New York Times, Clinton said, “You know, I have thought about this, as you might guess, for 15 years and I never seriously considered a single-payer system.”

Blair, a political science professor from Arkansas, joined Gov. Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign as a senior researcher and worked as a senior adviser on his successful 1996 reelection bid. She became a close friend to both Clintons, but particularly the first lady.

She died in 2000 at the age of 61. At the time, The New York Times reported that Hillary Clinton eulogized Blair as “the best person that one could have as a friend.”

The documents portray Blair’s relationship with Clinton as both professional and personal. While they appeared to talk extensively about policy and politics, they also discussed books, travel andsounding promises, but had little experience. I think little "experience" (i.e, an almost untraceable history) was exactly what the Dems were looking for if they wanted a chance at winning in 2008. After what they did in 2008, their support in 2016 seems a little hollow. As to her forgiving Bill? Her whole being and political career is directly tied to Bill – First Lady of Arkansas and First Lady in the White House are her credentials. Replacing Moynihan's senate seat? – a democrat fixed sinecure. Her role as SecState? A quid pro quo for the Clinton's support of Obama. it is all a fix -- and it all has to do with Bill. No one knows that more than Hillary - of course, she "forgave" him.
