>>Victor... she lists that gaffe as an accomplishment and gives a flat out lie by saying that it failed because of republican opposition.
>>It failed because of her incompetence.
Actually Victor has a point. She was obstructed and out-maneuvered by beneficiaries of the status quo.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
