..concerning her bottomless ambition, and I'm not sure DU is the venue for such arm chair psychology, but as a lifelong Democrat I'll wade in:
I think the Monica/Bill stuff was unbearable, because of the relentless public humiliation that went on for years. Even after he was out of office. It was pretty horrifying and went on and on. And on. And was always public. Did I mention humiliating? Anyway, I think it changed her, kind of killed off something. It's partly why she always sounds so fake. She's lost the usual ability to actually feel anything. And she determined to set right their legacy in historyto get them back into the WH-- and to give the finger to all those persecutors. This Shakespearean drama is understandable but not good for the county.
Not going to get into a debate with anyone about this, but it's my theory.
