10. Lady MacBeth now comes to mind AGAIN. . .
. . .knowing there is no rational explanation for a Hillary-legal-honorable strategy to get the nomination.

Haven't read Shakespeare lately? Here's a summary of the tragedy of Macbeth and his Lady. . .genius writing that distills the dynamics of a power-seeking tragic flaw:

http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/macbeth/canalysis.html

The notes' insight into this tragic flaw applies to the Clintons IMHO:

"These three attributes—bravery, ambition, and self-doubt—struggle for mastery of Macbeth (and Lady MacBeth) throughout the play. Shakespeare uses Macbeth (and Lady Macbeth) to show the terrible effects that ambition and guilt can have on a man (and woman) who lacks strength of character."
