Pondering Clinton vs Clinton From Paris by Steve Clemons
Unexpectedly I got a free day in Paris because United airlines took out of its fleet a plane deemed too risky. I felt more lucky than frustrated when they decided to tow the plane away from the gate.
As a result I got to spend an evening and morning with nearly 300 other stranded passengers, mostly Americans, who shared openly their thoughts about Hillary Clinton's predictable announcement that she wanted to be in charge of more than the decorations and Easter Egg rolling at the White House.
There is nothing scientific about the group I hung out with -- some were older, some younger, some fit, some not, ethnically diverse, all in Paris for some reason or another, all among those I spoke to in economy class and remarkably patient in the many long lines that ensue after a flight is cancelled in order to get free lunch and hotel vouchers.
"She is an amazing woman and a great leader. I have such confidence in her," said an elderly school teacher from the Norfolk, Virginia area. Her husband, in contrast, said that she paled in comparison to her husband, President Bill Clinton -- but that Jeb Bush, when people stopped to think about it was "obviously far better than his President-brother."
