Could Hillary Clinton … be thinking of running again in 2020?
"Raising doubts about legitimacy of election, even w/out overturning result, is part of Clinton's plans to keep her options open for 2020

3rd Times the Charm?!
"Hillary for re-election in 2020 would be incredible for Republicans. She’d be back, she’d be twice as annoying (which is almost mathematically impossible), and she’d have half the enthusiasm (again, almost mathematically impossible). Meanwhile, she’d suck all the oxygen out of the room, preventing other candidates from rising. Her corruption would ensure that any future Trump corruption would be negated as a campaign issue. Republicans should pray for more Hillary."
"It won’t happen, with 99 percent certainty. For all the ink spilled since the election about Democrats being lost in the wilderness and divided about the direction of the party, they seem to have grasped two points fairly well.
One:
They need to rebuild their appeal to the working-class white voters who broke overwhelmingly for Trump."
Two:
Hillary Clinton was a bad candidate. She was the essence of Wall Street establishmentarianism in a populist climate. She had no message beyond “Trump bad.” She was, almost uniquely among prominent Democrats, nearly as unpopular as Trump himself. She made some incredibly poor strategic choices, starting with her decision to neglect Rust Belt states like Wisconsin down the stretch in order to make a quixotic bid for Arizona. And she was saddled with a criminal investigation involving national security that nearly sank her candidacy this summer and may well have damaged her badly the week before the election.
Put those two points together — Hillary’s terrible and the party needs to win back blue-collar voters — and how on earth do you justify a “Hillary 2020” campaign? If Democrats go all out to win back whites in the Rust Belt, they can surely do better than a Washington dinosaur known for getting paid six figures for speeches by bankers. If instead Democrats go all out to try to duplicate the “Obama coalition” again, i.e. turning out upscale liberals, young adults, and minority voters en masse, they can surely do better than an elderly white lady who took to campaigning with LeBron James and Beyonce in Ohio to try to create a reason for black voters to show up for her. No matter which direction Democrats go, the Ryan/Sanders populist direction or the Obama direction, Hillary’s a bad fit. There is no “Hillary direction” and there never has been because Clinton doesn’t really stand for anything.

I'm personally counting on the stubborn globalist, elitists who seemingly never learn, who believe the 'stupid people' just don't get it, and who are determined to ram THEIR OWN plans/demands down the people's throats no matter what.
I for one will be encouraging the DNC to blow the dust off of the Washington Dinosaur, march the elderly white lady out on stage with her walker, declare 'It's REALLY her turn now - 2020', and rig the Primaries again so she is once again 'the Chosen One'.
