Last night on The Late Show, Hillary Clinton was the fifth Presidential Candidate hopeful to take on Stephen Colbert’s half-serious/half-comical line of questioning. But Clinton assured that it is not the Bill Clinton administration 2.0, “I’m not running for my husband’s third presidency, or President Obama’s third term; I’m running for my first term”. “Because I want to build on the progress in that we’ve been making”, Clinton replied.

She responded, “Well, I’m not sure who you’re talking about, because I certainly didn’t get that message if they did”.
Clinton made that clear when she said she would allow big banks to fail if they were in trouble, boosting her own plan for Wall Street reform. “I’m just sorry to break it to you!'” This month she appeared on same network’s Saturday Night Live playing Val the bartender, who sang a duet with a power-hungry Hillary Clinton, played by SNL regular Kate McKinnon. Hillary came in and, you know, she was involved in education, she was involved in health care, she was involved in supporting women’s rights, and I think a lot of women in this state were encouraged by what they saw in Hillary Clinton.
Colbert later brought up the DIY-Hillary costumes released by her campaign in honor of her 68th birthday, which she noted her team did without her knowledge.
He asked if she’d done “anything special” like ‘have a celebration for 11 hours?’ “We finally finished House Of Cards”, Clinton said. Yesterday, the parody news site the Onion wrote a satirical op-ed from Clinton’s perspective, which repeated in various iterations the phrase that is also the headline: “I am fun”. Clinton added that banks that do not fail, but engage in “risky behavior” will be assessed a “risk fee” although she did not clarify what constitutes “risky behavior”.
Let’s get real; Hillary would probably be more at ease flirting with Colbert’s wife, and her attempt at flirting would be presenting her with a dildo. “Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes”, she repeated emphatically, NBC News reported.
“Madam Secretary” was just one of the shows Hillary mentioned in the interview.
Colbert asked Clinton if she would rather run against Donald Trump or Ben Carson, the two non-politicians now leading the Republican field.

The conversation also touched on many lighter subjects, including Clinton’s brief tenure in the Wellesley College Young Republicans Club and her penchant for binge-watching so-called “bad TV” with Bill.
