Hillary Clinton’s sole argument for being elected President is that she is a woman. Her campaign strategy is to argue that it is time to break the glass ceiling. The theory is that since we have elected a black man it is time to elect a woman. Like Obama she has no real qualifications for the job. Hillary is the classic example of someone running primarily on name recognition. In her case, her last name.
Unfortunately for Hillary the man who gave her all of the power in her life is the man who is about to destroy her presidential ambitions. Hillary is the classic example of a woman who married power. If she was not married to Bill Clinton no one would even know her name. It is well documented that Bill Clinton is a serial philanderer. It appears as though Hillary’s primary function in the Clinton White House was to suppress bimbo eruptions. She raised stand by your man to a whole new level.
But things are different today. Perhaps it was the exposure of Tiger Woods. It may have been the Ray Rice video. It could even have been the disgusting revelations about Bill Cosby. It probably is a combination of things including the internet. But it is no longer cool to cover up the sexual misconduct of star athletes and rich celebrities. Public opinion has changed. They now want these people exposed and they want them punished. That is very bad news for Bill Clinton. It was never a question of whether or not he had behaved badly; it was merely a question of whether anyone cared. Now, for the first time, they care. The following article in the Daily Mail is devastating for Clinton:
The problem is that this is all too believable. Nothing about this is inconsistent with what we already know about Bill Clinton. Women have come forward with accusations about him before, but they were ignored. The real glass ceiling was the one defending liberal Democrats like Bill Clinton from accusations of sexual misconduct. That ceiling has been shattered and it will never be the same.
Expect the Clintons to fight back. Bill may even make another “I never had sex with that woman” speech. No one will believe him. They will attempt to find some convenient Republican to throw under the bus. The good news, so far, is that Epstein appears to have been pretty much devoted to providing good times to liberal Democrats. So far, no Republican names have surfaced. That may leave the Clinton’s with no convenient Republican to blame. Ouch!
This almost seems too good to be true. It is hard to imagine a better way to start the New Year than to see Bill Clinton get credit for all he has done. That is particularly true when one realizes that Hillary will go along for the ride. It is still hard to imagine, but the glass ceiling has been shattered and anything is possible.
