It’s an odd cultural inversion.
The French first lady, the one in a role where wives traditionally ignored and overlooked their husbands’ peccadilloes for the greater gain of keeping their marriages intact and running the Élysée Palace, has fled her gilded perch, acting all-American and brimming over with feelings and feminist impulses.

Oh yeah Dowdy labels Hillary as Ruthless, Secretive, Opportunistic and an Ethical corner-cutter...and then leaps to thinks/hopes it will endear voters to her.
She must be living in Pol Pot’s parallel universe.
