Marketo’s Marketing Nation Summit

Tuesday, April 8, 2014

Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke today at Marketo’s Marketing Nation Summit in San Francisco, California. She gave brief remarks, then began a Q&A period. During this session, she was asked whether she would run for president in 2016. As usual, she said that she was “thinking about it.” However, she went a little further to suggest a reason that she is hesitant: increasing partisanship. Clinton said, “I would be the first to say we’re having a political period of, frankly, dysfunction. I saw it from afar as secretary and it was disheartening and even embarrassing to see people arguing about letting us default on our debt.”
