The power elite (and yes that includes her shill the 1/2-elite Donald Trump) have chosen her to be president. She manipulates the levers of power and war in exactly the manner maximizing the ROI on whatever their particular interest are. They want it to stay just... like... that. Further, the resources gained via (diplomatic) power and war are getting scarce, and due to the need for wars to acquire them, are also quite expensive . Factories across the planet operate on JIT inventories of many of those materials (oil, other extractive resources up the supply chain), and disruption of that flow, even momentarily, threatens their ROI and has the potential to cause continued disruptions. They can't allow that, and Hillary knows it, so if she wants to manipulate those levers they might literally 'work her to death' just getting to the 'levers'. She IS an employee, and the bennies are world class, so she does. There are people (no more interested in shutting the MACHINE down than Clinton) who would oppose that plan for her leadership of the US and they will pounce on every opportunity to weaken her chances. Including the fact that she's an old lady and the grueling business of campaigning, no less running the MACHINE might be beyond her physical capacity. My grandmother passed in 1967 from complications of Pneumonia.She was just a couple of years older than Clinton is today, and was not in bad health... Had rarely been to doctors previously. Clinton is going to be President. Even if: http://thumbnails.cbsig.net/CBS_Production_Entertainment/CBS_Production_Ente... Rr

Here's to wishing dynasties of politcal lies around the world drop fucking dead.
Some weeks ago there was a flap over her "slipping on the ice" going up some steps in a couple of widely circulated press photos. I looked up Hillary's speech venues to place her in a town and the weather websites did the rest: No ice. No overnight freeze, mild daytime temperatures consistent with the clothing worn by all present, shadows indicated the sun at least 30 degrees above the horizon.
That's when I started paying attention: Why the lie? H. Rottendamn Clinton is an Old Lady on a grueling speaking tour, she stumbled, so what?
The closer one looks, the worse the story gets. I don't know whether to wish her a speedy recovery or to be afraid, very afraid because that would hand her a certain football to play with.

Some amusing political essays relevant to advisers and such:
==========================================
The Power Elite, C. Wright Mills Oxford University Press, 1956 https://tinyurl.com/elitepower
"Of the three types of circle that compose the power elite today, it is the military that has benefited the most in its enhanced power, although the corporate circles have also become more explicitly entrenched in the more public decision-making circles. It is the professional politician that has lost the most, so much that in examining the events and decisions, one is tempted to speak of a political vacuum in which the corporate rich and the high warlord, in their coinciding interests, rule.
==========================================
National Security and Double Government, Michael J. Glennon, Harvard National Security Journal, 2014 http://tinyurl.com/thedeepstate
"The United States has, in short, moved beyond a mere imperial presidency to a bifurcated system — a structure of double government — in which even the President now exercises little substantive control over the overall direction of U.S. national security policy. Whereas Britain’s dual institutions evolved towards a concealed republic, America’s have evolved in the opposite direction, toward greater centralization, less accountability, and emergent autocracy."
