New Hillary Scandal Checks All the Boxes on the Clinton Controversy Bingo Card

187. I agree.

I am a strong Hillary supporter and I don't see anything wrong with this post. Are we going to just ignore any stories that are negative and live in a bubble?

That said, I think politics is an expectations game. The anti-hillary people are expecting a level of "purity" that does not exist in any politician elected to offices so far. Have you heard about the Bernie Sanders story about his wife Jane and Bernie pressurizing the bank to give a loan? Have you seen Bernie's taxes? Why do you think that is?

In order to survive in politics today, you need (1) to make and give favors (2) Fundraise, fundraise, fundraise (3) Be able to work with people who have diametrically opposite views from you and make progress. One of the main reasons women can't shatter the glass ceiling is that it's all an old boys club - it means going and playing golf together, referring friends for positions, and essentially you-help-me, I-help-you. This "purity" test is not going anywhere.

That's how the game is played. If you want to change the game, you have to be in position of power and try to change it, and in order to be in position of power, you have to play the game.
