16. Hillary would never have won a Senate seat if Bill hadn't been president.

She had never been outstanding in any field or prior endeavor and, of course, had never been a New York resident.

It always strikes me as odd when her supporters include her 8 years as First Lady as "prior experience" and then try to claim that she knows more about government than Bernie, who has 33 years government experience, including 8 years as mayor and 25 years in the U.S. legislature, working hard and winning reelection over and over again. He never won office because of a famous family member or highly placed connections. Her supporters speak of him as an untested newcomer because he wasn't a household name until recently. For many of them, you don't exist until you hit People magazine.

The Clintons seem to consider public office the family toy, something you get if you have enough money, connections and popularity. They have no goals beyond "getting it." They show no interest in serving the people of this country. They are neither inspired nor inspiring. There is something fraudulent about them.
