It will damage her throughout her administration. She is not as crafty as Bill.
@kevindavis "She is not as crafty as Bill."
That is incorrect. I have watched, twice, the CNN film of Hillary's history from her early years of life through the Clinton presidency. I was amazed at her history of actions in Arkansas. She is the brains behind Bill Clinton. She is extremely smart. After Bill was elected governor, he lost the next election for governor. She developed a plan to get him elected again, she directed the whole thing and it worked to get him back in office for years, reelected over and over.
Plus, education in Arkansas in those years, was the pits. She put together a plan and education standards in Arkansas were raised dramatically. That was all her doing that, not Bill. When Bill followed her directions, he became more and more popular. When he followed his personal goals, he got in trouble, and the worst of that was his having affairs with women. She had to dig him out of trouble when that happened.
Watching that film, it was evident she wanted something for herself, doing something worthwhile on her own, not being in his shadow. That is why she ran for senate. She visited every county, listening to the people and that is why she had so many votes in that election.
I feel Bill Clinton would have been an "also ran" except for her directing him. One can not agree with her politics, her various scandals, but it is a mistake to think she is not smart and just hanging onto Bill's coattails as many think.
