The scene is Hillary with Bill in their Chappaqua, N.Y., study sitting by the fireplace enjoying her afternoon glass of chardonnay. Chelsea’s in the room with them.
HILLARY
You know Bill, I’ve had such a successful first three years, bringing back our economy from the edge of the abyss that Obama left us in, I think I’ll try for a run again.
BILL
Sure dear.
Bill looks at Chelsea for a little help.
CHELSEA
Come on, Mom. You’re kidding, right?
HILLARY
Whadda you mean?
She takes a sip from her stemmed glass and cackles a bit.
BILL
You didn’t win the last election. What makes you think you can win this time?
HILLARY
I won the popular vote and the people have told me I’m the real president.
BILL
Doesn’t matter what they say, you lost dear. We aren’t in the White House. When’s the last time you saw your therapist?
HILLARY
Shut up Bill! I don’t need therapy. That clown in the White House does!
CHELSEA
Mom! Stop it! You’ll wake Charlotte. Relax now and let’s talk about our book sales and your granddaughter.
HILLARY
Of course, dear. We all love Lotte. She’s a doll. We’ll set up a nursery in the White House so you can work for me next term. You do seem to have a lot of time on your hands these days since The Foundation closed.
Chelsea rolled her eyes and looked over at her father for help.
BILL
Trump won! Get over it! You can’t beat the man. He’s improved the economy and it’s the economy, stupid!
HILLARY
How dare you call me stupid!
BILL
It’s a saying, Hillary. Remember when I beat George Bush Senior? That phrase was coined by Jimmy Carville. .
HILLARY
Oh…yeah. I remember him. Ol’ Jimbo. Maybe I can get him in my cabinet next term.
Chelsea and Bill shared frustrated glances.
BILL
Sure dear. Whatever you want. Why not go take your afternoon bath now? You seem a little off today.
HILLARY
Whatever Bill. I’ll think about my next campaign slogan. “I’m With Her” really worked out well last time, but I should come up with a fresh one. How ’bout “I’m Sticking with Her” with a dollar sign with an arrow going up^ through it like the economy did?
BILL
That’s a winner. You nailed it! How do you come up with these ideas?
HILLARY
It’s a gift. Wonder if I should keep that same guy on my ticket or get a woman this time? Women power is in right now with the #metoo movement. A two-woman ticket would really break some more glass in the ceiling.
BILL
I wouldn’t put emphasis on that movement especially with what they’ve put me through. It could conjure up a lot of old memories that we’d have to explain away like bimbo eruption and Epstein. Not to mention your pictures with Weinstein that have surfaced.
HILLARY
Oh poo. You always find the negative, Bill.
Hillary wobbled out of the study down the hall toward her guest bath. Both Bill and Chelsea shaking their heads in unison whispering she’ll never accept her loss.
Day in the Life of Hillary Considering a Run for Second Term.
