Hillary was never 'the smartest woman in the room'

Remember back when Bill Clinton was President and Hillary was his co-president?

Back then, the ever-slavish media regularly referred to her as “the smartest woman in the room."

That was never true. Not even close.

She was never a feminist heroine because she “was no Tammy Wynette” and did not “stay home and bake cookies and stand by her man.”

She was always just a mean, bitter, unattractive woman with narcissistic delusions of her own abilities.

And after all the intervening years, when she was Obama’s Secretary of State (a pity appointment because she lost the election to him –better to keep her inside the tent), she further proved she was not the smartest woman in the room.

She was always only interested in achieving ever more personal wealth and power; Bill was just a vehicle to that end. Bill was a bright but unserious man who muddled through his two terms, most of which were spent trying to escape, or at least ameliorate, the media’s attention to his many scandals, from Whitewater to Monica Lewinsky and all the others in between (“bimbo eruptions,” cocaine use, murders, sexual abuse accusations, the Clinton Foundation, etc.).

Hillary, on the other hand, was always focused on advancing her own power within the deep state. She did and still would sell out her best pals for money and/or political power.

The Clinton Foundation was a scam, a grift. The foundation raised millions of dollars from foreign sources for favors granted when she was Secretary of State. Little of the money allegedly raised for Haiti after that nation’s horrific earthquake ever reached the Haitians, nor was it spent on reconstruction there.

The Clintons are loathed in Haiti for good reason. The Haitian people know they were used and abused by Hillary Clinton. (Perhaps 5% of

if she got into Wellesley in the 1960’s she was no dummy, at least when it comes to book smarts.

Maybe she was. She went from nothing to being a multimillionaire, who is to this day adored by many people.

The problem is with the word “smartest”. Because it doesn’t reflect the pure evil in Hillary’s nature. Is there a word in English that means smart + wicked?

Probably the most evil with the biggest mouth

The dumbest people in the room are still the ones fooled by the media’s lies that Hillary was the smartest. Liberals like to pretend that they’re “intellectuals” because they love power and are corrupt. Only smart people are corrupt and powerful, right?

Not even if she was the only occupant.

I read her college thesis on Saul Alinsky. It was competent high school level. Elite schools like to recruit from other parts of the country to contribute to prestige. (That's why I applied to, and got accepted to U of Chicago from Connecticut) While I am sure her grades were fine at her public high school in Park Ridge, Illinois. She is likely the kind to pile on extra-curriculars to beef up her resume for her college application. That is often a tie-breaker among applicants.

She did do well in her college grades and got into Yale law, so she is likely well-above average (not smartest in the rooms she is typically in) and does the work. At U of C, and on the debate circuit. I found that "the smartest people in the room" were often not the people with the best grades. Hillary Clinton failed the District of Columbia (D.C.) bar exam on her first attempt, but she went on to pass the Arkansas bar exam the same year. So brilliant does not come to mind.
