In no way is this political. I do not understand why Hillary Clinton didn’t divorce Bill Clinton long ago. He publicly and repeatedly cheated on her which must have been horribly humiliating. Paula Jones, the woman in Arkansas (the first bimbo eruption), Monica Lewinsky. And there are reports of women since. He was with a blonde woman in Australia on 9/11. He went to the Caribbean for sex parties on a private jet. (The same scandal in which Prince Andrew was mentioned). You know there are more over the course of 20 odd years; the media is just keeping silent on it.
Other women have good reasons for not divorcing their cheater. They have young children they don’t want to hurt. Or they would be hurt financially. Or no one else knows and so they are able to keep up pretenses for social reasons. Or it only happened once.
Hillary has none of these reasons. Eliot Spitzer’s wife divorced him. The governor of South Carolina’s wife divorced him. Maria Shriver divorced Arnold. Tipper divorced Al. Why not Hillary?
Is she afraid of losing the campaign donations from Bill’s wealthy FOB? Is it the money she gets from the Bill Clinton Foundation? Is it that Bill still draws a crowd to campaign events?
Hillary purports to stand up for women. Not standing up for herself seems contradictory.
And if you say she still loves a serial cheater, that says a lot about some sort of lack of self esteem or delusion or something. (Not a psychiatrist, here).
Politicians are criticized for the way they conduct their personal lives all the time. (ie. Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter) I do think it’s political fairgame.
Who’s to say she doesn’t have any dirt of her own?
I can’t weigh on what goes on behind closed doors. Who knows what their relationship entails, what they’ve agree mutually on, or what both of them want to keep secret.
As odd as their marriage may seem from the outside, they have some sort of bond or need to be together. I do think that they both value “being an intact family”. In that regard, Hillary is more traditional than we may think.
I never question what works for other people. From what I see it seems that they care about each other.
It also could be they have an agreement in regards to sex outside their marriage. I doubt that it would help either politically if they were public about that
He’s a political asset. Analysts have commented on that. And yes, they may have a bond. She’s not dependent on him for the same self esteem others can be. The currency is different.
Palin’s phlosopical stand doesn’t cut much slack for unwed mothers. And her daughter made money promoting the very behaviors she clearly didn’t hold herself to. Big difference.
I think she may not like men, who knows because I’ve heard rumor that the female Russian spy came dangerous close to a high senior official. The article did imply Hilary, IIRC.
To be honest, I found the example she led is a very poor example for women in general. Stand by your man my A.
I admire Michelle Obama more than Hillary. Obama doesn’t mess around with Michelle biceps. I think he’ll lose in a arm wrestling.
Hillary is a smart cookie. She is very practical, but Hillary isn’t thought of as a paragon of morality. She has a sky full of clouds around her past, and her dealings, though I don’t believe she’s been accused of marital infidelity. She was a Yale lawyer that “hitched her wagon” to a rising star. In my opinion she was willing to trade off his many many indiscretions in exchange for the life, and future that was likely to come with Bill. Now that she is where she is, it is much like her comment about the quickly discredited Benghazi video story- “What difference at this point does it make?”
My belief is that her marriage was/is not a big love story, but rather a negotiation.
I’ve often thought the same thing, and can’t wrap my mind around how you could live with a serial cheater. But I’ve read that there’s a legitimate chemistry between the two, they respect each other. Whatever. Not my circus, not my monkey
Plus, there are odder public marriages out there. Why does Anthony Weiner’s wife stay?
Whether you like them or not, whether you agree with their politics or not, they are both highly intelligent people. I think they truly find each other intellectually stimulating and have a marriage of the minds. Finding some one you can converse with, someone who is your intellectual equal can be a stimulating and rewarding thing. I do think there is mutual respect there and that they “get” each other. I’ve seen marriages built on much less. Who am I to judge?
I don’t think there is a vast left wing conspiracy keeping this stuff quiet. And no black baby has ever appeared.
My recent thought about Hillary is that other women of her age and income would have had some work done face-wise already and I think she can’t because of all the attention she would get in the press.
I think she and her husband have a real partnership and they probably talk shop quite a bit if and when they are ever together.
