Having now read the entire NY Times article, the other thing that strikes me is that it's yet-another example of Hillary thinking that Bill's presidency and experience were really "her" presidency and experience.

Many of the people named in the article were people who worked for, or with, BILL Clinton when he was president. These people are now "expected" to support Hillary, simply out of loyalty to Bill.

Why does loyalty to Bill demand supporting Hillary?

How would people in "real life" feel if faced with a demand that, if you once worked for a guy, you must support his WIFE in whatever she did later? I think most would feel the former boss was very unrealistic.
