Embedded in time to be opened today, 23 years later. Today I would say that the only thing that may have changed is a more pragmatic approach to gaining the power position that she needed to implement the core concept objectives and driving philosophy that she expressed in the interview.
The practicality of politics demands a certain amount of "The Ends Justify the Means" Saying one thing to get into a position of power and doing another when it is accomplished. Saying one thing to get the essential stepping stone to power called "GettingMoney" (and promising more to the giver as return on investment" that is the key to political power. The source of BigMoney is of course BigBusiness.
A very tricky game to play. Saying one thing and delivering another involves risk management. What is said to BigMoney to get the money needed to get into power and not deliver to it but to a higher public purpose good must be carefully and convincingly done. If not then it is a two edged sword. The other edge used by her opponents to call CrookedHillary with the intent that really intends to deliver exactly what BigMoney interests of Finance, Globalism and War want.
The tragedy of it all is that there really was really a ThirdParty involved in this election: The TrumpParty. It wore the disguise of the Republican Party but put into office a President and now his selected team that is a mere narrow faction of the Republican Party. The irony of it all is that that faction did not depend on a MoneyBased contest to win. It spent far less. It won on a HateBased contest that made the TrumpParty faction appear to be the real Lesser of TwoEvils.
The BigCon by the master of BusinessBait/Switch is that the political contest was between good and evil and the good guys lost. The further irony is that the majority won on the popular vote but a ManipulationBased strategy won the game. The entire situation is compounded by the fact that Hillary is in my opinion the champion of the goodness of our core beliefs that encompass more than simply a religious essence but a moral Humanitarianism.
I supported Bernie. SocialistPhilosophy (SP) has a firmer foundation for application than HumanitarianPhilosphy (HP . SP is a child of HP that has its own high level set of Attributes, Methods and ImplementationMessages that make is a unique child among others that are equally unique to the extent that they compete as well as cooperate such as Capitalism. They both share and compete, Globally and Nationally with another equally BigEntity in the ObjectOriented scheme of things called Money. Money is the thing that serves as our SocialDecisionMakingTool. Ultimately it serves Us, WeThePeople, our own NationalSlice child of GlobalHumanity.
Hillary played the MoneyGame of Politics. A hard line game that is SelfServing oriented. The best game in town when Politics is self serving of WeThePeople which is what we designed it to do but operates by serving those with the most money and their use of Money as a DecisionMaking tool to serve their narrow interests, not the PublicInterest that is in my opinion better served based on a dominance of Socialism over Capitalism.
Hillary had true SocialMotivated Humanitarian intent in her heart. She had to play in a game rigged by the ArtOfTheDeal serving Capitalism as the ParentOwner of its Child:PowerOfMoney.
Hillary played the right game on the wrong field. It was the only field she could play on and it had its own set of rules to play by. She fought the good fight with a goodness of heart but had to fight it in a game rigged to benefit the Rich/Powerful that serves itself first and Humanity second by virtue of MarketRules and limitation of anything that Humanitarian or Social Governance that would constrain in any way.
Hillary is a Humanitarian. She played a Humanitarian based game on a field of PowerBasedCapitalismMoneyAgenda. A field where the art of the sell creates a difference between what is promised and what is delivered within certain broad parameters limited by law but more broadly limited by "What Can Be Gotten Away With Without Prosecution That Would Make It Not Profitable In Terms of Money".
Bernie is a Socialist. He played on the same field as Hillary but with a more specific focus and structural developed derivation of Humanitarianism called Socialism. A more precise contender with Capitalism. His fight was based on playing on his field of play by his rules. An honest man presenting an AlternateGame with directly contrasting and additional rules of DemocraticSocialism incorporating much of the same rules of Capitalism but bending it toward Humanitarianism.
Trump is a Pathological Narcissist. He played on the same field as Hillary and Bernie. Like them it was not his home field. His home field was Business. Self serving business that was not even traditional business to benefit CapitalisticInvestors but entirely to benefit his NarcissisticSelf. A con man and expert in the ArtOfTheCon. The extreme "MeFirst", Anything and everything else second. My rules, my benefit.
Hillary wins on Yardage.
Bernie wins on crucial field goals.
Trump wins on the con of turning poison into cure. Evil into the choice of the afflicted believing it will cure their sickness and make them feel better again, feel great again, exact revenge on those believed to be the cause of their problems.
I know. My best friend would call this a long complex rant solving nothing. I should have supported Hillary from the start. Me and millions like me, white rich college educated men that should have supported Hillary with our money and efforts from the start and only reluctantly voted for Hillary (or a third party or not at all) that were guilty of the tragic result we have now.
My friend would certainly judge all of this blog to be worth nothing, does nothing, that I share the guilt of what has happened putting Trump into office. I would have done more if I had not failed to see the result. Knocked on doors, contributed money, phone banked, etc. I like so many others, but that is no excuse, thought she had it in the bag.
So, this is my way of seeing it. I used ObjectOriented syntax in creating ObjectOriented terms to which I do not attach semantics as terms of reference to their Parent/Child relationships nor specific Attributes, Messages and Methods. They are high enough in the ObjectOrientedModel that I consider them to be understood, at least by me, without specific definition. My tree of my own design based on a methodology by which to climb to the moon.
My annual life time seasonal increase in conceptual perception that I have described previously in this blog normally peaks around Thanksgiving, tapers until Christmas but always seems to accomplish a higher level of comprehension of how things fit together in the grand scheme of thing, whatever the ProblemDomain seems to be filling in the TheoryOfEverything that integrates the Top SuperObjectParent:CollectiveLevelOfAllThings through its ObjectOriented structure of ParentChild relationships to the lowest level foundation of the specific GranularObject on which the entire system is structured from the BottomUp method of conceptual construction based on a TopDown conceptual method of ObjectOriented SystemDesign.
I would absolutely like to think that Hillary would talk a good game to BigBuck interests, take the money and run then be elected to run a Humanitarian oriented administration of governance for the benefit of all.
I do believe that Bernie said exactly what he would do with no regard to getting money from BigBuck interests. He got money and support from the people. I do believe that he would have done in office to the best of his ability what he told everyone honestly that he would do while a candidate for the nomination.
Its over an I still believe in Bernie but even more thee cause of Democratic Socialism http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-campaign-staffer-sanders-can-be-the-lincoln_us_583205b0e4b08c963e344124
