292. Well, she's already clinging to her religion and her guns, apparently.

Everyone thinks she's had everything thrown at her that anyone could possibly throw, but that is not so. She was only a secondary target while Bill was in the WH, not the bullseye. I don't know if everything will come out, though, given they seem bent on avoiding a primary. Her involvement with The Family, for example, is something a Democratic primary opponent might mention, but not a Republican general opponent.

And, would Bill have made that remark comparing being a pampered U.S. Senator to being on the plantation or claimed "hard working white people" as his constituency while running against an African American (Pennsy, IIRC). Or bemoaned being broke on leaving the WH? I don't think so. Hell, I wouldn't have done it and I'm not supposed to be a politician.
