JOHN TAMNY WRITES A BRILLIANT PIECE @ FORBES TODAY ON HILLARY CLINTON'S 'CANDIDACY.' Though I'm not familiar with Lane Kiffin, I nevertheless get his prescient drift:
There's a human tendency to project skills, knowledge and ideology on people by virtue of their association with achievers whom they're attached to. George H.W. Bush was elected president for having served under Ronald Reagan, and then the success of Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll has gotten many of their assistants top jobs in college and the NFL. Nearly every one of them failed, as did Bush #41. Assuming Hillary Clinton runs at all, the projection of Bill's policy knowledge and political skills on her may be the biggest reach of all, and it's an insult to Bill.Projection, reputation-by-association and wishful thinking all get us in deep trouble.
