Hillary has been making a name for herself since she was 22. Long before she met Bill while campaigning for McGovern in 1972
By the time she graduated from Wellesley in May 1969, Hillary Rodham was already such a notable figure that she was featured, along with four other speakers from four other schools and excerpts from their commencement addresses in the June 20, 1969, issue of LIFE, in an article titled, simply, The Class of 69.
LIFE With Hillary: Portraits of a Wellesley Grad, 1969
div class="excerpt"]
Intelligent, intensely curious and, from a young age, driven to find a way to somehow contribute to the world around her, Hillary Rodham enrolled at Wellesley College in the fall of 1965. It was there, in Massachusetts, that the moderate Republican underwent her transformation (she might characterize it as an evolution) to committed Democrat.

(3,123 posts)She broke her word to the President of Wellesley College, she was rude to the Commencement Guest Speaker, Senator Ed Brooke who basically gave a ho hum graduation address and she gave off the cuff remarks challenging him and giving herself the limelight.
She hasn't changed one bit.
It's all about Hillary, all the time.

(3,123 posts)She neglected to tell us that little factoid for decades.
Probably because it doesn't 'square' with her image as 'the smartest person in the room', that's she has been cultivating for decades.
My honest to God impression of her is that she has never seen a microphone in a public setting she doesn't want to grab.

(13,877 posts)absolutely fascinating. Lots of smart people get on a track that doesn't lead to the presidency. Many smart people become too smart...get full of themselves and start acting dumb. Bernie is smart, as well. So is Bill Clinton and most politicians. They most all have law degrees and other significant talents.
Smart also does not mean ethical, trustworthy or a servant of the people. She has most definitely leaned on men to get her to where she is. This is her own battle now, so we'll see even with the enabling of the entire Democratic Establishment what happens.
But that will pale as to the GE. Personally, I don't think she'll make it. And it has absolutely nothing to do with her native intelligence. She has made seriously flawed choices.

(13,877 posts)DUers who think someone with a low post count has the political IQ to match. Since we are mostly anonymous, someone with a degree in political science at some time will be at 1 post. On here, they would be transferred to the netherworlds until such time as their post count qualifies them for stating their opinion.
Silly oneupmanship.

(16,974 posts)Just pointing out our some very interesting coincidences. Lot of dead accounts came to life in the last few months. Lots of new Hillary accounts showed up to smear and insult Bernie supporters in the last 90 days. The amnesty just happened to also happen then. And Brock started to pay for posts about then also. It is no secret that the Admins are very proud Hillary supporters and they control the accounts.

(8,976 posts)Your account has several features I have seen lately in a few other posters. 14 years ago you signed up and made exactly 11 posts-for a new poster you have to make 10 replies to existing posts and then your 11th post can be your 1st original post and you are a full poster. So anyhow you opened a full vetted account and then went completely silent for 14 years until you started posting in the last 3 months.
And if you think anyone who checks that should not have suspicions then you are crazy...but if you have an explanation....
