I agree that she should have worded that better. No former President is broke unless Bush is the exception. But, they pulled themselves up. They both had law degrees and experience in governing, so, it soon was alright. However, there are many things that could go wrong with that scenario, like the books don't sell, and they do not get the bookings for speeches. There were a lot of what ifs. They were both very smart and worked their tails off.
Stop this running down of our best candidate. This is really ridiculous.
I lived in Arkansas when she did. We worked right across the street from each other. No, I was not her friend, but she had visited my law firm, so I was familiar with her. She was as ordinary as I was. Our parents worked hard.
Frankly, she might not want the hassel that she is getting, and could decide not to go through with it. Of course, there goes our chance of having a female President because, believe me, no one else will ever be considered knowledgable enough to run. The democrats could well lose where she would win, and the SCOTUS will be even more red. God help us, we are our worst enemy.
