On the other hand, if you pay close attention to what she says she will do, you will notice she carefully says very little. To a group of women, she will say something like, “Women are the backbone of a society, but they have been mistreated by women haters. This must stop, and in a fair society it will stop.” The crowd cheers and shouts, and Hillary goes on to the next topic. Her supporters feel all warm and fuzzy, but you notice she didn’t say what she would do about anything.

Her speech to minorities will sound much the same. She will state the country is full of enemies who are terrible bigots who have oppressed minorities and kept them down. She will state how unfair it all is, and how it must change. The crowd cheers and shouts, and Clinton goes on to the next topic.

Her supporters assume Clinton is on their side, but she hasn’t said anything specific at all.

Now some may be saying her opposition does the same, and indeed they do, but Clinton is better at it. She is the master of the genre. She does it with enthusiasm, with brashness and seemingly without any sense of wrongdoing.

One gets the feeling in Clinton’s mind there is no distinction between facts and desire, no difference between truth and political pragmatism. There is only the game and the resultant winners and losers.
