Dick Morris floats possibility of Hillary Clinton entering …

A former adviser to Bill Clinton suggested Hillary Clinton may embark on another bid for the White House ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

The Democratic primary will resolve itself into a series of ethnic and affinity-group contests," Dick Morris said during an interview that aired Sunday on John Catsimatidis' "Cats Roundtable" radio show after being asked for his predictions on the potential 2020 Democratic field of candidates.

"In the past, the groupings that lead up to the nomination have been largely geographic: The West, the farm states, the South, the rural states. Then it became ideological: the Left against the center against the Right. Now I think its going to be largely ethnic," Morris said. "Youre going to have a female primary, in effect, which is going to be Elizabeth Warren against Kamala Harris and, possibly, with Hillary Clinton. Youre going to have a left-wing primary, which will be Bernie Sanders maybe against Beto ORourke. Youre going to have a black primary, which is going to be Cory Booker against Eric Holder against Deval Patrick against Kamala Harris. And then youll have an establishment primary of Biden against Hillary."

Morris also issued a warning to the GOP following the 2018 midterm elections in which it struggled to gain the support of college-educated, white young women.

Morris, a Republican pollster and political strategist, helped steer Bill Clinton to victory in his 1978 Arkansas gubernatorial and 1996 presidential re-election races by encouraging Clinton to pursue moderate, "third way" politics.

Morris was famously dropped by Clinton as his campaign manager during the 1996 Democratic National Convention after it was revealed he had been involved with a prostitute, who he let listen to calls he had with the then-president. Morris, who has since forged a career as a conservative, anti-Clinton commentator, also insisted in 2012 that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney would beat former President Barack Obama in a landslide.
