"The Clintons Are Amazing"

The Clintons are amazing. They have somehow grown very, very rich through public service. Other politicians have done well by doing badly, but the Clintons are in a league of their own. As the second most disliked politician running for President, according to polls, one wonders why Clinton needs to keep on keeping on.

The answer is: that is what grifters do. A grifter swindles you, but a good grifter can get you to thank them for taking your money. Grifters are not just thieves, but parasites. They generally hijack another person’s accomplishments and use them for personal enrichment. Clinton was married to a President and parlayed this role into a lackluster Senate career, a failed bid for President, a disastrous term as Secretary of State, and now another run where despite having the field cleared for her, is still struggling.
...
Clinton has lived the Way of the Grifter on such a large scale we can recognize the signs from her life...The grifter rides the ideas or accomplishments of someone else to power. The really good grifter (like HRC) can somehow manage to turn the “Clinton administration” into a joint presidency, even though she was not . . . President.
...
The grifter will attack others for the very things she is doing. HRC has amassed great wealth in public service. She starts attacking the “rich” and though she takes money from the most established players in American, she attacks the establishment. She accuses Sanders of being too “unsteady” to be left in charge of foreign policy, because the policy she supervised in places like Libya went . . .badly. You can know what a grifter is doing by what she attacks.
...
The grifter will break the rules, but go through four techniques if confronted: denial, attack, minimization, move on. A terrible thing happens to women who are sexually harassed. The harasser and his enablers accuse her of being “a slut or a nut.” HRC used the “slut and nut” defense for her husband. This was wrong. When confronted with the harm Bill was doing women, HRC denied it (despite his pattern of behavior in the past). When she could no longer deny it, she attacked those bringing it up. “We may be bad,” she would say, “but you are the same or worse.” When that failed, HRC would point out that nobody was murdered...Finally, if a few months (or a year) pass, she can say: “Why not move on? Why are you so harsh and judgmental?”
