Actually, they just have different political styles. He's more conniving and she's more vindictive.

Some pundits say former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Clinton operate like a unified political animal. But a study of their TV and radio interviews reveals that gender separates the speech of the power couple, such that he "talks like a man" and she is "ladylike."
Well-known interviewers also treated each of the Clintons differently, possibly due to gender stereotypes and expectations.
Camelia Suleiman of Florida International University and Daniel C. O'Connell of Georgetown University recently examined three TV interviews and two radio interviews with the former president in June 2004 and three TV interviews and two radio interviews with Hillary Clinton in June 2003. All were conducted by the same journalists: Larry King of CNN, Katie Couric of NBC, David Letterman of CBS, Juan Williams of NPR and Terry Gross of NPR.
Sen. Clinton was nearly three times more likely to use "you know" than her husband, a "hedge" phrase that downgrades or diminishes the power of a statement. Previous research shows that women use hedges more than men.
She also used the word "so" more frequently than her husband, a word that is often used to underline or intensify what is said. This finding also goes along with previous work that shows women use intensifying words more than men and that this marks women and their language as powerless.

ANIMAL is the keyword here, lol.
Hitlery hides from any REAL interview. She cannot address real issues because they are of no interest to her. Aside from her avoidance of any substantive confrontation, this is the least of the multiplicity of dangers that this pair could represent to America.
Hillary is a political pig (apologies to all swine) and the fact that she hasn’t ditched her impeached cheating pig husband, makes her lower on the scale of pond scum.
Not that I’m an expert of pond scum.
she’s probably our next president, unless something unforseen happens.
middle-aged women and retired women are saying that they’re tired of not having a woman president.
they want one before they die.
my response is, i’d be ok with a woman, but a REAL woman, like margaret thatcher.
ANY woman who wants to elect some woman JUST because she’s a WOMAN is slime.....and stupid.....
agree.
i know a lot of women that think, oops i mean emote, that way.
Good. I hope she does become our next President. Along with the Democratic majority in both houses. Last time we had a Clinton in the White House and Democrats in both houses, they screwed things up so badly that we had a Republican majority for 15 years afterwards.
Mia-T : Wha da ya think ?
ouch!
dat hurts.
No, if the Bent One can’t hose you, there’s a little thing called Arkancide....
Tough love for the Republicans.
