Line 28:
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: As noted above, she joined Obama's Cabinet as Secretary of State. He later stated that he would have served on hers as well, had she won the election and asked him to do so. [[We Can Rule Together|She offered him the position of her Vice President]] several times during the primary, but Obama had foresight enough to know he still had a chance to win.
* [[Determinator]]: Say what you will about the woman, it cannot be said that she gives up easily.
* [[Ditch the Bodyguards]]: A trait shared with her husband. In contrast to her parents, their daughter was an aversion and described as a model protectee despite being the demographic most associated with the trope.

** In early 2008, as the Democratic Primaries were heating up, the unthinkable happened: a good number of Republicans were actually warming up to Hillary Clinton over her rival, [[Barack Obama]].

Outside observations however,
* [[Hair Trigger Temper]]: Secret Service memorie ''Crisis of Character'' was filled with stories of Hillary turning on her secret service agents for everything.
* [[Incurable Cough of Death]]: Alleged, substantiated by her publicly known health problems, of her coughing fits during the 2016 election
