“I suppose you are discounting the possibility of a Freudian slip on her part. Could be unwise. Remember that she does have a history of being involved in, at the very least, a cover up of a murder - the rubout of her erstwhile law partner and reputed past paramour, Vince Foster!!!”
Look, I’d LOVE to believe it that way, but, reading the full quote, it’s just not the big deal many are making of it. I’m also not saying she isn’t capable of harboring the worst feelings and designs, just that she is too shrewd to make them that obvious.
Agreed.
...she is too shrewd to make it that obvious.
It isn't all that obvious. That's exactly why we have over 500 posts on this lengthy thread. What she really meant is subject to the interpretation of the listener.
As for her shrewdness, even with her, it can diminish in cases of fatigue, exhaustion, sleep deprivation, etc., which a lengthy presidentional campaign can produce. Hence, the possibility of a Freudian slip.
