Reynolds The Grifter can sap the life out of anyone. The Clintons are amazing. They have somehow grown very, very rich through public service. Other politicians have done well by doing badly, but the Clintons are in a league of their own. As the second most disliked politician running for President according to polls, one wonders why Clinton needs to keep on keeping on. The answer is: that is what grifters do. A grifter swindles you, but a good grifter can get you to thank them for taking your money. Grifters are not just thieves, but parasites. They generally hijack another person’s accomplishments and use them for personal enrichment. Clinton was married to a President and parlayed this role into a lackluster Senate career, a failed bid for President, a disastrous term as Secretary of State, and now another run where despite having the field cleared for her, is still struggling. She is not a very good communicator, campaigner, or manager. If you are nodding so far, then stop. Think about it. Like any other part of society, Christian organizations are loaded with grifters. Nothing is so successful that a grifter cannot bleed it dry in a few years. No organization is so robust, that a grifter cannot leave it ravaged in less than a decade. Clinton has lived the Way of the Grifter on such a large scale we can recognize the signs from her life. Let us not bemoan the grifters in public life and fail to see them in private life. What is the Way of the Clinton? The grifter rides the ideas or accomplishments of someone else to power. The really good grifter (like HRC) can somehow manage to turn the “Clinton administration” into a joint presidency, even though she was not . . . President. Sometimes this is direct, as in being given your job by Daddy, but often it is indirect. The grifter is always a huge name dropper. He or she is the protégé of everyone. Every famous person (especially if safely dead) is their best friend. They were Timothy to one hundred Pauls or in the case of HRC, Paul to one hundred Timothys. The very good grifter like HRC can make you feel bad for challenging what everyone knows: she is the most qualified candidate ever. Don’t think about the qualifications of even a fairly minor President like John Adams or all the jobs held by George HW Bush. Clinton is the most qualified person ever . . . and she can name drop those pundits who agree. Another form of grifter will hijack a good thing, a church or ministry, to turn it into his or her personal till. The grifter is brutal to subordinates. The grifter will be charming at first and is always flattering to people they need. HRC can raise money with the rich and famous. The “little people” had better not get in her way. The Christian grifter will scream at a subordinate or take a low level employee to task for almost nothing. I knew a grifter in California (not at any place I worked) who lost her mind to an aide over the color of a Sharpie. Because so much of the grifter (credentials, accomplishments) are puffery or fakery, the grifter gets very angry at any lesser being who might expose them. The very good grifter like HRC can make you feel bad for her failures or take the color of the Sharpie seriously, because you just let down the very person this country needs.
