Hillary Clinton was right: The parts of America that support Trump are stuck in the past

54. Part of the problem with Bill Clinton is the he was too in love with .. Bill Clinton.

He seemed to like the power and attention and while he had some good policies and did decent things, his overarching goal was to be remembered as a good, powerful president.


Hillary on the other hand, seemed always to be thinking about what was right for the most people. Sometimes that isn't popular. I think a lot of people projected a lot of Bill's identity onto her. She was power hungry, she was not trustworthy. The fact is that she has been the same person since she came up through the ranks, after she ditched the "Goldwater Girl" phase, she has been a moderate to left leaning progressive with a special emphasis on the needs of women and children. That is not a bad thing, unless you are a wealthy person or someone who wants to keep women in a subservient role in society.

Those are the people who have really gone after Hillary. They are the ones who have smeared her with every bad thing that you could heap onto a politician. Hillary played the men's game of politics and succeeded and for that she was branded with so much hate.
