In no particular order, here is a questions about Clinton investment advice, and who is giving Bill Clinton all that money to start with, which is a relevant question when one considers that a first spouse’s funders and backers could conceivably expect favors from his wife, the president. I know, I know, it’s unimaginable that such things could happen in a Clinton administration - what am I thinking - but still…it’s a pertinent question. Also, as much as I’d like to believe that Hillary Clinton means to give up powers once she ascends takes control of the WH, I must shrug and say, “who gives up power? Why should we believe this?” The press is still not asking Mrs. Clinton any questions about Norman Hsu, or his seemingly extensive and impressive catalogue of Clintonian memorabilia - although, actually, I don’t know what there is to say about it - and they are (typically incurious when it comes to Clintons) not at all offended that she is using images from 9/11, which are only offensive when Rudy or W uses them. For Hillary - A-OK!, and no we in the press don’t care if you’ve never been very clear about your actual 9/11 experience of the day. Or, you know, eavesdropping. Or, you know, the idea of a serious presidential candidate bringing Sandy Berger onto the team again, or bothering to remind anyone why that’s kind of a sleazy idea.

She knows the MSM won't do their jobs and will let her get away with anything. Hillary will do anything it takes to gain power.

She says and does whatever is tactically most useful at the time. Everything she says, everything she does, is calculated. Her only Achilles heel is her inability to conceal her contempt for the electorate. All politicians are by nature opportunists, but the Clintons have made political opportunism a tenet of faith. There is no God but Expediency, and Hillary is His prophet. The real issue is that Hillary is not bound by any constraints at all. She says and does whatever is tactically most useful at the time.

Classic example, the Clintons claim to oppose the politics of personal destruction while reveling in it. But the Clintons are famous for saying one thing, while doing the other.
