The question again, that comes up around the world is what you experienced during an interview on Wednesday in Thailand. Let’s roll that.
Will we ever get to see you as president of the United States?
Wow. That’s not anything I’m at all thinking about. I’ve got a very demanding and exciting job right now, and I’m not somebody who looks ahead. You know, I don’t know, but I doubt very much that anything like that will ever, ever be part of my life.
So, it’s wait and see.
No, no, no, no. I…
Never say never.
Well, I am saying no.
For now.
Because I have a very committed attitude toward the job I’m doing now.
Now.
And so that’s not anything that is at all on my radar screen.
So, you know, I guess we don’t have to worry about a free press in Thailand. Right? They kept coming at you.
That was a great, it was a great show. It’s one of the things that I’ve been doing around world is, these interview shows. But the answer is no. I don’t know how many more…
But you didn’t say never.
Well, you know, I say no, never, you know, not at all. I don’t know what, what else to say.
Are you saying you wouldn’t entertain another run?
I have absolutely no belief in my mind that that is going to happen, that I have any interest in it happening. You know, as I said, I am so focused on what I’m doing. And, you know, I think that the interest in sort of the political dynamics is, you know, obviously fascinating, not just here, but around the world. But, you know, the more common question that I’m asked which I don’t think gets enough attention, because it’s so important in these emerging democracies, is how could I have run against President Obama all those months, and as hard as I did, and now work with him and work for him?
Right.
And a lot of countries can’t believe that two former competitors could now have made common cause on behalf of our country. I think that’s the story. And that to me is a message that we’re trying to send to the rest of the world that this is where democracy works.
Do you still think about the campaign?
Not really. I sometimes, you know, see people who work so hard for me and who are very committed to electing a woman president someday, and obviously, you know, that provokes emotions in me. But no, I’ve moved on. I think it’s important to move on. I’m not somebody. I tell countries all the time, don’t get mired in the past. So I’m going to set an example and not do it either.
Any regrets?
No, none at all. I gave it all I had.
