Snip from the book:
And perhaps as the next race approaches, a voice within tells you that you dont want to have to go through all the misery of raising all that money in small increments all over again. You realize that you no longer have the cachet you did as the upstart, the fresh face; you havent changed Washington, and youve made a lot of people unhappy with difficult votes. The path of least resistance of fund-raisers organized by the special interests, the corporate PACs, and the top lobbying shops starts to look awfully tempting, and if the opinions of these insiders dont quite jibe with those you once held, you learn to rationalize the changes as a matter of realism, of compromise, of learning the ropes. The problems of ordinary people, the voices of the Rust Belt town or the dwindling heartland, become a distant echo rather than a palpable reality, abstractions to be managed rather than battles to be fought.
I know this is not "evidence" but when you think about it, she frames it like she's being criminally charged ---- what about ethics!
She's only worried about being proven guilty ... but ethics , i'm thinking ethics don'tmatter much
