Video clip by NBC News. Clinton interviewed by Cheryl Strayed.

Note: When Clinton hems and haws on her answer, Strayed gives her an out by asking about her grandchildren, Charlotte and Aidan. Most grandparents leap at the chance to gush about their grandchildren. Not Hillary, she ignores the chance to talk about her grandchildren and makes her comment about dressing up as the President for Halloween. Very telling.
