Yes, it really is time for Bill Clinton to leave the campaign trail.

I think he has given Clinton daylight to open up about the changes she would make to the ACA and head toward to single-payer. Obama can come along and clean Bills statement up if he wants to but he may not want to. I think he almost has to.
