HRC - (Hillary Rodham Clinton), is an esoteric rebranding of Hillary by those who move to do such things upon the eve of an election. An Amazon excerpt on HRC reads as follows:

It is hard to clearly calculate how a Hillary presidency might play out. She has an advantage that none of her male predecessors ever enjoyed. Hillary has just about done it all. Hillary is both an insider and an outsider at the same time. She knows the ins and outs but should be far enough from it all to maintain sufficient deniability.
Hillary had an inside view of the enormity of being the president, and was a Senator, and Secretary of State. She tried and failed at universal healthcare before Barack got it done so there are a few key areas of attack that Hillary may be prone to, but not many of them involve Hillary directly.
Ask Rand Paul. He understands the strengths of this political engine, but what he doesn't realize is that what was once an 18 wheel diesel has become a freight train. Hillary is undoubtedly going to be aided by the masterful skill and the positive record of her husband Bill, but he is the caboose of this train. Hillary no longer relies on him as she might have prior to her latest round of seasoning. If Monica Lewinsky is revived, Bill could become the bane of her existence if his philandering becomes central to her trust quotient that is an element of being presidential. At least that is what Paul is hoping for.
Paul is more than a conservative, he is a republican rebel (aka Libertarian) so he must offer up red meat for his rebel republican base, which the attack on Bill represents. What is unclear is whether or not he will shift gears to hook the Hillary caboose to the Obama legacy. If Barack Obama is still fighting for the merits of his signature healthcare law, Hillary will hug up closely to Bill and avoid Barack like the plague. If ObamaCare is thriving and not simply surviving, Hillary will have the best of both worlds to choose from, but may track back to Barack in order to define herself independent of her famous husband.
The biggest danger for Hillary is showing up too soon for this party. Hillary could almost benefit her hopes by pretending that she may not actually run instead of leaning her head into the fray. Today's modern media frenzy, which has seen the next presidential election start way too soon, is only valuable to the media outlets who need ratings. To the candidates themselves, less is almost always better. The longer you stay out in the battle, the more bruised you become.
HRC, the above mentioned book, is the beginning of the Hillary bruising. In it, Hillary is depicted as a strategic, wheeling and dealing pragmatist. This book offers an insider perspective on the path to become the most powerful woman alive, but it reveals the toes that get stepped on along the way. HRC shows the Clinton that we already expected and the unknown Clinton with a capacity for retribution. With the Benghazi to Bridgegate comparisons, it is likely that Hillary will gain more comparisons to her potential republican opponent.
The reality with Hillary is that she will be the only potential candidate treated as the foregone conclusion. Her pathway to the presidency is paved in platinum and trimmed in gold. If she isn't ready to start the walk yet, then her opponents will simply have to fire their bombs at her platinum pathway.
