Democrats find themselves with a deplorable dilemma — whether to reach into their no-talent “bench” for a 2028 standard bearer or turn to the 78-year-old party matriarch for yet another comeback bid.
Saddled with an aging constituency of white, privileged, female boomers who fill up “No Kings” rallies, Democrats are in such disarray that some are looking to Hillary Clinton to come to the rescue.
The former secretary of state is coming to New Hampshire this month to headline a major fundraising dinner — fueling speculation about her White House intentions and generational complaints from progressives who view her as an out-of-touch retread.
Clinton insists she isn’t running, but her appearance in the Granite State on April 25 — her first in the state in seven years — has triggered grumbling that she doesn’t meet the party’s liberal litmus test for candidates anymore.
But Clinton sounded recently like an unconfident Little League coach looking at a bench full of weak 12-year-olds as she assessed the current Democratic presidential field.
