Even though we already know all the history with Clinton, to see most of it recounted in one telling is pretty amazing, and moving.

The business about how she failed the D.C. bar and went back to be with Bill was something I didn't know before, though, and gave a lot of insight into Hillary the person and the subsequent decisions she has made for herself and for her family.

Highlights I remember:

* One candidate was inspired by Martin Luther King, the other by Roy Cohn. That contrast was so devastating I had to rewind and watch it again several times

* Trump's lifelong friend says Donald told him he has essentially been the same person since first grade. So much for claims that he changed his views on women during the campaign.

* Trump's father told him to be a killer. Only killers advance and dominate. Donald has applied that to every facet of life. Trump's father was disappointed that the older son was not as ruthless as Donald

* The racial discrimination in the early '70s was very real. In fact, there were code numbers or letters for each demographic and the code associated with blacks was always rejected

* Hillary was already a star in grade school. A new girl was seated next to Hillary and another girl told her how fortunate she was to be next to Hillary Rodham

* Hillary's New York girl friends thought she was nuts to return to Arkansas several years after college to reunite with Bill. Some went back with her during the transition. There was an Arkansas football game with the pig hats on their first day back in Arkansas. They were thinking, this is the life she's trading for?

* Bill and the other men would leave Arkansas dinners to talk politics on the side. Women were not invited.

* Hillary was treated very poorly by local media since she didn't fit the stereotype of a governor's wife in Arkansas. She grudgingly changed her appearance and stayed out of the limelight when Bill attempted to regain the governorship

* Trump learned very early that all you have to do is say something repeatedly and people will become conditioned to believe it. The debates were less surprising to me after hearing that tidbit, and likewise his speeches on the stump.
