'Rodham' Novel Portrays Alternate Universe Hillary Without Baggage...Or Bill
Newsbusters ^ | May 18, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

There is good news for all those liberals out there enduring extreme angst over Hillary Clinton losing her race for president in 2016. In an alternate universe Hillary has a much better shot at winning that contest because she would be carrying less baggage than the real Hillary.

And the main reason is that in the alternate universe as fantasized by author Curtis Sittenfeld in her novel Rodham, due to be released on Tuesday, she dumps Bill Clinton before they even get married. Yes, apparently the reason that the real-life Hlllary has been so ethically challenged was due to Big Bad Bill, or at least that is the way Sittenfeld portrays it.

True that. I know a few people who have met Bill Clinton and all have said he was very charming. Of course, charm and a complete lack of actual human conscience and empathy are the stock in trade of all highly skilled and successful con artists.

Hillary Clinton is as personally charming as a starving rat. On her own she'd have probably struggled to make County Prosecutor in one of the richer suburbs of Chicago. And probably ended up being beaten AGAIN for higher office by another, albeit far less intelligent, grifter like her hubby. Name of Barack Hussein.

BC is a total scumbag but Hillary would be nothing without Bill getting a BJ. She was never that smart or ambitious. She was re-invented by handlers and always a carpet bagging imbecile. Over a billion dollars was spent on her and she still lost. The left can write all they want but she will NEVER be president.

I don’t buy the idea that billy jeff corrupted her. She’s absolutely immoral, billy jeff is more amoral, IMO. Because he has no moral compass, he’ll follow along with hillary whose compass points toward evil. Everything hillary touches, she corrupts. She make Richard Nixon look like a piker.

Hillary was a smart girl.

Then why didn't she manage to pass the DC bar?

She was corrupted by some evil leftist minister she was closely involved with, which was before Bubba the Rapist. Probably sold her soul to Satan at that point.

She was always ambitious and always interested in politics. She wouldn't have gotten far on her own, but she wasn't the kind of person to stay on the sidelines. There are a lot of ambitious people who don't have what it takes to get elected, but that doesn't make them any less ambitious.

Clinton fits pretty well into the group of Democrats elected to Congress last time, but not so well into the political environment 30 or 40 years ago - not on her own anyway, without a husband to provide cover for her. In any case, then or now, her personality always limited her appeal and how far she could rise.

Aren’t you amazed at the mental hold the Clintons have on the liberal mind? Now here’s a ScFi alternative history book on Hellary without Slick. Clearly the “smartest women in the world” was denied her potential by the marriage to Horn Dog Bill. Of course if she as that smart & capable she would have dumped him pronto. Its not like he started prowling due to male mid-life crisis.

Liberals live in such a fantasy world!

Liberal absolutely adore their fictional presidents. No baggage, lots of liberal speechmaking, and any conservative opposition consists of one-dimensional ogres. (who remembers Martin Sheen’s President Barrett from West Wing?)
