...Kennedy “had slashed Hillary worst of all, delivering a pivotal endorsement speech for Obama just before the Super Tuesday primaries [in 2008] that cast her as yesterday’s news and Obama as the rightful heir to Camelot,” the authors wrote. “Bill Clinton had pleaded with Kennedy to hold off, but to no avail.”
The couple’s political hardball — and groundwork for a potential Hillary presidential run in 2016 — began behind the scenes in 2008 after she lost the Democratic presidential primary to Obama, and it ramped up in 2012 as the president struggled to defeat Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Bill Clinton applied his own version of the “friend in need” adage, offering letters of recommendation, endorsements and advice to potential and established allies — with the expectation the chits will be cashed in for the 2016 race.
Immediately after her 2008 defeat, Hillary aides made a spreadsheet of those who burned her.
“She and Bill would have at their fingertips all the information needed to make a quick decision,” the authors reported. “So that friends could be rewarded and enemies punished.”
Punishment came in the form of Bill backing the opponents of Obama backers — even four years after his wife’s bitter 2008 campaign....

“Immediately after her 2008 defeat, Hillary aides made a spreadsheet of those who burned her.”
...I just watched the movie “All the Kings Men.” This is the way they live and breath.
“I have wondered where would be now if Hitlery had won”
Had Hillary won you wouldn’t be reading this, and no I’m not trying to be funny.
This sounds like a “cover” story intended to mislead people into believing the “dirt” the Clintons have on people is from somewhere other than where it is from.
Obamas new man at the DoJ’s civil rights division main job is going to be getting the “dirt” on dems.
It’s the same kind of “dirt” the Clintons had on dems. during Clinton’s impeachment which caused all the dems to fall into lockstep and support Clinton and not impeach him.
If they don’t support Hillary the same way they supported BC, it’s “Scorched Earth”.
“Scorched Earth” is wipe out the dem party for starters.
That award is for amateurs the Clintons are professional liars to their bones.
Of course they are!
After all, Obama derailed Hillary on her trek to her coronation.
Hell hath no fury ...
Remember, they use the ‘crash and burn’ and politics of personal destruction methods of political campaigning and addressing political enemies.
“2008 primary Hillary was winning. The Clintons had pics of Obama in Muslim dress-—but Uncle Teddy apparently called the Clintons and warned them not to use the damaging pics. Soon after, bleeding-heart Teddy made his speech glorifying the moron now ensconced in our WH.”
And let’s not forget that Hillary’s campaign was the one who started the “birther movement.” My own take on that was she DID have the goods on him — but consider they both travelled the same filthy sewers in Chicago politics. I think he told her “look, I’ve got you dead to rights regards x, y, z that could put you in JAIL with the Arkancides. Shut up, I’ll take over and make you Sec. of State for your backing down on the B/C.”
I am not convinced that Killary is going to Run. I think that they would prefer to be kingmakers and puppetmasters then actually be in there at her age. Maybe she has the fire to go the distance on the White Hut, but does she want to be a follow-on to Obastard and have that POS kibitzing on “her time”?
