Reply #31: I'm not arguing that she did

[Armstead]

The coatails kicked in when she was instantly elevated to the status of likely presidential nominee the day Bill Clinton left office (and before that).

She carpetbagged to New York, ran against a bad GOP candidate and won as her first public office. Not many people of either gender would be instantly placed into presidential contention on that basis.

I'm not saying Hillary is a failure or a screw up. Simply that her only claim to be President is based on her husband.....

I should amend that. Perhaps if she had not been married to Bill Clinton she would have made it to this level on her own anyway. But that's pure speculation.
