others got there on their own. and in my view, she didn't.

what did she do when in office?

what are the accomplishments?

i can't think of a single thing.

the aim seems to be to occupy the office rather than to do something with it.

previously i'd have said she would introduce healthcare reform. but that happened.

she might now say - i will reform the constitution and she'd have my ear. or she might say i am going to reform the nsa but we already know she's useless on that issue. or she might say i will reform wall street but she is obviously beholden to it.

she will say platitudes about the fate of women in countries that will do nothing about it whatever she says. no one will go to war on that issue.

there's nothing important she will do. except be a woman in the office.

warren brings things to the party. she is something. we know who she is. she will take on wall street. she will support a new tax model that reduces inequality. clinton is defined by the risky positions she avoids. so that in the end, there's no there, there. of if there is, who knows what it is.

Hi Cactus Flower,

Folks said Carpetbagger Hillary didn't have a prayer becoming a NY senator.

She proved them wrong despite the odds.
She toured the entire state, listening to people.
She didn't take anything for granted. And she did this not long after the humiliation Bill laid on her after Monica. Proving she can take a punch.
She won twice.
And... gained the respect of many republicans.

Scandals were swirling and Gennifer Flowers was speaking out about her affair with Bill. Hillary went on 60 Minutes & stood by her man~
She didn't ride Bill's coattails, she shored him up & made it possible for him to win.
