The Road Trip That Changed Hillary Clinton’s Life
Keywords: Hillary Clinton, Clinton, Bill Clinton, Arkansas,
Sara Ehrman describes the time when Hillary Clinton worked in Washington D.C. as a 26 year old lawyer working on the Watergate committee, and Bill Clinton was teaching law in Arkansas. In August 1974 Hillary was living for about 1 year with Mrs. Ehrman, a friend who was a congressional aide at the time. She is 97 today, and recalls that time when she tried to discourage Hillary from going to Arkansas to join her boyfriend. Ehrman felt not much would come out of Bill Clinton, though she thought him to be handsome, and later worked in his presidential campaign and Hillary's presidential campaign. Ehrman was 55 then, and describes Hillary Clinton as a bit sloppy in her habits, such as not making her bed and having a lot of stuff strewn about her room, but really intelligent and very hardworking. At the time both lived together. Ehrman describes a daily routine of seeing Hillary go to work with coffee in the morning and come back exhausted late at night, having yogurt and going to bed, day after day. The two met for the first time in 1972 when Ehrman was co-director of issues and research in the McGovern campaign in Texas, and Hillary was helping with voter registration.
This report describes in detail the road trip to Arkansas that the two made together, when Mrs. Ehrman drove Hillary to Arkansas in her old Buick. They stopped at small towns in the 1200 mile journey, and this journey ends with Mrs Ehrman crying that she could not get Hillary to change her mind about Bill Clinton and Arkansas. About what she thought was a bright woman throwing her life away in the deep South of the seventies. Hillary she remembers insisted she loved Bill Clinton, and having passed the Arkansas Bar exam had firmly decided on settling in Arkansas.

Questions about the narrative about Hillary Clinton's honesty- not a natural politician like Bill Clinton, some gaffes, but no less honest than Bill
04/23/2016
The gaffes Benghazi, using a personal email server as Secretary of State, being labeled by Sanders as a shifty "progressive," speeches at Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs. Benghazi and Libya described by Obama as his biggest mistake, Clinton struggling to push back with Panetta, and Gen. Keane and Jones against Obama's policy error. The personal email server an error that did not compromise national security. An old progressive in the style of Bill Clinton, but focussed on getting things done and reaching accomodation to do this. Wall Street connections now rightly seen as letting lobbyists influence policy, yet unlikely to influence policy just as Heidi Cruz's work as a director of Goldman is less likely to influence Ted Cruz's policies. The campaign financing are part of politics that determines U.S. elections, and the U.S. campaign financing needs to learn from the British system that extends from the parliamentary elections to the referendum on membership in the European Union. The gap with young women voters more a result of young women having less experience with the discrimination issues of an older generation of women, according to Pew Trust surveys.

Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and the "progressives" in the 2016 U.S. presidential election
02/04/2016
Bernie Sanders says Hillary is a "progressive" on some days, and not on other days such as when she received $675,000 for 3 speeches at Goldman Sachs to her 2016 presidential campaign fund. Hillary says she is amused at how Sanders has become a gatekeeper for the "progressive" label. This was in response to questions at a CNN town hall by Anderson Cooper on Feb. 3, 2016.

10/04/2016
The election campaign of 2016 will be remembered for the crude comments on women made during the campaign. The sense of shock and ostracism of such comments in the media was absent in the way it would have happened in previous moments in American history. The question at a gym in Haverford, Pennsylvania suburb, was typical of the angst expressed by young women about this situation.

The Road Trip That Changed Hillary Clinton’s Life
The New York Times 10/28/2016
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
