For me, it’s not about wondering how a couple of “hicks” could rise to power but how a couple of white trash folk could rise to such power. Because that’s what they are, white trash, no matter how much money they have they can’t buy class.
I’ve known some hicks that are quite respectable. Some can be quite respectable. White trash never is though, by definition. Which only deepens the mystery.
Maybe not so much of a mystery though. Money can’t buy class but it can buy power. At least temporary power. So that’s perhaps the most disturbing truth no one wants to face: a couple of white trash people somehow finagled themselves a ton of money, and thus weild power.
Of course it doesn’t take much, beyond cunning and the will, to make a ton of money, if one has no morals. Which they don’t. Since they are white trash.
Yeah white trash is a better description of the Clintons. I stand corrected.
