Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton
Hillary Rodham Clinton was elected to the United States Senate by the people of New York on November 7, 2000. She serves on the Special Committee on Aging, the Environment and Public Works Committee, HELP (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) Committee, and the Armed Services Committee -- the first New York Senator to do so. She was also selected in 2003 to chair the Senate Democratic Steering and Coordination Committee, responsible for outreach to communicate with the public about key issues before Congress.
Since the tragic events of September 11, Senator Clinton has been working tirelessly to ensure that New York has the resources it needs to rebuild, fighting to secure more than $20 billion in federal funds, and leading the call for health monitoring of those who worked at Ground Zero. In the past year she has worked equally hard making sure that the funds meant for future homeland security needs make it to the communities that need them.
Senator Clinton is a strong advocate for New York families and a powerful voice for Democratic principles. She has worked hard to promote jobs and economic growth, preserve the environment, improve educational opportunities and provide quality health care.
As a Senator, she has won passage of legislation to protect food safety and to improve drug research, focusing on the particular vulnerabilities of children; to enhance protection at nuclear power plants; to guard against the potential threat of radiological "dirty" bombs; and to strengthen security along New York and America's northern border. She is the chief sponsor of legislation to create Homeland Security Block Grants to provide direct aid to firefighters, police and local communities who are on the front lines of our homeland defense.
National security, homeland security and economic security are at the top of Senator Clinton’s legislative agenda. She believes that America's military should have the necessary resources, training and equipment to remain the most powerful force on Earth. In 2003, she visited troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to see first-hand the challenges they face. She also worked at home to support veterans and to protect the resources they deserve.
With the economy a primary concern for New Yorkers, Senator Clinton has worked to promote job creation throughout the state. The first legislation introduced by Senator Clinton was a package of bills to expand the upstate New York economy. She continues her work to increase investment in technologies such as broadband, create regional skill alliances and promote business incubators.
On a national level, she has been a strong advocate for responsible economic policies and the kind of fiscal discipline that led to the extraordinary growth and prosperity that was achieved during the administration of her husband, President Bill Clinton. As Senator Clinton has said, "We must pass a budget that keeps paying down the debt, provides sensible tax cuts and invests in priorities that matter to the people we represent."
The first First Lady ever elected to the United States Senate, Hillary Clinton is also the first woman elected statewide in New York. As First Lady, she was recognized internationally as an advocate for democracy, religious tolerance and human rights. She is now the Honorary Co-Chair of Vital Voices, a program begun while she was First Lady to increase the participation of women in the political and economic life of their countries.
A champion for women and girls, Senator Clinton has worked to increase access to health care, including reproductive health care, for women around the world, and to protect the right to choose here at home.
Hillary Rodham Clinton was born in Chicago, Illinois on October 26, 1947, and graduated from Wellesley College and Yale Law School. She was appointed chair of the Legal Services Corporation by President Jimmy Carter in 1977, and served as chair of the American Bar Association Committee on Women in the Profession in 1987. From 1986 to 1991, Hillary Clinton was chair of the board of the Children's Defense Fund.
Senator Clinton’s memoir, Living History, was published in June, 2003 and became an immediate best seller, with more than one million copies sold in the first month. She is also the author of It Takes A Village, and Other Lessons Children Teach Us; contributing almost $1 million of the proceeds to charities dedicated to children and families; Dear Socks, Dear Buddy, benefiting the National Parks Foundation; and An Invitation to the White House, with proceeds going to the White House Historical Association.
Even before her election to the Senate, Hillary Clinton was a leader in supporting the election of Democrats to office. She campaigned around the country for her husband, President Bill Clinton, in 1992 and 1996. She has traveled extensively on behalf of Democratic candidates, speaking on behalf of their campaigns, and working to encourage voter turnout. In the 2002 cycle, she headlined more than 150 events for candidates and parties. She is now Honorary Chair of HILLPAC, which contributed more than $1.3 million to candidates and parties in the 2002 elections.
Senator Clinton and President Clinton live in Chappaqua, New York.
He stayed in the race way after he was mathematically eliminated. Endorsing two weeks before the primary is way too late. His support for her in the race was tepid at best. If he really thought it was important that she defeat Trump, he could've done a lot more.

No I'd say endorsing a person before the race is over isn't too late. Especially considering past nominations have had candidates not drop out at all and just lose or withdraw at the convention

I agree with EastTexasDem, he could've done a lot more. Staying in the race after you've been mathematically eliminated is putting yourself before the party. He could've really rallied his supporters against Trump by urgently relaying the message that they must vote for Clinton to prevent Trump. He said it in a couple speeches after he dropped out but too little, too late. I could totally see him doing that in 2020 which would be a really sad sight to see.

He campaigned for her in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, and Maine. You seem to love shitting on the hard work Bernie's done saying "oh he could've done more", he's done enough to satiate you

Yet most of his supporters either voted for Trump, third party, or didn't vote. Sure seems like his messaging didn't work. I understand that you're frustrated that he lost fair and square in 2016, but do not expect him to win this go around.

Yes, I looked over some of the stats showing 12% of Bernie Voters voted Trump, it's not a majority, but no one denied some Bernie Voters voted Trump. You claimed you claimed "most of his supporters either voted for Trump, third party, or didn't vote." That study doesn't show that, it does show that 25% of 08 Hillary supporters voted for McCain and 13% of Trump voter voted Obama in 2012
For the Bernie voters, you also have to acknowledge the reason voters in those areas voted the way they did.
Voters in those areas were focused on 1 issue: Trade.
NAFTA screwed them over and TPP would do it evenmoreso. Bernie was anti-TPP, Trump campaigned Anti-TPP, Hillary was FOR TPP, and only changed her mind on the issue late in the race. She herself should have made it known to the Rust Belt that she was Anti-TPP now, but she sent Bernie to campaign in her place. A person campaigning on your behalf can only do so much if you aren't there

Your analysis of trade is...something else. But, I digress.
I find this topic tiresome. The election happened. Bernie could have been more supportive of HRC, he whined too much about how he was covered, and HRC probably should stop talking about it.

Thanks for the link, I do enjoy diving into such detail in voting behaviors. I think the chief problem in any of these sort of responsibility dodges is that they seek to extrapolate behavior patterns of a small number of individuals based on broad ideas that often suffer from the mistake of conventional wisdom. We see people reach for this low-hanging fruit after every difficult loss and experience less growth in defeat as a result, perhaps taking longer to reach societal growth in the longer term. I'm sure I'm coming from a biased position here, but ultimately I suspect we'd all be better off if there were less judgment, hand-wringing, and general Monday morning quarterbacking over the choice of a relative few disaffected voters and instead saw folks take an introspective course on where a campaign could have done better. Because, in reality, there are always going to be some weirdos outside the mainstream who march to their own drummer. It doesn't do much good pretending they should be different people and haranguing them afterwards for not making the correct choice.

Its probably one of the better interviews of Hillary imho. He is a very good interviewer. Love how he gets her talking and directs some very difficult questions to her.
While I don't agree with many of her opinions, she provides from interesting and juicy information about how Washington works.
