BILL EFFIN' CLINTON TONIGHT ! ! !








May I kindly remind you this is more than a former preceding president.
More than a Democratic Superstar.
More than a Joe Biden Cheerleader.
He is more than eloquent.
He's better than he was in 1992 and he was SOMETHING back then!


This is a man with a mission. He's been sitting and rocking on his hands since November, 2016. After all the insults and harm hurled upon his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton by the sitting President, Donald Trump.* They used to socialize together. Friends. Golf. Weddings. And Trump drove a steamroller over Hillary. Bet Bill wanted to say something at the time, but was restrained from doing so. Especially after Trump "invited" about ten Clinton accusers to one of the Debates who sat in the front row.


Not that he's going to make tonight about him or Hillary. But it will be there nonetheless. Bill's got the keys to the steamroller tonight. And Trump's in his path. He's really looking forward to his time at the Convention.


* Don't get me wrong. Clinton's done more than his fair share to hurt his wife and that's between them. Doesn't mean that Bill doesn't care about someone else trying to destroy his wife.

Whereas President Obama is the best President of my lifetime, and President Carter is the most honorable President we've ever had.

We've got an embarrassment of riches on our side. All of our guys bring something to the table.

If anything, Bill has probably spent a great deal of time trying to compensate for his failings.

Former President Bill Clinton remembered the late Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis on July 30 at his funeral in Atlanta. Clinton remembered first meeting Lewis in the 1970s, and said his “mission was bigger than personal ambition.” He said that that Lewis kept moving forward in his activism even when he was threatened with violence in his fight for civil rights in America.

“John Lewis was many things, but he was a man,” said Clinton. “A friend in sunshine and storm, a friend who would walk the stony roads that he asked you to walk, a friend that would brave the chastening rod that he asked you to be whipped by. Always keeping his eyes on the prize, always believing none of us will be free until all of us are equal.” Clinton said the New York Times op-Ed Lewis wrote before he died, which was published on July 30, was akin to “marching orders” from the late congressman. In his memory, Clinton suggested that “we salute, suit up, and march on.”

That will always eat away at me. Bill should be speaking at Hillary's renominating convention next week.

I think his best speech ever was 2012 at the convention for Obama

Neither Reagan or GHWB would if they were alive either.
