There is one reason for Hillary to be in this race at all, and only one. [View all]

Trust me on this.
Making history (AKA ego):
1. First female president.
2. First husband and wife as president.

The power, the greed, the whatever is secondary. It's the entry in Wikipedia that's important.

All the reasons for her not to be president (her health, her integrity, her lack of expertise) don't matter. She can be physically incapacitated, impeached, indicted, or jailed, but she will still be in the history books. Pardon, I meant Wikipedia. I don't think we have history books anymore.

And that is the saddest thing about this election. Ego over greater good.
