Born at the stroke of midnight (12 AM CST).

Lost the 2016 U.S. presidential election to Donald J. Trump, as she lost the electoral college, though she won the popular vote by 2,868,686 votes.

She kept her maiden name until 1982, when she changed her name to Hillary Rodham Clinton on the advice of her husband's campaign staff during his run for Governor of Arkansas. She wrote in her memoir "Living History" that, "I learned the hard way that some voters in Arkansas were seriously offended by the fact that I kept my maiden name." After announcing her second run for the presidency in 2015, her campaign confirmed to the Associated Press that she was dropping Rodham from her preferred name, and would henceforth be known as Hillary Clinton.

Used to be a Republican and volunteered for Barry Goldwater when she was younger. She became a Democrat when she attended Wellesley and later on met Bill Clinton while they were attending Yale University.

She is a spicy food aficionado, often snacks on jalapeños, and carries hot sauce with her, as she says it helps her immune system. She mentioned this during an interview on New York City's 105.1 FM the Breakfast Club in 2016 and it became a minor controversy as the comment was accused of being pandering to black voters, as carrying hot sauce had been recently popularized by a lyric in the Beyoncé song "Formation", though Clinton has been quoted as far back as 1995 stating she carries hot sauce with her.

[during her 60 Minutes (1968) interview in 1992 with her husband by Mike Wallace in response to how she feels about her husband's infidelity] I am not going to be some Tammy Wynette "Stand By Your Man..."

[speech to wealthy donors, June 28, 2004] Many of you are well enough off that... the tax cuts may have helped you... We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.

[Interview on Today (1952), 1998] There is a story out there, for those who care to report it, and that is the vast, right-wing conspiracy that's been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for President.

[July 3, 2007] I believe that presidential pardon authority is available to any president, and almost all presidents have exercised it. This [George W. Bush's quick commutation of the sentence of convicted perjurer Lewis Libby, aka "Scooter", former Chief of Staff of Vice President Dick Cheney] was clearly an effort to protect the White House . . . There isn't any doubt now, what we know is that Libby was carrying out the implicit or explicit wishes of the Vice President or maybe the President as well, in the further effort to stifle dissent.

I always take time to worship God in as evangelical a way as is feasible, given time and location constraints. As you know, I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if you want to know the truth, so it's nice to be home again in the South, which I really consider my quote-unquote home even though I live in New York most of the time. Well, Washington D.C. most of the time, actually, but if I'm not there I'm in New York, of course, but always thinking about being here, in the South, my spiritual home.
