Believe me I don't consider her the smartest woman in the world, in fact quite the contrary. It comes from an old Hillary joke I heard.  

Hillary is on a flight with an old Priest and a young student. The engine goes and the pilot comes out and tells them that they have four on the plane and only three parachutes. The pilot takes one and says "I need to survive so I can tell what happened", opens the door and jumps out.  Hillary jumps up and says, "I'm the smartest woman in America and I need to survive", grabs the second parachute and jumps out of the plane. The priest turns to the young man and says" Son, I've lived a good long life and you have your whole future ahead of you so go ahead and take the last parachute". The young man replies, "Relax Padre, the smartest woman in the world just jumped out with my backpack". 

Its really a crack about the elitist attitude of the Ivy League educated class that seems to screw up pretty much anything they touch.  And yes, it is going to be a long, exhausting election cycle.
