History repeats with Clintons
Hillary short circuits the truth. Do you suppose that this is what Bill did when he proclaimed “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”? I have wondered for many years if they recognized that they had this trait in common when they were introduced in college.
We seniors for sure remember Bill, as he was the one who balanced the budget in part by taxing Social Security more. He had been elected because “Read My Lips” President Bush had promised no new taxes. My memory and history both recall this is just one of the things that gave him the nickname of “Slick Willie.”
I am sure that the vetting of The Donald has some surprises that the blue people are holding in reserve. Right now his demeanor and poor choice of words are giving Hillary an edge.
Will the women who are so tired of being underpaid and passed over vote for Hillary just to try and even the playing field? Or will the consistent M.O. of the Clinton team have the voters labeling them as habitual prevaricators? Many philosophers have written about how the past will haunt you.
