Graham called the Clintons "wonderful friends" and "a great couple," quipping that the former president should become an evangelist and allow "his wife to run the country."

I'd be unhappy if he told everyone to vote for her, but that's not even close to what he said.
Silly old man!
Maybe he thinks that seeing a hellbeast like her in office will do more to drive people towards Christianity than he ever could...?
"...allow "his wife to run the country."
Run the country INTO THE GROUND!
The clintons played that old man like a fiddle.
Please explain. BG has his son looking over him, surely Franklin knew what was going on. Why did he allow this to happen?
Blaming in on the Clintons is sooooo '90's.
It doesn;t matter what he said or how he said it or what intent and meaning he had in mind: ---
It's HOW SHE and her campaign will use it that counts.
/not sarcasm... we're Republicans...
I wonder what they have on him?!!!!!!!
She can't even run her own "husband".
Find the actual quote. It says something like "Bill would leave Hillary to run the country." Which is rather funny.
What better way to usher in the rapture and the end of the world, and return of Christ.
That pretty much says it all.
Bill would LEAVE HILLARY...
I think we are going to see a dramatic change when his son Franklin takes over the reins completely.
Franklin just does not have his dad's fire (though the fire has mellowed considerably in recent years, where nobody's his enemy and everyone's his friend).
That said, I do like Billy Graham.
He was likely just being overly charitable like a good reverend, but his statement has left me perplexed.
Sorry, Graham is obviously in his dotage and apparently senile. He should have stayed home.
Sad to retire with this grotesque remark the last thing anyone remembers.
