• Here's what people should look at as they look at a public servant. Do they have a passion in their life that showed up before they were in public life?

Hillary Clinton has that passion, from a time as a kid in a methodist youth group in the suburbs of Chicago, she has been focused on serving others with a special focus on empowering families and kids.
