Yep, or maybe Associate Director at some no name not for profit.

What if Hillary and Bill hadn’t married?

No difference for Chelsea Rodman-Hubble.

She would be a sleaze bag lawyer in Chicago, probably disbarred or in prison maybe went to Berkeley to teach.

Bill would be like my 50 year old professor at university - at Fat Dogs Rear (college town bar with $3 pitchers of Budweiser - Jerry Jeff Walker was on the jukebox) and the prof always left the gang early with a parting prize around 20 years old.

And the world was then and now would be a better place.

Curtis Sittenfeld likes to imagine the sex lives of presidents.

Ok, I'm done.

Disbarred ‘Slip and Fall” Lawyer, probably turned to blackmail and jailed like Avenatti

If she hadn't married Bill, Hillary would be a lawyer, professor or lobbyist. She wouldn't have gotten very far in politics if she tried for elective office. She only got as far as she did because her husband had been president.

If Bill hadn't married Hillary, he would still have become governor of Arkansas, but wouldn't have become president. He needed somebody to light a fire under him and give him the focus that he didn't have on his own.

Think FDR and Eleanor. If Franklin had married somebody he actually liked and got along with, he wouldn't have had the drive to get to the top. He needed somebody a little distant and off-putting to keep him going and so did Bill,.

For decades I’ve listened to Hillary’s detractors opine that if she hadn’t hitched her wagon to Bill’s, she wouldn’t have traveled so far. But the reverse could be truer. At one point in the book, a woman who works with Hillary tells her, “It’s weird you almost married Bill Clinton because he seems so unworthy of you.”

She wanted to be a DC lawyer but failed the DC bar exam in spectacular fashion. Of 817 applicants, 551 passed.

If not for the politically connected Arkansas wagon hitch named Bill Clinton, she would have ended up a lawyer in whatever state had a bar exam easy enough for her to pass.

I think she would have been involved in this;

Little Rock in the mid 80s got the nickname “Slam City” for all of the shady bond deals going on there. Can’t find a better article.

WTF would hit that? She is so ugly that she wouldn’t want to hit it. Liberal women are such a mistake of nature.

“They both would have ended up nobodies.”

I understand your point, and I know you didn’t mean it this way, but I have to take issue with the concept of a ‘nobody’. There are plenty of wonderful people in the world, who give of themselves to help others, and who are empathic and caring. They are not ‘nobodies’, and I would put their achievements at a much higher level than probably most politicians - irrespective of how many hours of TV time they’ve logged.

Hillary would have failed in politics, just like Michealle Obama. No personalities, no likeability factor. Just a bitch and a guy who wants to be one!

Nobody would have ever heard of Hillary Rodham if she hadn't married Bill Clinton.

For a woman that the left worships she's wholly without any accomplishments of her own. The only reason she became a senator was because she was married to Bill, likewise her stint as Secretary of State.

Heck, she wouldn't have even ended up on the WalMart board if she wasn't married to the governor.

One day there'll be a woman president, but hopefully it'll be one that got there on her own merit instead of because they were married to a corrupt political superstar. Hillary Clinton never had a job that wasn't because she rode Bill's coattails.

What if Bill had been raised by his real dad instead of being killed in a car wreck?

So this creature wrote a lesbian fantasy novel. How delightful. I bet it’ll fly off the shelves.
