I think it’s more about adulation that simple power.
She thinks she can and will reach not only the Holy Grail of ambition—to be president of the US, but she’ll be also be the first female president of the US.
That’s been her dream and ever since Bubba humiliated her, she’s considered it her due.
I think as we saw when she was Sec of State, there’s nothing special that she wants to accomplish other than being seen as a champion of girls and women, in the Eleanor Roosevelt mold—while being the first freaking female president of the US!
That is, her only interest in power is to decorate her legend.
She wants to be recognized and admired. That’s also probably the only thing that eases the sting of Bubba’s humiliations.
Hillary had dreams of being president long before she married the bent one and only hitched her wagon to the bent one to fulfill her dream of being president.
Hillary is a 1960s radicals radical.
She honestly believes to rebuild a new society you first have to destroy the old society.
She sees herself as being so superior to everyone else intellectually that once the US is destroyed if she is the one given the power she could rebuild a Utopian society perfect in every way which the rest of the world would follow.
She honestly believes she has the ability to unite the entire world with her as the leader.
