One of the perpetual mysteries of the American political landscape is the resilience of the Clinton political machine. Even as the charismatic persona of Bill Clinton has inexorably folded into the gaping maw of his wife's insatiable ambition, we remain beholden as a nation to a dynasty that began four decades ago in an Arkansas city with barely 200,000 residents. Despite his wife's political tone deafness, inability to anticipate or respond to potentially crippling challenges, and a persistent public distrust of her motives, Hillary Clinton has managed to position herself as the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2016 presidential contest.
A few weeks before the Iowa Caucuses, Clinton is trailing hometown favorite Bernie Sanders in the state of New Hampshire. You need only stroll through some of the hipper enclaves of Williamsburg, or pass a few of the cars parked across from the brownstones of Park Slope—which sport Bernie bumper stickers placed above decrepit Howard Dean ads—in order to appreciate the zeitgeist Clinton's chief opponent has seized upon. If she represents everything that's wrong with the Democratic Party—and by extension, American political discourse—ruthless political opportunism, cynical exploitation of the law for personal enrichment and aggrandizement, and constant deception and manipulation of the public, then he embodies everything (idealistic) Democratic partisans see in themselves.

How’s the resilience of the Clinton liver?
Out with the old Goosestepper Hitlery and time for a True Conservative Ted Cruz!!!
Neither one of them appears to be eligible. One because of the law and one because of flagrant breaking of it.
It has nothing to do with her resilience and everything to do with millions of morons who will vote for anyone who promises them free stuff. It wouldn’t be enough to win without a few million more people who will vote for criminals as long as they are from the democrat party. The Clinton’s would be in hiding or prison in a sane country.
My comment is referring to Hill’s alleged alcoholism. But, thanks for playing.
