 “It’s not fair” to “He’s lazy/incompetent/a jerk.”

How is it that Clinton, who is successful and smart, hasn’t followed the most basic, Goop-like advice? For one thing, self-reflection isn’t easy or natural, which is why there are so many of these lists in the first place. Plus, it’s harder to let go when a mob of people—from inner-circle loyalists like Lanny Davis to the internet hordes—are egging you on while rending their garments over Trump.

But the irony is that Clinton has done it right before, handling past adversity in ways that were productive and inspired. In one of the feminist triumphs of modern politics, she refused to lock herself into the “wronged wife” story line, launched an ambitious bid for U.S. Senate from New York, and began a soaring political career. In 2008, after a tight loss to Obama in the Democratic primary, she graciously accepted his offer to be secretary of state, where she oversaw Washington’s “reset” with Moscow, managed sanctions in Iran and crises in Pakistan, and launched the Global Hunger and Food Security Initiative.

Perhaps Clinton was able to bounce back so quickly because she knew the presidency was still within reach. Now that goal is off the table, and she has yet to fully embrace a cause or future that can separate her from her loss. Finding the right path, among many possible options, is surely a challenge. But if she does commit herself to reinvention, Clinton will find that she is better-positioned than ever to make a difference. She’ll be free from the daily trench warfare of Washington. Her every move will still attract attention. And her experiences as senator and secretary of state have prepared her for roll-up-your-sleeves work on policy issues, from the child-welfare matters that started her career to the status of women worldwide. Clinton has taken baby steps in that direction: Last week, at a Georgetown University event, she spoke about how climate change will disproportionately affect women.

She could dive into the private sector, creating a market solution for any number of problems. She could follow Gore’s path and take on a single cause as a public advocate. Naysayers be damned, she could run for office again. She’s the same age as Romney—and younger than Joe Biden.

“ It ’s not fair ” to “ He ’s lazy / incompetent / a jerk. ” 

 How is it that Clinton, who is successful and fresh, has n’t take after the most basic, Goop - like advice? For one matter, self - reflection is n’t easy or natural, which is why there be so many of these lists in the inaugural place. Plus, it ’s harder to lease go when a mob of citizenry — from inner - circle loyalists like Lanny Davis to the internet hordes — are egging you on while rend their garments over Trump. 

 But the irony is that Clinton has done it mighty before, handling past adversity in room that were fat and inspired. In one of the feminist triumph of modern politics, she refused to lock herself into the “ wrong wife ” story line, launched an ambitious bid for U.S. Senate from New York, and began a soaring political career. In 2008, after a nasty loss to Obama in the Democratic primary, she graciously accepted his offer to be secretary of state, where she oversaw Washington ’s “ reset ” with Moscow, managed sanctions in Iran and crises in Pakistan, and launched the Global Hunger and Food Security Initiative. 

 Perhaps Clinton was able to bounce back thus quickly because she knew the presidency was even within compass. Now that goal is off the table, and she have yet to fully embrace a cause or future that can branch her from her loss. Finding the right path, among many possible option, is surely a challenge. But if she does commit herself to reinvention, Clinton will find that she is better - positioned than always to make a deviation. She ’ll be free from the daily trench warfare of Washington. Her every move will still attract care. And her experiences as senator and secretary of state have prepared her for roll - up - your - sleeves work on policy issues, from the child - welfare matters that started her career to the condition of women worldwide. Clinton has taken baby steps in that direction: concluding week, at a Georgetown University consequence, she spoke about how climate change will disproportionately affect women. 

 She could dive into the secret sector, creating a market solution for any number of problems. She could follow Gore ’s way and take on a single cause as a public advocate. naysayer be damned, she could run for office again. She ’s the same historic period as Romney — and younger than Joe Biden.
