but he managed to take Hillary out of the race within three months.

Fourteen years ago, that "nobody" was George Bush's very own son.

And 22 years ago, that "nobody" was Hillary's very own husband!

If Hillary's Dem opponent doesn't bring up memories of things like Tuzla and the Clintons' own ties to Wright and Rezko, her GOP opponent might. Wondering if history will, or should, repeat itself is a very legitimate question.
