37. Hillary Clinton has spent the last eight years

Jan 2016

believing with every fiber of her being that she will be the Democratic nominee and then the next President. Eight, long years.

She had to take the SOS job to keep herself relevant and to boost her Presidential bona fides, but that's not the job she wanted. But she did it because she banked on the Democratic nomination being a cakewalk.

Eight years is a long time to spend believing that you're headed in one direction that has only one certain outcome.

Yikes!
