Dear Mrs. Clinton

    Dear Hilary Clinton,
    
  I am a fan. A big fan. I like how you have made your own choices. Fought your own battles. Stood your ground against bullies. Shattered ceiling after ceiling after ceiling. I am proud to say you are a fellow female in this male-dominated world. Women cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

  Now.....please go retire somewhere. Stop talking about a possible presidential run in 2020. Or any political office anywhere. Find a nice cottage on the beach somewhere. Or move closer to your grandkids and spoil the crap out of them. Travel the world. Climb Mount Everest. Do anything but do it quietly and out of the public eye. 

  There are many people who need a shot at the top job. Both male and female. Up and comers who need to become front and center with the country. You and your husband have had your hours in the spotlight. Move aside. Let someone else fix the United States problems.

  It may sound harsh, and I say this with love, you will lose and worse. Worse is Trump winning again which he most definitely will do if you run. His base hates you more than you think and will come out in droves to see you humiliated again. Trust me. Most of us don't want to see that happen again.

  The country has had two Bush presidents. It doesn't need to have a second Clinton. Especially now where your country is fighting for its very soul. It needs new blood. New leadership. New vision. All metered out with sanity and calmness. The polar opposite of what you have today.

  Please think about the Cory Bookers and Kamala Harris's of your party. Let them show the country they have what it takes to lead you all down the right path. They may stumble a little at first but they will not fall. Or fail.

  In closing Mrs. Clinton, please remember there is life after politics. Most of us can't wait for retirement. Perhaps you should follow our lead.

  Ang
