Bill Clinton said that he was considering taking a more public role in Hillary's campaign as the election drew closer. It seems that public role has commenced in earnest: Hillary's campaign released a new video of Bill, slick as ever, praising Hillary's past experiences, and upon the first viewing, it's clear that Bill hasn't lost his touch since leaving office. However, I just about spit out my iced tea when he said that she never planned to run for public office; instead, she just wanted to do public service. Take a look at the video and give me your impressions in the comments section.

He will lie and she will swear to it. What do you expect from the Clintons? They will do whatever it takes to gain power so they can increase their wealth. I still want to aske what Hillary will charge to stay in the Lincoln bedroom, and what technology do they plan to sell the Red Chinese for campaign donations?

I hope to see her come in second in a three horse race. She is the least qualified candidate ever to run for President. She does not believe in freedom. After all it takes a village, or in this case, big big government.

The least qualified candidate ever to run and WIN the presidency occupies the WH as we speak. Based on his performance thus far he should be demoted to brush clearer-in-chief. No shortage of poorly qualified candidates on both sides though; witness the recent alleged debates.

Her 'qualifications' and past 'experience' is at issue.
Don't try to challenge her beliefs or past behaviors. If she isn't playing the victim, she is playing someone who has been 'deceived'. If she isn't playing those cards, she can't recall. If you still can get a word in, you face her righteous indignation and accusations that you are just another member of the VRWC.

I still think Hillary's too polarizing to be the candidate, but a more public effort by Bill can only help her at this point. After the last 6 years, the public has realized that a little friendly fellatio is nothing compared to gross incompetence and deceit.

I beg askance on this, but I must respond to what I have read. Bush has not sent anyone to the national archieves to remove information that would let the public know the truth about their actions. The MSM has done all the lying necessary to oppose this President. The economy is better now, unemployment is lower now. There are fewer attacks on America now. Religious groups are safer now. Residents of Idaho are safer now. Residents of Kansas City are safer now. You, if invited, can stay in the Lincoln bedroom for free. The Chinese have less influence in our government now. Hillary is sure to reverse this trend. She is a closet communist. As a feminist, she let a man cheat on her time after time for political reasons. She is not qualified to be President.

Bill is as slick as ever. He will be a strong asset to her campaign.
I think they had planned on holding him in reserve for the general election, but since she isn't running away with the nomination, he is being called in early.
The leftists on this thread wouldn't know a "qualification" if it hit them on the head, although I'm not saying that event wouldn't have any positive results.

Polls show that while Bill Clinton may be liked somewhat, he is not admired or beloved (like for instance) Reagan.
Anyway, most people do not want him back in the White House in any capacity. They look at him as a likeable sleazebag.

Just from personal experience, I'd say people are split into two camps on Hillary: Those that think she is the greatest thing since peanut butter was introduced to jelly, and those that wouldn't vote for her for second assistant dogcatcher of Mayberry. I've yet to meet anyone in the middle.
That is a huge problem for Hillary... essentially, the people she has to convince to vote for her are already dead-set against her.
Of course, I reiterate that this is just from personal experience. Your mileage may vary, offer not good in all states, coffee is hot, and all the rest of those stupid disclaimers apply.

That's putting it kindly. BJ and his fabricated high approval ratings is nothing but manipulation and fraud on the American People by the party criminals and their Media. The Rats aren't trying save the face of the most corrupt immoral president in our History , they are trying to save the only thing they have that lets them continue their criminal fraud against the people, the Hijacking of the Democratic Party. Without it they are nothing but common criminals.

Liberals liked Bill Clinton for all the wrong reasons when he was our President. As a MAN, he was one of our worst presidents.
For Hillary, she would be a poor choice to lead our country. Her values and leadership skills are well below average. It takes more than just 'smarts' to lead people. The USA needs strong leadership and Hillary would not provide it.

I imagine that, if I were seated with Mr. Clinton at our local IHOP, we'd have a great time telling jokes and funny stories.
Nonetheless, I believe he was nearly as bad as President as Mr. Carter was.
There's a difference between disagreeing with someone's policies and disliking the person. BDS sufferers can't seem to make the distinction.

Rather than simply answering the question you say nevermind and confuse the matter with another question.
You clearly figured out I meant you no scorn. I am more interested with this so called CDS and why you said "had CDS".
As much as it disgust me to say it now , I voted for Clinton , possibly twice. At the time I could care less about politics. It would be fair for you to say I now suffer from CDS however it would also be an incorrect assessment. BDS is driven by pure hate , anger and jealously. My disgust with the Clintons is the fact that they have been unpunished for their numerous criminal acts , lies and damage the have and continue to due to this Country. Are you saying you no longer want these criminal frauds to pay for what they have done?
You say you had CDS when there is every reason to still have it. while on the other hand it's almost a guaranteed that BDS will still plague the sufferers even after He leaves office when there is no basis for it. Did you just hate or despise the bent one while in office and didn't want him held accountable? Is that your position?
