(8,419 posts)There is a reason both Bill and Hillary always seem to find themselves in these situations, THEY LIKE IT!
Both are very intelligent, know the risks along with the future impact. But both of them are driven to take the risk, and then manage the chaos created by their actions.
Hardcore Hillary supporters point at Sanders and Republicans as the problem, but the problems exist due to the Clinton's actions.
Compare and contrast this with the Obama's, same amount of B.S. thrown at them, (if not more) it doesn't stick because there in never any reality to the attacks. With the Clinton's a plethora of actual questionable events exists so even unfounded attacks stick to them.
Many have noted that Bill was the best Republican President in a half century, and I think Hillary is to the right of Bill. They both represent the typical republican politician, rules don't apply, when called out they become the victim.
Finally they continue to do great harm to the Democratic Party and brand. Very sad, because I think she will likely pull out a win against Trump. Which will then embolden her and she will continue to make questionable decisions. Resulting in a loss in 2020, thus providing Republicans another 10 years of gerrymandered districts, resulting in another decade of gridlock.
