She has seen the stress and hardships of the office and, quite frankly, still wants to do it. It would be far easier for them to ride things out the way they were, still raking in money for speaking fees and what not. I am not seeing the logic in your statement. Like it or not, Bill and Hillary have devoted their lives to civil service, so there is more evidence there for their altruism than anything on Donald's side of the balance.
You say civil service, unholy pursuit of power. Agree to disagree. And, as far as civil service goes, she has been miserably bad at it. It's all moot anyway. She won't live though four years of service.
And when one seeks office to promote their own agenda, that pretty much removes the whole altruistic line of BS from the equation. The only person Hillary has ever served is herself. She's a politician. That's what they all do. To think otherwise is just blind naivete.
I would also submit that her service will be to the big money behind her. Seven hundred million is a pretty big IOU.
