She is no longer extremely ugly.

What on earth were the Clintons thinking? This question has been plaguing political watchers ever since Chelsea Clinton, in her first solo campaign outing for her mom last week, threw a punch at Bernie Sanders.
-SNIP-
But Chelsea? Such ungraciousness—and such disingenuousness—isn’t expected from Bill and Hillary’s only child. It cuts against not only her meticulously tended good-girl persona but also the deeply rooted mythology of Chelsea as the sweet, loyal, vulnerable humanizer of her ambitious, inscrutable parents. (For some, Clinton fille will forever be the sad-eyed teen binding Mom and Dad together during the summer of Lewinsky.)
-SNIP-
This is clearly a question Chelsea has grappled with herself over the years. It has been noted that, for college, she opted to go to Stanford, at the far edge of the continent, and immerse herself in the subculture of tech rather than politics. After grad school at Oxford, she tried on a variety of non-political jobs—consulting, finance—before doing a second stint in grad school. She even flirted with a career in journalism (which must have given her media-hating mother such a migraine). But after that flurry of activity, where did she land? Neck-deep in the family business, running her father’s foundation and immersing herself in her mother’s presidential dreams.
Such choices have not been made without ambivalence. “It is frustrating, because who wants to grow up and follow their parents?†Chelsea told Fast Company in 2014. “I’ve tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents.â€
But the Clinton gravitational pull is strong. And, her many talents notwithstanding, there is arguably no job for which Chelsea is more qualified—or, for now, more needed—than professional daughter.
But woe be unto her mom’s campaign if she behaves like your typical political veteran and picks any more fights.

Other than subterfuge and selling her name, there are none.
A $10 million dollar home reveals she hasn’t.
People grow up by earning and building their own life.
She is a pampered nut-job.
Webb should have done better by her.
Bear in mind Webb ain’t no prize either. lol
Cue for someone to post pics of the drunken good-girl Chelsea.
Well, it is from “The Atlantic”. Not exactly known for their non-partisan views.
“flirted with a career in journalism”
Is that what you call a no-work, essentially no-show job that pays $600k/year for 3 years?
Um, that's 20 years ago and there is a whole generation of voters who grew up without seeing that.
I saw her briefly on TV this evening.
She is no longer extremely ugly. She is no longer slightly ugly. She is now just plain.
I think she must have had a series of operations. I don’t think she could have just grown out of ugly.
From some of the pictures I’ve seen of her, it looks like she’s grown OUT a bit too.
She’s going to end up looking like a Hillary Weeble clone.
She is no longer extremely ugly.
LOL
No. He wasn’t. I do look back at folks like him left in the Clinton’s wake. They all are forgotten as Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea bask in the limelight.
She deserves to be judged on her own merit, not blamed for her parents weaknesses. However, the first few chapters don’t read very well.
“Good Girl persona?” I’ve never seen Chelsea that way. Of course, I’m no democrat or socialist wannabe.
At least he is still above ground, without his family suffering the loss of a loved one and the stigma of a "suicide".
"It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them." Deuteronomy 32:35
who cares about this illumati weirdo
I completely agree with that.
Too many aren’t above ground too. That’s too true.
Depends upon the definition of “extremely”.
I do. If Hillary wins and Schumer or Gillibrand gets a cabinet post, she's already on the short list to be my next senator.
