-Assuming the DNC doesn't play any favorites again, could Hillary even win the primary? I have a hard time seeing her defeat Warren, Booker, or Sanders. It also wouldn't shock me if the DNC played favorites again, because deep down I don't think they want their party to turn into the socialist party.
-Her health was questionable this election, will her health be better in 4 years?
-Will she even have any $$ in her war chest? Sounds like the Clinton Foundation has already seen a significant drop in donations. She couldn't even beat Trump when she out spent him by a massive amount.
-Do the Dems even want the Clintons around anymore?
Overall, Hillary running again would be a win for the GOP. There obviously wasn't enough enthusiasm for Hillary this election, it will be even worse if she is the candidate in 2020. Not only that, but if she were the candidate she would prevent the few bright spots the Dems have from running.

She did lose, but there are a couple reasons I think she might.
1. IDGAF about this whole recount nonsense, but a lot of people seem to. When the election season starts rolling around again, don't you think it would be pretty easy to revisit the idea that she beat Donald Trump in the popular vote?
2. The DNC did seem to be creaming themselves at the notion of being the party of "firsts." I could certainly see them still wanting to put the first female president into office.
3. You can bet that, after the upset of this past election, and with all the hurt feelings, need for safe spaces, and outraged media personalities, there will be a significant uptick in the push to get people out to vote. I think a portion of the people who would have voted for Clinton may have gotten lulled to sleep by the narrative of a slam dunk win.
I'm not saying she'll run for sure. And I'm not necessarily saying she'll win if she does. But I'm saying I can see the story line for its plausibility.
