曝出这个重磅消息的，是希拉里的老朋友，同时也是她的前政治顾问---菲利普•
莱内斯(Philippe Reines)。
他在面对《政客》的采访时说，“据我所知，希拉里有可能参加2022年的美国总统，虽
然可能性较小，但是绝不是不可能的事。”“虽然希拉里曾公开表示她不会再参选，但
以我对她的了解，我觉得她不会这么遵守这样的诺言的。”
作为希拉里的密友，以前共同作战的同事，在采访中说出这种话，不难想象这个消息绝
非谣传。
而对于这个惊人消息，希拉里的发言人至今也没有发出反对的声音。
两次竞选美国总统，两次落败。
8年前她声势浩大地几乎拿下民主党总统候选人，最后败给年轻的巴拉克·奥巴马，那
时候她61岁。
而8年之后69岁的她卷土重来，再次输给了没有任何执政经验的唐纳德·特朗普。
而再过8年之后，77岁的希拉里，还会有机会吗？ |

in recent weeks, but the debate over the issue is nearly as old as the
United States, according to The Christian Science Monitor.
