The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a government hallway, President Obama greets Hillary Clinton with stiff pleasantries while Luther voices what he really thinks, and Clinton answers by introducing her own translator, Savannah, a brash Arkansas woman in a gray suit. As the two politicians trade polite remarks about her campaign and his support, the translators spell out the resentment underneath: Luther takes digs at Bill and the interns, while Savannah fumes over the 2008 nomination she believes Obama stole and vows to flatten every man who ever stood in Clinton's way. Her fury grows so wild that even Luther tells her to tone it down and scolds her for embarrassing the future president, and after the leaders part with one last round of insults delivered through their translators, Luther concludes that some people are just too angry.

Eight years ago, I had a lock on this job until you showed up out of nowhere and you stole it from me. When you knew damn well it was my turn. You think I ate all that standing there smiling next to my pussy-hound husband so I could turn around and become Secretary of State. Guess again, mother ! Stop my job and I'm gonna get it back. And it's not gonna be easy because you screwed the pooch six ways to Sunday. Folks, just to soon vote for a skinned possum as a Democrat. But that's okay, because I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna win this election and I'm gonna bury you and every goddamn man who ever stood in my way.
