Hillary Clinton is, like the rest of us, a sucker for the immediate gratification of TV on the internet. In an interview with People released Wednesday, the former secretary of State dished about what she has been up to since leaving the White House, including the admission that she "totally binge-watched the first season of House of Cards" with husband Bill.
