"So, how would you deal with this fool?" Clinton asked Hillary.

Hillary, however, said in surprise, "Do you really think that loudmouth will win the Republican primary?"

Clinton showed an equally surprised expression: "Do you think he won't?"

Once again, his estimation of his wife's political acumen dropped a notch; her political sensitivity was a bit lacking. If it were him, he would have long considered Trump his ultimate rival. It seemed her team of advisors wasn't particularly special either...

After some thought, Clinton decided to reduce his level of involvement in the campaign going forward. He couldn't waste his rallying power and credibility on a predetermined failure.

As one of the smartest and most capable presidents in US history, Clinton was very decisive. In the original timeline, he suddenly reduced his involvement in Hillary's campaign process, likely because he saw his wife's declining trend and didn't want to waste more "time" and "reputation."

"Hillary's political mind and tactics are far inferior to her husband's."

In the studio, Martin and Sofia were also discussing topics related to the election.

"From her recent statements, it seems she hasn't mastered engagement on women's rights issues well. You must know, although her base consists of those 'women's rights supporters,' she can't forget that the current North American political ecosystem is still male-dominated politics. You can't overlook male voters just because you support women's rights."

"In my view, she hasn't balanced this aspect well. Even among women, not everyone supports her."

"After all, most North American women depend on men. Those elite working women, female white-collar workers, are after all a minority, and most sacrifice marriage. Those housewives don't particularly like Hillary either."

"I don't believe Clinton hasn't reminded her of these things."

Sofia said, "The financial groups behind Hillary aren't supporting her strongly enough. Like the Three financiers, they say they support her but only provide financial assistance without deeply participating in her voting activities."

Martin smiled: "They like Hillary's tax policies but won't support women's rights organizations on her behalf, so maintaining this arms-length attitude is best."

"Is it wrong for women to demand more power and more equality?" Sofia was a bit angry.

"That's not it. Actually, whether it's women's rights or men's rights, it's not about right or wrong; it's just two genders competing for social power. Right now, men hold more power. If women want to take more, then what men hold will decrease. The Three Financiers will definitely side with their own gender!" Martin explained.

Sofia suddenly asked: "Martin, what about you? Do you support women? I see many of your novels and films have female protagonists."

Martin laughed: "I only side with beautiful beings, regardless of gender."

[TL/N: What about beautiful men?"

"Hmph! Slippery!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

Sofia thought Martin was being evasive, not knowing he was telling the truth.

Martin continued: "Hillary will probably play the race and gun control cards next. This was one of Clinton's killer moves during his campaign. Honestly, in terms of governance philosophy, I somewhat agree with some of Hillary's policies. But the gun control issue is something no one in power can solve. Clinton only brought it up to attract voter support; he didn't achieve anything in this area during his tenure. Haha, such a good tactic—Hillary is bound to copy it."

As Martin predicted, on February 27, the results of the South Carolina Democratic primary came out. Presidential candidate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, defeated her intra-party rival Sanders with an overwhelming advantage, winning 3 out of 4 primaries, further widening the gap with Sanders.

Before the South Carolina primary, Hillary had launched targeted propaganda in the state.

She received strong support from South Carolina Democratic Congressman Jim Clyburn and constantly emphasized gun control issues and other topics of concern to minority voters in the state. This contrasted sharply with Sanders, who only discussed income distribution inequality in South Carolina.

Not everyone dares to mention the sensitive issue of gun control, even just talking about it.

Hillary's strength comes from her husband's Clinton family behind her.

Speaking of the most powerful political families in the US, many might think of the Kennedy family and the Bush family. Actually, the Clinton family is not inferior to these two.

Although before Clinton became US president, no one in this family had ever reached the highest executive power stage in the US.

However, the Clinton family has been cultivating the US political scene for many years, with their own people placed in many key departments—such as the FBI, CIA, military, supervisory departments, and tax departments. These are all truly powerful departments.

It is through continuous infiltration of the US core power layer over generations that the Clinton family laid a deep foundation, enabling Bill Clinton to rise to the top in one step.

Moreover, the Clinton family strongly believes in physically eliminating enemies.

On July 10, 1993, White House Deputy Legal Counsel, Clinton's close friend, Hillary's confidant, campaign treasurer, long-term partner of the Little Rock law office (owned by the Clintons), Vince Foster, died from a gunshot wound to the head. His body was found in Fort Marcy Park. No bullet was found, but it was still ruled a suicide.

One witness stated there was no wound at first, but later a gun suddenly appeared on him.

At the time, this person was under investigation for involvement in massive money laundering.

Ron Brown, former US Secretary of Commerce, died in a plane crash. No passengers or crew survived.

Autopsy results showed a wound on Ron's skull.

He had publicly stated he hoped the Clintons would face legal consequences for the "Whitewater case."

A few days after the air crash, the air traffic controller on duty committed suicide.

Also dying because of the "Whitewater case" was James McDougal, once the Clintons' investment partner, later a key breakthrough in the "Whitewater case." He died of a sudden heart attack while alone under isolation inspection, though he had no history of heart disease.

In November 1993, Ed Willey, who raised campaign funds for Clinton, was shot dead on the day his wife publicly accused Clinton of sexual harassment. He was shot in the head, and police still ruled it a suicide.

Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern, worked for Clinton's campaign and the White House from 1992 to 1995.

She was a friend of Lewinsky and held important evidence of Clinton's sexual scandal.

In July 1997, Mary and two colleagues were shot dead in a Starbucks coffee shop. Mary was hit by 5 shots, each fatal.

Previously, the investigation into Clinton's sexual scandal had just begun.

And in the original timeline's future:

On June 22, 2016, former UN official John Ashe died at home from a barbell hitting his throat.

At the time, he was pleading guilty to bribery charges and was about to testify against the Clinton family before trial. He used a weight to crush himself to death.

On June 23, 2016, author and news editor Mike Flynn died suddenly at just 48, cause of death unknown. His last published article was titled: "Clinton Cash: How Bill and Hillary Clinton set up their own fund budget in 2014."

On August 1, 2016, famous reporter Victor Thorn died mysteriously at home. He was a long-time researcher and critic of the Clinton family. His new book, Why Hillary Should Not Enter the White House, had just been published.

At 4 AM on July 11, 2016, in a well-secured upscale community in northwest Washington, Seth Rich, a senior staffer for the Democratic National Committee, was shot dead just a block from home.

His girlfriend said: "During the struggle with the assailant, his hands and knees were injured, his face was wounded, and he was shot twice in the back."

Police called it a "robbery-homicide," but Seth's belongings weren't taken, and he sustained multiple injuries... He had previously worked for Clinton's partner Scott Kleeb, and the FBI was about to subpoena him.

In 2010, Bill Clinton diverted $2 million from the Clinton Foundation's charity funds to Kleeb's Energy Pioneer Solutions company in an improper manner. This was exposed in May 2016.

In 2017, Peter Smith, who was independently investigating Hillary Clinton's "email scandal," was found dead from suicide in a Minnesota bar. A suicide note stated it was due to deteriorating health and expiring health insurance.

But his suicide method was extremely strange: he put a helium-filled bag over his head, and as oxygen was depleted, he suffocated to death.

On August 9, 2019, Lolita Island owner, billionaire, Clinton friend, Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in jail. Two days before his "suicide," he had stated he would absolutely not kill himself.

He was held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where all cell facilities are meticulously designed to prevent inmate suicide.

Additionally, the cell had 24-hour surveillance, ensuring guards could monitor Epstein at all times.

But on the day Epstein hanged himself, the surveillance malfunctioned. The guard watching him "coincidentally" fell asleep.

In May 2022, former Clinton senior advisor Mark Middleton "committed suicide."

Nine months later, the Arkansas medical examiner released a report stating that on the day of the incident, Middleton left home, went to a farm 30 miles away he had never visited, hanged himself from a tree, and then shot himself in the chest with a shotgun.

Yes, the report literally said that: hanged first, then shot. It's hard to imagine how such a high-difficulty "suicide" action was accomplished...

What The Godfather, what Corleone family—they're extremely weak; what House of Cards—just entertainment. US film and television works and literature that expose darkness can never surpass their real-world darkness.

The Clinton family has a nickname in US politics—the Bloodline Clan. Their methods speak for themselves.

[TL/N: Just a heads up, guys—don't believe this stuff right away. At least do some research first before deciding if half this chapter is true, especially when it involves the Clinton family. Remember, this novel was written by a Ching Chong author and posted on a site where writing positively about China (and talk shit to other country) gets your work recommended to more readers. Yeah, Shocking right? Well i did my research on Tieba and other Ching Chong Forums.]
