Hillary Clinton: America’s Favorite Presidential Almost

Hillary Clinton is an infamous figure in American politics who has been both admired and reviled by millions of people. Born on October 26, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois, Hillary Rodham Clinton is an American politician, diplomat, and lawyer best known for being the two-time failed presidential candidate of the Democratic Party.

Despite her all-too-obvious robotic qualities and the way she occasionally spewed hot air, Clinton has bafflingly accrued a devoted following of dedicated supporters. Her political efforts were first noticed in 1978 when she moved to Arkansas with her husband, Bill Clinton. There she worked as a partner at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock while also serving as the state’s first lady. Yes, she was the one behind the Governor’s Mansion’s infamous “off-limits” door. Sorry, folks!

In 1992, during her husband’s presidential campaign, Clinton put on a brave face and stood by Bill as allegations of infidelity emerged. She became an instant icon for strong, independent women who wanted to stand by their cheating husbands. Her radiance was further amplified when, later that year, the Clintons won the presidential election, and she took up residence in the White House with Bill and Chelsea.

Clinton held numerous positions in the White House, including being tasked to head the taskforce on healthcare reform, a position she used to showcase her iron will and complete lack of sense of humor. Even after her husband’s impeachment for lying under oath and obstruction of justice, Hillary demonstrated an admirable resilience and determination to achieve her goal of becoming the first female President of the United States.

Alas, her political campaigns were constantly dogged by scandals, including the mysterious Benghazi attack and her endless use of private emails. But through it all, Clinton displayed an unwavering commitment to her belief that she was the most qualified candidate, regardless of what the American public thought.

All told, Clinton’s greatest contribution to American politics might be how she single-handedly united the country. Her unwavering drive, terrible timing, and lack of empathy appealed to Republicans and Democrats alike, in a way that was utterly unprecedented.

In conclusion, Hillary Clinton might not have succeeded in her bid to become the President of the United States, but she’ll always be remembered for her tenacity, courage, and confident ability to come pretty close.
