre-election, the opportunity could be Clintons saving grace after her embarrassing defeat in November.

De Blasio has taken hits forClintonbefore. During her presidential campaign, de Blasio took the blame for a racist joke the two made during an annual New York City Press Dinner. Well, look, it was Mayor de Blasios skit. He has addressed it, and I will really defer to him because it is something that hes already talked about,Clinton told Cosmopolitan.

Since Clintons election loss, her loyalists have been desperate to revive the Clinton image.Though Clintons presidential campaign ended in defeat months ago, the arrogance her campaign injected into the Democratic Party has yet to subside as her loyalist supporters fail to recognize thelessons that the defeat should have taught them. These Democrats remain blind to the damage Clinton has inflicted on the party and are eager to continue with their unabated praise and admiration. Every tweet Clinton has sent from her account since the election has received coverage from mainstream media outlets. These outlets have also praisedher daughter, ChelseaClinton, for her tweets opposing Trump and have also fueled rumors speculating a futureChelsea Clintoncongressional bid.

In New York City, supporters desperate to resurrect Clintons career have begun postingHillary For Mayor signs. However, if theDemocratic Partywants to optimize their chances of recouping the drastic losses they suffered under the Obama administration, it would be wise to suppress Clintonsfuture political plans. Outside of her cult-like fan base, Clinton remains widely disliked among American voters.

Even some moderate Republicans who have defected to theDemocratic Partydue toTrumpare repelled by Clintonism and the Clintons reputation of corruption and scandal. Hillary Clinton is the only politician who seems to be routinely discussed by fans in terms of what she deserves vs. what the country does, Business Insider Senior Editor Josh Barrotweeted. What the country needs is for the Democrats to get past the Clintons and their toxic brand. So, the best thing for Hillary to do is nothing.

Voxs Matthew Yglesias, who advocated for Clinton throughout her campaign, has called for Democrats to stop elevating the Clintons as spokespersons for the resistance against Trump. Chelsea Clintons Twitter account is Bad For The Democrats, he tweeted. The initial launch of Hillary Clinton into big-time politics made sense because Bill Clinton was super-popular. Leverage a popular brand! But the Clinton brand is currently not popular at all. Time to let it go!

Given the pervading sense of entitlement from Hillary Clinton and her avid followers, they are unlikely to let dreams of a Clinton resurrection go, and the Democratic Partywhose favorability has been trending downwardsince the electionwill continue to suffer.
