How can someone who spent his whole life in politics do something that stupid? And, he isn't even a candidate!

Just say, "I don't like it, looks fishy, but it wasn't Hillary, and I still like her because A, B, and C."

Instead, it's "Lie, deny, obfuscate, spin, lie some more."

For crying out loud, Bill Clinton was elected after a famous sit down mea culpa with Hillary Clinton on national TV. People love to forgive. We've all made mistake. But people absolutely detest liars and double talk, especially of the unrepentant arrogant sort. For God's sake, just admit that what happened happened, that it wasn't a big deal, and move on. At some point I start to wonder where the culture of corruption around Hillary's campaign originates. I mean, I'm basically left with two broad options. She's a decent person for whom a dishonest campaign has been created by unscrupulous political operatives, or it starts with her and Bill. I'm not sure I like either option.

Look at this County


Earlier I was going to say Bill was stupid to risk being arrested only to add a handful of voters for wife, but looking at the chart you posted, 3409 vs. 3408, wow! He could have made a difference.

^^^^^ This is exactly what I had wanted to say, but you said it better. I was going to say, if I were a voter at the poll and Bill Clinton approached me, I would tell him that I was not voting for Hillary; I hope he would ask me why...

I know that you think you're playing some important role in her candidacy, but all I can say is, "Wow." You need to add a little humility and honesty to your bag of tricks. It goes a long way with people.
Again, thanks for saying that. Exactly my thought, except my words would not have been so "controlled".

That is absolutely not true and I am tired of hearing it from Bernie supporters. I expect to hear that kind of tripe from the far right but NOT from someone who calls themselves a progressive.

Bernie Bros online have done more to turn people off than anything I have ever seen. I constantly have to keep reminding myself that I actually LIKE Bernie but cannot stand his holier-than-thou-vote-with-your-vagina voters.

I have my own concerns about Bernie's platforms. Let's remember - he will need Hillary voters if he wins the nomination and he absolutely cannot win a general without that crossover.

I would like Bernie so much more had I never come into contact with his rabid fan base.

I'm pretty sure I could swap out Hillary for Bernie and we would be in agreement. Except that I DON'T like her.

Starting to feel that way about Bernie with the crowd he attracts.

Just like I dislike the Trump crowds and think they are every bit as dangerous as he is.

Holy cow. Bill Clinton looks and sounds as if his days are numbered (sorry to say that). He almost seems like a stranger to me--but behind the frail look, we know the slicky nature remains and could only be worse. Conparing to 74 year old Bernie, Bill looks like a centenarian.

(does anyone know what's wrong with him? I hope he has Obamacare )

Good Lord.

Is this what people are worried about? If Bill Clinton was haunting my voting precinct, I'd pull out my phone and take a selfie with him.

Then I'd go into the voting booth and vote for Trump. +

He had no business being that close. It doesn't compare to regular folks wearing campaign paraphernalia.

Mr Bill is about as close as you can get to actually having the candidate there.

Somehow it seems Clinton supporters like the dirty tricks those two play and get away with.

Dems love illegal actions. The ends justify the means people. They will walk over your suffering body in order to achieve their goals.
