NEW YORK MAGAZINE: HILLARY CLINTON SUPERSTAR
New York Magazine unveils and extensive recap on the Hillary Clinton campaign - and draws a conclusion I agree with - “while she won’t be president, she has become something far more interesting.”
Hillary says, “I believe that I’ve succeeded certainly in diminishing if not eliminating the commander-in-chief barrier for women candidates in the future.”
Hillary also explains the ramifications of her campaign concluding that “it’s much bigger than me. And women know that. Because if it were just about me, those who sympathize with me would say, ‘I’m so sorry.’ But instead it’s, ‘Wait a minute! And when are we going to see somebody stand up and say, What are you doing here?’”
Clinton also says, “The contrast between the outrage over anything concerning race compared to anything concerning gender was incredibly out of balance, I thought.”
While Hillary doesn’t point out any names in the media that , New York Magazine says “MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was to Hillary in some sense what Ken Starr was to her husband Bill Clinton.”
According to New York magazine, “the belief that Hillary was ill-treated by the press is one of the most powerful contributing factors to her renewed, and greatly enhanced, status as a feminist hero.”
