How you go on!
So, let's be sure that we get this right.
If she passes legislation that lets people do whatever, she's some kind of heroine who fought the bad guys and is showered with praise.
If she tries and fails, she's some kind of victim and gets no blame- rather she gets plaudits for bucking the bad guys.
How does one lose in that scenario?
In fact, she never should have been involved in the health care situation.
She was a discredited lawyer with a cloud over her head (Whitewater) who had never had a real job and was married to a philandering draft-dodger who happened to have been elected president.
Without the draft-dodger, she couldn't have been hired as a dog-catcher in Washington.
Great qualifications to lead a major change in health care, right?
She wasn't qualified to lead a Girl Scout troop.
