2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDoes anybody think Bill is helping Hillary's campaign?
He's out of touch, he's been vetted since his term, and I think HRC was foolish to haul him
out on the trail. Chelsea hasn't done her any favors either.

(15,021 posts)Between the sniping at Millennials, the failed smear jobs by media connected to her campaign, the dismissive comments of young women by older Feminists etc, it hasn't worked and much more than not has hurt her.

(25,816 posts)No political dynasties for me, and I believe the young people are rising for change.
Change is a constant, no matter how some reject or fear it.
Revolution is also a constant. The earth revolves, our planets revolve around the sun, our
solar system revolves around our galaxy. Move forward, progress.
The Clintons represent the past.

(22,308 posts)He has been saying the more outrageous stuff so Hillary can slip in her little digs under the wire.

(25,816 posts)He can say things that she might not say, but I think his imput is backfiring. He doesn't have
whatever charisma he used to have. That was many years ago and a whole new bunch of voters have come of age.

(22,308 posts)I would go see him if I could and there is no way in hell I will vote for Hillary in the primary (although I will in the GE if need be).
There must be some undecided (D)s out there who turn out to see him.
He also makes the news and that helps keep Hillary's message out there too.
I don't see how he can't be helping.

As for Chelsea... Bad idea sending her out. She's made herself look bad repeatedly, now. If the idea was to make the Clintons look more regular and in touch, she's had the opposite effect.

(9,314 posts)There was a rumor circulating some ago that he was busy behind the scenes twisting arms lining up endorsements for Hillary. I think that is where he belongs, behind the scene. The impression that he is giving is that he is going to step out and help her, and I don't think it looks good on a political horizon for him to make it appear as if she needs his protection or help. She needs to appear to be strong and can stand on her on. JMHO
