There's a great story about the 2016 election in which Bill Clinton is purported to through her book manuscript in the trash and tell her she doesn't have a clue and that she had no idea how to interpret polling data and she was sure to lose. I always thought Bill was smart, with issues, but smart for sure.

In another Bill & Hillary story along those lines...
During the Clinton reign I was a pilot in the USMC. On one of forays through Quantico I stopped by to visit some friends at HMX-1 which of course included a tour of the Presidential aircraft. Of course we got on the subject of Bill & Hill. My friend, a Presidential pilot, said Bill was actually a pretty nice person and would sit and talk with them. Bill was always respectful towards them and the enlisted Marines and they could see why people liked him.
Hillary on the other hand was different. My friend said there was doubt in anyone’s mind that they were nothing more than her servants. They were not to talk to her, look at her or in anyway disturb her. She was disrespectful and one wasn’t surprised after the flight to find out the crew had somehow offended her and were facing some sort of reprimand. In short she was a total b!tch...his words not mine.
What does it say about someone in power who treats those who support them like trash? So yeah, I have no doubt she would put people in camps. She is no better than Stalin or Mao.
Hillary is a completely insecure and deep down she knows everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie. That's why she can't look people in the eye and is obnoxious to 'the help'. The truth is going to collect one day, the truth always does.
I just noticed that Hillary talks while looking askance at her listener. She gives everyone the side eye! I'm not body language expert, but doesn't that mean that the speaker is prevaricating?
I have a good friend who had a part time job during grad school at a fancy boutique hotel in Seattle which was apparently Hillary’s hotel of choice when she was in Washington state. My friend was on duty at the concierge office multiple times when Hillary and her entourage arrived. She gave the exact same description of Hillary. The hotel staff was instructed that they were not allowed to speak to her or even make eye contact. She was often brought in through a back door just so that she would not have to be in the presence of the regular staff. Despite the fact that no staff had actually interacted with her she always left a long list of complaints when she departed . When I asked my friend what her overall impression of Hillary was after being around her she said “ her entire demeanor was just absolutely insufferable”.
Everybody could see Hillary Clinton was cooked in Iowa. So when, a week-and-a-half out, the Service Employees International Union started hearing anxiety out of Michigan, union officials decided to reroute their volunteers, giving a desperate team on the ground around Detroit some hope.
They started prepping meals and organizing hotel rooms.
SEIU — which had wanted to go to Michigan from the beginning, but been ordered not to — dialed Clinton’s top campaign aides to tell them about the new plan. According to several people familiar with the call, Brooklyn was furious.
Turn that bus around, the Clinton team ordered SEIU. Those volunteers needed to stay in Iowa to fool Donald Trump into competing there, not drive to Michigan, where the Democrat’s models projected a 5-point win through the morning of Election Day.
Michigan organizers were shocked. It was the latest case of Brooklyn ignoring on-the-ground intel and pleas for help in a race that they felt slipping away at the end.
“They believed they were more experienced, which they were. They believed they were smarter, which they weren’t,” said Donnie Fowler, who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee during the final months of the campaign. “They believed they had better information, which they didn’t.”
I remember in '08 before Obama beat her, me and a friend walked into what I guess was a fund-raiser, at a bar in downtown Pittsburgh. We just stopped for a couple of $6 beers before we had to pay PNC Park's $15/beer. Why they let us in is a mystery, maybe me and Steve looked like a gay couple or something, but it certainly was a mistake. As we drank, we started making crude jokes about Hillary, and this guy, maybe in his 30's, comes over and tries to tell us off, and then says he gave the maximum amount he could to her campaign - $5,000. Steve berated him, calling him every synonym there is for fool. Just as we were settling back into our beers, his mother comes over... Uh oh!
We chugged our beers, went to PNC and watched the Pirates suck.

Bill is nothing if not smart. A corrupt corporatist, but smart as hell. Your anecdote has the whiff of truth. I'd heard that her staff had no idea what of Hillary's virtues they were supposed to extoll. They were going to make her campaign about her destruction of Libya...until they realized that the whole affair was 21st century brigandage and she was the psychopath in chief.
Bill knew she wasn't going to win because Bill is clued into the real power center of the world, and knew there was simply no chance in hell they were going to pass up allowing Donald Trump to cement their power through division.

That, or looking at the script.
Can't wait to read that book
Have heard identical stories from a good friend (also USMC O-5 of that era.). LOTS of foul language, screaming, throwing things, etc.

The actual campaign that Hillary ran was terrible.

Well, she did blame her team in the end and then pivoted to Russia for her loss.

And that was 2008? What are they now $26?
Don't know. The last time I bought a beer in a stadium was at a Tigers game in Detroit in 2016. It was $18.
Wonder how that guy feels about his donation these days.
