Is Bill Clinton Sabotaging Hillary's Presidential Chances On Purpose.....
I had this discussion with a friend. He thinks that Bill really doesn't want Hillary to be the President. He thinks that Bill wants to be the only Clinton president and that recently with his remarks about GHWB and throwing the dice on Obama and other spillings of the mouth - that Bill is purposely sabotaging HRC's chances. He really doesn't want her to win. Be it ego or a husband/wife thing or Bill just trying to get back at HRC - he is either consciously or unconsciously making her tank.

There are those out there that think Bill is more of a liability than a help to HRC.

Perhaps Gore had it right when he didn't embrace Bill to campaign for him back when he was running.

Maybe HRC should think about drawing Bill back from the campaign trail.

1. I doubt it
I think he'd love to get back into the White House, and if it requires his wife to do it, he'll support her all the way.

3. I doubt it, too. I think this is all calculated; Bill's taking the heat so Hillary
can slide under the radar.

4. Bill never worked in a campaign when the Interenet had reached
such influence.

He would never do anything to hurt Hilary's campaign intentially.

Bill, along with a lot of Democrats and Media are somewhat
out of touch.

They are still trying to run campaigns the old way. Also, they
forget they are in a Primary and not a General Election.

I am sure when he made the comment about Daddy Bush, he was
trying to emphasize HRC would reach across party lines.
He has to get his DLC thining out of his head and talk
like a Democrat.

They cannot ignore Activisits any longer. Bill would never
intentionally hurt Hilary's campaign.

5. Good reply to an interesting question.
I think Bill is trying hard to help Hillary, but is out of touch and out of step with the times - to the extent that he ends up undermining her campaign.

6. Fucking good question!
Either that or #42 has become senile..look at all the sabotaging shite he's come up with lately now that he's taken the reins. Is there any carville-matalin influence in here?

9. i had a similar theory, but nothing to prove it...
Bill is in his 60's and survived a major heart scare. Does he really want to put up with 8 years of the crap the office entails and retire an elderly man with little time left?

I haven't thought of the sabotage angle but I have entertained the thought that he doesn't want to go through this again...

11. But bill needs to be in
lime light..schmoozing. So, I'm thinking he's lost his muse.
