A Bad Week For Hillary

Hillary has not announced if she intends to run.

Even so, the week she's had could not have been much fun.

Hillary got pilloried by pundits in the press;

Just a taste of what's ahead if her decision's yes.

She used private e-mail servers when she headed State,

Breaking rules that she'd condemned in earlier debate.

Looking like a hypocrite - like rules do not apply.

When you are a Clinton, GOP expects a lie.

This just feeds their narrative...  Republicans believe

Mrs. Clinton's motivation's only to deceive.

Cover up Benghazi and mistakes she might have made;

This gives them the ammunition for which they have prayed.

I don't know why Hillary would run for President.

What is it she's won after her millions have been spent?

Criticism, controversy...  Thus, I have to ask

Why would Mrs. Clinton even want that thankless task?

Hillary at Wellesley is like Benedict in Rome;

On that lovely campus, Madame Secretary's home.

Wasn't too surprising that they're urging her to run.

In 4 years, after our current President is done,

I would love to see that too. She'd have my full support.

Something that she didn't have, I'm sorry to report.

Thought her choice of husband proved her judgment badly flawed

So, back then I chose, instead, to give Barack the nod.

On his Team of Rivals Mrs. Clinton's headed State;

Where I've gained a great deal of respect for her of late.

Thoughtful and articulate...  She's funny and she's smart.

Guess it's not my problem if her husband broke her heart

Sorry she's retiring but hoping that it means

She intends to use the time to work behind the scenes

Getting ready for a run for President, 'cause then

I'll be voting Hillary - despite her taste in men.
