Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumI think I see why Trump is so pissed at the Clintons
The Big Dawg, out campaigning for the Democratic Front Runner, still brings people to their feet! He knows how to fire up a crowd without resorting to dumb attacks on Trump or anyone else. Bill will not be taking the bait. Not from Trump and not from Sanders. No wonder everybody is so mad about Bill being on the campaign trail for Hillary, especially the Donald.

(30,058 posts)candidates, why not campaign for his wife. He is a very good speaker, Trump may think he can scare Bill away, wont happen. Trump has not been a perfect husband either.

(54,415 posts)Supporters of ALL candidates (except Hillary) of both parties can't stand it that Bill is so popular. That's two other Democrats and a LOT of Republicans. And, to be fair, while it may turn some of Bernie's supporters all sorts of colors of the rainbow, I'm sure plenty of others are level-headed enough to accept it as a fact of political life and not lose sleep over it--just as their candidate wisely appears to be doing.

(11,916 posts)and even before Bernie came along, I thought Bill should be out on the trail more for Hillary. He has a draw, warmth, charisma (whatever you call it) that sometimes doesn't come across from Hillary. Not that she doesn't have it at all, but it's more consistently displayed with Bill. He also has an awesome ability to explain things in simple terms and use humor in making his points.

(54,415 posts)I just want to see us keep the White House, period. The thought of more Scalia clones on the Supreme Court is about as welcome to me as fracking waste in my drinking water.
I have experienced Bill Clinton up close often enough to confirm your assessment. I have NEVER met a president with his kind of intangible personal magnetism, and I have met most of them since LBJ. Helen Thomas assured me that JFK was the same way, but I was 11 when he died. I never got the chance to find out.

(3,536 posts)Isn't Hillary a big proponent of fracking? So you may not get the Scalia clones on the SC, but you sure as heck are going to continue to see drinking water being contaminated by fracking operations...

(54,415 posts)Has she come out in favor of fracking? I haven't seen anything either way.

(4,542 posts)One is seen as personable and honest, the other portrayed as weak or cloying. I doubt that is anyones surprise.
Just another hurdle for HRC.

(6,537 posts)People of my age will remember how they hunted WJC from his first day in office; it blew up in their faces. He ended his second term --SECOND TERM -- with approval ratings higher than when he took office. All the crap they threw at him failed because most folks knew it was a political hatchet job.....like Benghazi! is today. It was soooo over the top. So if it didn't work then, when everyone was hearing about all the so called scandals every single day (they even formed a house committee to investigate his fucking Christmas card list!) then how do they think it will work now when no one that isn't Republican or a Berniebro doesn''t give a shit? Do they think young voting adults today are somehow more sexually prudish or judgemental than they were 20 years ago? I doubt it.
What's that definition of insanity? Doing the same failing thing over and over thinking it will finally work?
