The following is a faux memo, though its contents are based upon my interviews with people close to Hillary Clinton. They spoke on condition of anonymity because: a) Clinton has not decided whether to run for president; b) she has not authorized anybody to talk about 2016 deliberations; c) her friends, family, and advisers are still in the early stages of debating strategies. This represents one point of view:
To: Hillary
From: A Few of Us
Subject: Anti-Hillary

The last we spoke as a group you made it clear that your mind wasn’t made up about 2016. We get it: You’re tired and it’s too soon. And you’re right: by this time next year, you’ll know for certain whether you’ve got the fire in your belly, and we’ll be better able to judge voters’ attitudes toward “a third Clinton term.” (Sorry, we know you hate that phrase, but it makes a point.) Everybody on the team agrees you deserve some space.
