If you recall, around 2012-2014 there was much talk from Bill and others about how HRC was the "world's most admired woman" or some such.

She attained this (highly questionable) distinction because the Sec. of State position allowed her to adopt an air of being "above politics"
-
Which is ironic because she clearly ran the State Dept. in a highly politicized manner, as emails and other info subsequently demonstrated.
-
An email released this week showed how State Dept. staff plotted ways to garner her "soft media buzz" -- i.e. apolitical-seeming prestige.
-
The "apolitical esteem" boost enabled her to accrue just enough favorability to get through the D primary, despite being relatively disliked
-
And if she'd spent the BHO years in a highly-charged political role, she may have never been positioned to run in 2016. So blame BHO. Fin.

She would've been constantly positioned against BHO, creating drama. Sec. of State role removed her from domestic politics.

I don't "follow leads" from politicians but tanks for the bad faith advice.

As I make claims you can't contest on the merits, you make scurrilous comments such as that.
