Bill could talk under water for hours! ;D
It's a necessary and effective effort to humanise Hillary. Just the very fact that she chose to work as a children's advocate rather than taking a high-paid corporate law job is enough to negate the image the GOP tries to paint of a self-serving power-craving politician without guiding principles.
Interesting how the conservatives choose to attack her for seeking high office, trying to turn years of public service into soulless ambition. When have men been attacked in this way? On the contrary, ruthless campaigning and manoeuvring is actually presented as strength and manliness. Peter Costello is mocked because he didn't have the guts to seize power from Howard after the latter walked away from a succession deal. On the other hand, Keating is admired for taking down Hawke when he tried to hold on to power. In Australia, we have had 3 sitting Prime Ministers overthrown by Gillard, Rudd and then Turnbull. Is it coincidental that only Gillard seems to have been condemned for doing so? Howard and Peacock spent a decade in opposition knifing each other. Fact is, Trump's the one who seems to be chasing power for narcissistic reasons. He has no actual policies other than the ridiculous wall he says he'll build.
