re: Hillary Clinton Alternate History Series ‘Rodham’ in Development at Hulu

She has no lasting accomplishments and no lasting contribution to political discourse.

That could be said for the majority of legislators throughout history.

But I’m not sure I agree that she hadn’t added any lasting contribution to political discourse.

As First Lady she began the push for a more socialized health care system that paved the way for Obamacare and perhaps ultimately a more Sanders like universal healthcare system, for better or worse.

You can agree or disagree with that approach but you can’t argue that it wasn’t a significant addition to the discourse.


Now granted, that was dependent on being married to the President, which appears to not be the case in the world that this series is presenting, but we’re talking about whether or not she is worthy of being portrayed on screen.

Name one thing Hillary is famous for besides

2. Running for President twice and being humiliated by underdogs
3. Overseeing the most disastrous period of foreign policy in modern history as Sec of State

Well I’d argue those two things alone make her a compelling enough figure to see her portrayed on screen, especially considering that she is easily the most serious female candidate for the highest office in the land


As for her being the “embodiment of corruption and graft”, wouldn’t that alone be compelling enough to show her story on screen?


All I said was she was a major political figure in this time in our history. Pretty much everything you posted, and the heated manner in which you presented it, confirms that she is indeed relevant and has a story worthy of being shown.
