The molding of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s image in time for the 2016 Democratic primaries got another boost Monday when a co-manager of Bill Clinton’s presidential crisis team said that the former first lady has mastered every potential disaster she has faced to emerge “more credible and more trustworthy than ever.”

Christopher Lehane, who manned Bill Clinton’s crisis team with Mark Fabiani, now his public relations partner, told Secrets, “Modern day presidential campaigns are in effect a protracted exercise in damage control, where the winning candidate is the candidate best able to handle a series of external and internal crises in ways that communicates to voters that the candidate is trustworthy.”
