2018 has the potential to be a lot of fun come November. Or it could be a disaster. But if Democrats are seriously considering using Hillary Clinton to campaign on their behalf for the mid-term elections, then the Republican majorities in the House and Senate are likely safe. As bad as Trump’s poll numbers have been (because of the propaganda media,) Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers are even worse than Trump’s! A Gallup poll released the other day showed Hillary Clinton with just a 36% approval rating (lower than Trump.) It also had Hillary Clinton with a disapproval rating of 61%, higher than Trump. Please Democrats! Use Hillary Clinton to campaign for you next year!

Appearing at campaign events since her stunning 2016 loss, but some Democrats believe she would be a welcome voice in the 2018 midterms.
Despite polling that shows Clinton with low favorability ratings, they say the former secretary of State could help Democratic candidates in congressional districts she won last year.
“For me, it’s a no-brainer,” former Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman during the 2012 and 2014 election cycles, said in an interview.
“If she’s willing to go into those districts she won, she would be extraordinarily helpful,” he said.
“Trump’s numbers have only fallen in those districts, so you start there. It would be such a loss if she sat it out and a double loss if she didn’t go into those districts.”Clinton confidants — who have spoken to the former Democratic nominee about the topic in recent months — are aware of the potential pitfalls should Clinton choose to hit the campaign trail. Clinton herself, they say, is aware of the tightrope.
