Per your post stating, "Clinton cannot put the genie back in the bottle." I am thinking that this man does not have long for this world. The look in his eyes can no longer keep up the farce that is his life. I think he is tortured by shame that this is his legacy and he can never save it. Hillary will never be President.
The man cannot continue to sugar coat and fake his apparant self-disdain with his own 'legacy' much longer. It will eat out his inner core. The truth can never be surpressed for so long. History will be very unkind; and the man knows it.
