The advice to her is laughable, though:
Nothing in Hillary Clinton’s past suggests she’s ever been that dissatisfied with the way Washington and/or the country works. For pete’s sake, while secretary of state, she had Huma Abedin under a “special contract” that allowed her to be a consultant for private clients while keeping her $135,000-per-year State Department job.
The status quo has been very, very, very good for the Clintons. They have a net worth estimated at $55 million; Hillary Clinton’s speaking fee begins at $200,000, with Wall Street banks and private-equity firms most frequently picking up the tab: Goldman Sachs, KKR, the Caryle Group. Far from an impassioned reformer, eager to overhaul a system of crony capitalism and back-scratching, Hillary Clinton is our political and economic status quo in human form.
Expecting Hillary Clinton to be a transformative reformer of Washington is like expecting Donald Trump to become a Bolshevik, Kim Jong Un to renounce power and become a monk, or the New York Yankees to push for the end of free agency in baseball. Powerful people rarely if ever decide to completely overhaul the system that made them powerful.
Beyond that, the notion that she can somehow transmogrify herself into someone “warm,” and “human” is ludicrous.
The quote beginning “Nothing in Hillary…” – that’s not from the article, is it? Is it your own comments? I agreed with it, but just trying to get this straight…
Sorry, the link for that one was missing. I’ve added it.
Jim will be along any time now to champion the IRS going after Hillary and these banks of the 1% for campaign finance violations and bribery right? It may be technically legal but after Citizen’s United, the IRS has to control shady businesses pumping unlimited money to politicians. It doesn’t matter that campaign finance violations are dealt with by the FEC and BRI very by the DOJ. The government is one big happy family and sometimes the IRS has to pick up the slack.
