Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 Presidential election, won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes and now a civilian has maintained intact her character, courage, integrity and devotion to America and public service. Her accomplishments come despite the vicious lies by her republican opponents who could not compete on the issues or articulate any policy of their own.
Her early warnings about Trump during the campaign fell on deaf ears and now the real crooked candidate is in the White House and probably on the road to impeachment. Clinton's thoughts on the economy, Russia and how to deal with the ACA during the campaign now engulfs the Trump administration and the republican party to the point of being a non functional party and government.
While Trump and his party continue to lie and attack everyone, Hillary is satisfied being a wife, mother and grandmother and staying silent on most of the damage being done by the President. Now it is up to the powers that be in politics to straighten out the mess. No doubt Hillary will speak out from time to time on the major issues and rightly so, but won't allow herself to stoop to the low of the present administration.
Hillary Clinton did her best while in politics and was loyal to her country and its people. She will be treated kindly by history when the time comes to write the final chapter. In the mean time her leadership and knowledge is greatly missed. And in November she won the most important aspect of politics and life, that is truth, character and courage.
