I didn't say I've just discovered that notion, I posted this as a definitive example that she is a very capable and influential person, and once had great character and integrity, but gradually became the pre-purchased political weasel that she evidently is now. It's important to understand

a) where she's coming from, how she used to be

b) what influential Dem colleagues think of her, i.e. to know they aren't fooled by her shit either.

c) that she's not some hell-bent Dr. Octopus with a passion for annihilation of the middle class, she's just a typical, greedy, corrupt politician who will stop at nothing for an extra couple $tacks.

It's important to know her motivations behind everything she's done, and what's going on at present.
