The pace of presidential campaigns would take its toll on a much younger woman than Hillary Clinton. At her age, with the possibility of her suffering from a serious illness or two, the strain must have been devastating. When you combine the primary campaign with the campaign for the presidency, you looking at almost two years of grueling work. She may very well have destroyed her health pursuing a goal she failed to achieve.
A weary-looking Hillary Clinton said Wednesday evening at her first public appearance since she conceded to Donald Trump that she considered cancelling her speech to the children’s advocacy group but kept the commitment out of respect for her mentor.
‘I will admit coming here tonight wasn’t the easiest thing for me,’ she said at the Children’s Defense Fund’s gala in Washington, D.C.
The failed presidential candidate added: ‘There have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do is just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again.’
Clinton arrived and left the event at the Newseum through a private entrance and didn’t stick around to be hounded by her traveling press corps.
No doubt part of the reason she made a speedy exit was to avoid having to answer a bunch of tiring and embarrassing questions. Maybe she just felt very ill.
Clinton told attendees, ‘I know many of you are deeply disappointed about the results of the election. I am too, more than I can ever express.
‘Our campaign was never about one person or even one election – it was about the country that we love and about building an America that is hopeful inclusive and big-hearted.’
In spite of her defeat at the ballot box, Clinton said, ‘We have work to do.’
Not to be ungracious, but Mrs. Clinton certainly gave the impression that the campaign was about one person and her agenda.
The former first lady and secretary of state who has been criticized for her dogged pursuit of high-profile positions told gala attendees, ‘I didn’t get into public service to hold high office.’
That last phrase stretches the limits of credulity. Are there really people out there who believe that remark? People who don’t think she has been focused on becoming the nation’s first female president at least since her husband’s first election to the office? Didn’t think so.
It’s unknown what she will do next. She could rejoin her husband’s charity, still named the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, or choose to do something different entirely.
Hillary and her husband Bill are each millionaires, having taken advantage of the speaking circuit before she announced her second bid for president, and they own three homes in New York and Washington.
She and Bill probably added to their wealth from a few other highly questionable sources besides just speaking fees.
Whatever her plans, and whatever those who have the power to bring charges against her have planned, she doesn’t look like she’s wearing it well.
