23. Nihilism isn't corruption.

So I wouldn't say Hillary Clinton is corrupt. Her motives, whatever they are, clearly do not involve money as an end in itself or she would have chosen the other Party.

People who choose the Democratic Party but act like she does have complicated motives. Unfortunately, the net result in her case is still despicable.

If it weren't for the Iraq War vote, I would be more willing to listen to her. But that was a boundary moment in American history with razor-sharp moral distinctions, and she couldn't see more than a millimeter in front of her face. And she still acts like that. Nothing has made a dent in that bubble of limitless self-regard and inability to see context.
