The Family Business

John Brummett opines on Hillary’s “experience” and does her years in Arkansas as the First Lady and then in the White House constitute hands on experience. Of course, it is the family business for the Clintons and Hillary was involved morning, noon and night!

Hillary stands before us to ask for an exclusive third term of a presidency she essentially claims to have shared for two previous terms with a guy who was the vote-getting front man.

When Clinton speaks of health care, she does so as one who actually once tried to run it, and perhaps learned valuable and applicable lessons. When she speaks of trade, she does so as one who didn’t want her husband to press NAFTA. When she ponders foreign relations, or the pressures between third-way and old-way domestic Democratic politics, she does so as one who has pondered them in active and essentially equal partnership with an internationally popular former president who has long navigated that tight rope between third-way and old-way Democratic politics.

Of all the Democratic candidates, Clinton offers the least experience in terms of a formal resume. But, off paper, she has the most actual and practical experience.

She can’t actually write on that resume - co-president, 1993-2001. But she can plainly imply it. And a lot of people seem to be buying it.
