2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What the fuck are you people thinking? [View all]GreatGazoo
(3,937 posts)209. My sense is that the Clintons love the game aspect of politics
so isn't so much that she thinks we can't sort out what is going on, more that she and Bill actually love proving their power to themselves.
There is a story that Hillary tells about an early date with Bill. They crossed a picket line and got a favor from someone in power to go into a museum that was closed due to a Union dispute and they had the whole place to themselves and loved THAT. There is an aspect of 'we're powerful and naughty, look how much we can get away with' that they share and find romantic and intoxicating.
