Hillary Clinton’s Myth of Inevitability: How Megyn Kelly and JD Vance Shatter the Legend of America’s Most Overhyped Politician

For decades, Hillary Clinton was sold to America as the inevitable president—a political titan whose rise seemed preordained by history. But as Megyn Kelly and JD Vance recently demonstrated, inevitability is a myth that crumbles under the weight of reality, scandal, and repeated failure.

The Stolen Presidency Narrative and the Accountability Demand

The debate begins with the claim that Donald Trump’s first term was “stolen” by political operatives who manipulated intelligence, media narratives, and foreign policy for partisan gain. Kelly and Vance argue that those responsible must face real criminal accountability. They accuse Clinton’s campaign of laundering talking points through American institutions, burying inconvenient truths, and exaggerating any narrative that fit their agenda.

Hillary’s Record: Entitlement, Excuses, and Political Baggage

JD Vance doesn’t hold back, comparing Clinton’s career to a failed startup that burned billions before collapsing. He criticizes her for arrogance, entitlement, and a Senate career so forgettable it could be mistaken for a press release. Kelly adds that Clinton’s greatest strength was surviving crises, not leading through them. Every campaign she touched was overshadowed by suspicion, scandal, and blunders that could fill textbooks on mismanagement.

Clinton’s time as Secretary of State is dissected with precision: the chaos in Libya, the Benghazi disaster, and the infamous email server scandal. Kelly paints her as a politician who mistook proximity to power for actual capability, revealing she was never truly prepared for the responsibility she demanded.

Election Denial and the Deplorables Moment

Despite conceding the 2016 election, Clinton spent years calling Trump “illegitimate.” Vance and Kelly highlight this as election denial, noting her repeated claims that the presidency was stolen from her. Vance points out the irony: Clinton accused others of undermining democracy while refusing to accept her own defeat.

Her infamous “deplorables” remark is held up as political self-destruction, alienating millions of voters she needed to win. Kelly argues this wasn’t a slip—it was a window into her true perspective. Voters punished her at the polls, not because of Russian interference or sexism, but because they saw through the act.

The Failed Brand and Relentless Excuses

Kelly and Vance mock Clinton’s attempts to rewrite history, comparing her post-election memoirs to a failed CEO blaming everyone but the product. Instead of facing reality, Clinton churns out excuses: sexism, Russia, James Comey, anything but the simple truth that Americans didn’t like her. Kelly likens her to a washed-up pop star begging for encore tours after the audience stopped buying tickets.

Clinton’s latest merchandise—a mug reading “Turns out she was right about everything”—is lampooned as the ultimate symbol of denial. For Kelly, this isn’t just bad politics; it’s a refusal to accept accountability, a trait that defined the Clinton brand for decades.

Entitlement Without Substance

The harshest criticism centers on Clinton’s entitlement. She acted as if the presidency was her birthright, assuming voters had no choice but to hand her power. Her campaign relied on donors and consultants, not genuine grassroots support. Kelly and Vance argue that her claim to represent women was undermined by her cold, inauthentic style—a politician out of touch with those she claimed to champion.

Legacy: Losing When Victory Was Assured

In the end, Kelly and Vance deliver the fatal blow: Clinton’s legacy isn’t one of breaking barriers, but of squandering opportunities. Twice she lost to men her supporters deemed unworthy—a testament not to injustice, but to incompetence. Her story, they argue, belongs in business schools as a case study in arrogance: entitlement without talent guarantees failure.

The Lesson for America

Hillary Clinton’s myth of inevitability has been shattered. No amount of interviews, memoirs, or merchandise can rewrite the verdict of history. The lesson is clear—results matter, not resumes or polished appearances. Clinton’s destiny wasn’t stolen. She squandered it. Her brand is failure, her record is weak, and her legacy is losing when victory should have been certain.
