10. Let's for a minute suppose this is true

How would this supposed Clinton mafia have any effect on your life or that of the rest of ordinary Americans?
I continue to be astonished how much people here care about the fortunes of the political elite and the spoils of elections. It's almost as if you are talking about your own. I don't care about who is in or out with the political big wigs, if they get invited to parties or shunned, or if someone who people admire gets a cabinet appointment or not. I, like 99.9999999999999% of the rest of the country, have better things to worry about than the machinations of the political elite. So you go ahead and fret about the Clinton mafia. The rest of us will worry about civil rights, economic opportunity, social security, reproductive rights . . . you know, the stuff that doesn't make into gossip of the DC social set.
