Mayor Hillary Clinton? Insiders leak plans

• http://www.popsci.com

What's next for failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton?

Months after her stunning loss to President-elect Donald Trump, insiders say Hillary still hasn't gotten over the defeat.

Now, they say she's eyeing a unique and atypical revenge plan — becoming the next mayor of New York City.

The story was first leaked to insiders to Newsmax, which reported Thursday that, "Barely two months after Hillary Clinton lost the presidency to Donald Trump, she is being urged by major Democratic donors and leaders to make a bid for New York City's mayor and challenge incumbent Bill de Blasio."

The position would put her squarely in Trump's backyard — in control of the city where most of Trump's business interests are located, and in charge of the police department where the president-elect plans to spend his time off during his first term.

The insider leak comes six months before the city's Democratic primary. de Blasio, whose short mayoral term has been plagued with a half-dozen federal investigations over donor kickback schemes, has reportedly lost favor with big time Democratic donors in New York City — and some critics are speculating it is because of de Blasio's inability to payback what was promised.

Clinton and de Blasio were previously close, but multiple sources have reported that the Clintons grew resentful of the mayor's reluctance to support Hillary over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders early in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.

So why would Hillary consider such a strange revenge move, which would be a political step backwards for the former secretary of state?

Speculation runs rampant.
