“I’ve said I really don’t believe that that’s something I will do again.”
Hillary Clinton to Baba Wawa, when asked about running for Prez in 2016.
Back when I was a freshman at Wellesley, and Hillary was a junior, students there were already talking about her as the first woman president. I was 16, and what did I know, but I had never met someone who was just such pure ambition, who seemed to want power for the sake of power, rather than for trying to accomplish something policy-wise. Many years have passed, but I don’t believe that such consuming ambition just burns itself out without trying again and again for the goal.
