She gets him to come visit her by saying that she misses him but soon he realizes she only needs his money. Meanwhile, Hillary’s campaign manager wants nothing to do with Bill in Hillary’s campaign. Regardless, Hillary still makes a deal with Bill that leads to much trouble. She gets way more than what she bargains for and Bill makes a scene. He goes to one of Hillary’s conferences for her, making a huge scene by using profanity. This draws attention to Hillary and wins her New Hampshire. All Bill wanted to do was help but Hillary did not intend on winning this way or really at all. She made a deal with “The Other Guy” to not win anymore states and be his Vice President when he won. So when she wins New Hampshire she has a surge of emotions. Although, even in the most vaunderble moments, Hillary still seems to guard her emotions no matter what. There is much disagreement throughout the play about Hillary’s campaign and the way she needs to express herself. Mark, her campaign manager, and Bill have had very opposing suggestions as to how she should go about winning without knowing of the deal she has already made. Through the difficulty of the election and all the ups and downs, both candidates are not sure if they want to be President of the United States. They claim that it turns you into two people giving you two personalities. Both candidates discuss if they really want to spend the next couple years being someone they are not. After a long discussion Hillary eventually comes to the conclusion that she may not be President in this alternative universe but the possibilities are endless and she may be President in another alternative universe many light years away.
