Michigan was not an outlier

[Carolina]

54. She's not being punished for Bill's record

She owns it.

When she ran for POTUS in 2008, she cited her 20+ years of experience which included First Lady of AK for 12 years (during which she was also a corporate lawyer for Walmart), FLOTUS for 8 years and US Senator for 7 years.

She is precisely part of the Clinton legacy because of their two-for-one mantra, and her reflected 8 years of experience derived from his administration and policies. She helped found the DLC and she supported: NAFTA, the Telecommunications Bill of 1996, Welfare Reform, and overturning Glass-Steagall. She and Bill kept Alan Greenspan at the Fed, placed the then Mr. Goldman Sucks himself Robert Reuben as head of Treasury and hired as financial advisor that abominable Wall Streeter Larry Summers (who lost $1.8 billion from Harvard's endowment!). Despite the TIME cover, that Clinton Triumvirate destroyed the economy for main street but saved Wall Street and especially Goldman-Sachs, their common bond. And they remain Billary's BFFs.



She could never have carpet bagged her way to the NY Senate seat had she not been FLOTUS. And even if she had chosen to disavow Bill's record, once in the Senate, what did she do... She voted aye for IWR, the Patriot Acts I & II and Bush's Bankruptcy Bill.

She can run, spin and confabulate, but she owns it all including her disastrous tenure at the State Department where she sold weapons to Saudi Arabia (home of bin laden and 15 out of 19 Sept 11th hijackers) and where her love of regime change left Honduras and Libya in shambles.

$Hillary's experience is largely derived from having married Bill; and her judgment when she has wielded power has been awful.

So she's not being punished for Bill's record; she's being punished for her own, and she has earned that punishment!
