...but that those were her genuine opinions. Ludicrous, militant opinions.

I do regret Clinton's position as SoS for the reasons you cited. Many Americans were not anywhere near her privileged vantage point but still did not fall for it, including myself. What excuse does she have? Rice also has no excuse.

If I had to choose between Rice and whoever the Republicans want, I would go with Rice of course. Same case with Clinton, but there are plenty of better candidates in this country.
