The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan, today not behind a paywall, takes a long, appraising look at Hillary Clinton. Noonan sees Hillary believing the rules don't apply to her, they're for other, lesser mortals. And she quotes the late William Safire,
New York Times columnist describing Hillary as:
A congenital liar ... compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.
Finally, see Noonan's summation of the H. Clinton character:
Her talent is for survival. This on its own terms is admirable and takes grit. But others have grit. As for leadership, she has a sharp tactical sense but no vision, no overall strategic sense of where we are and where we must go.
Do we really have to return to Scandal Land? It’s what she brings wherever she goes. And it’s not going to stop.
I never thought I'd write this: a Hillary presidency could actually be worse than the Barack presidency which is the modern nadir.
