“As a historian, I’m stunned by the scope and reach of Hillary Clinton’s accomplishments-the only way to capture them all is by sharing the stories of the people who have been helped by her work”, Black said.

The Clinton comparison arose when the Democratic hopeful noted that 23 million jobs were created during her husband’s administration.
“I’m gonna leave that to the Republicans”, she said, adding she doesn’t want to influence the race. When she ran for the U.S. Senate in 2000, she said that the death penalty had her “unenthusiastic support”. We’ve got to get back to making the economy work for everybody.
Clinton has recently become somewhat of a late-night staple, after the campaign made a decision to shake up her media strategy.
While the premise of The Good Wife draws on Clinton’s life, the current season of the show is literally about her. The aforementioned disgraced politician husband is now the governor of Illinois and running for president against real-life Hillary Clinton.
Asked if she could picture either one of them in office, Clinton quipped, “I can picture them in a few office”.
This “Late Show” appearance occasioned a cordial give-and-take, where perhaps Colbert’s toughest question was: Why is she running for president?
University of New Hampshire pollster Andy Smith told the Herald Clinton’s strong week will undoubtedly help, even if it just helps her confidence.
“Most days something happens during the day that really makes you feel like, ‘Yes, I know why I’m doing this.’ I’m so committed, and it’s because somebody said something to me”. “And if they’re too big to fail, and under my plan, and under others that have been proposed, then they may have to be broken up”. “We have to raise the minimum wage”, Clinton said.
“Yes, they will fail”, she replied. 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.
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.
