Hillary IS the cliche
by cousinavi

Clap, clap...point, point...
Between LYING about NAFTA, Bosnian snipers, the Irish peace process, Chelsea dodging falling debris on 9/11, the Family & Medical Leave Act, and playing the race card in Kentucky and W. Virginia, as well as the repeated faux accents, Hillary demonstrated two things: That she was able to get away with campaign tactics and errors that would have seen any man hectored off the national stage, and that she is exactly the sort of character described in the article - willing to say or do anything to get what she wants; to burn the village in order to save it.

The idea that this characterization is simply a backlash against a strong, ambitious woman utterly ignores that facts and circumstances of Hillary's rise to national prominenece and her own hand in managing to fuck it all up even after starrting out as the heavily favoured front-runner.

That anyone, after HRC's shameful conduct throughout the primary race, could continue to support her, speaks directly to the truth of the characterization. Sadly, it's not a cliche in this case. Not at all.
