The utter genius of Hillary’s non-campaign

Let other candidates talk about ethanol subsidies, or whether or not evolution is real or if vaccines work. Clinton is the globe’s Do-Gooder-In-Chief, albeit one who can command Melinda Gates, America Ferrera and the first female president of Croatia to her events.

As a political reporter myself, it is hard not to feel as if all of this is a rebuke to my chosen line of work. Here I am, hoping for some drip of news, or at least an ill-considered remark that can be read as an oblique reference to latest maelstrom, wondering how much can be read into Clinton’s vigorous nodding while Melinda Gates talks about the importance of proper data-gathering.

Instead, what comes is what actually matters about politics: improving lives.
