There is no absolute certainty that Hillary will lose the nomination. Absent serious chicanery however it seems likely. That is, the hope and dream of a lifetime, the reward for decades of putting up with Bill, the penultimate female achievement, will be lost.
Hillary Clinton nee Rodham, will have failed . The lying, the over billing, the sequestering , the parsing were all for naught. The quest is over. All that is left is bitter memory and the offshore corporations and bank accounts.
It has been the legend since the beginning…….. The Clintons have a marriage of convenience and a bargain for power. That is no longer in play. The quest for power has been stymied. The prize is lost.
What now of the Marriage? Is it viable? Will it last? Is it now held together by the fragile threads of endlessly long contracts describing the relation between the parties and the offshore stashes of plunder?
The question of the day should become…. When Hillary loses, how long will it be before the divorce?
This then is the Bill and Hillary divorce pool thread.
Spousal Immunity.
Mutually Assured Destruction
Arkancide, Maybe...
I think possibly a 7/5 for a divorce.
Depends of course on the track condition and the weight.
For sure, it will not be a Maiden Claiming race.
She’d never give the right the satisfaction.
They will divorce on the grounds of “willful suspension of disbelief” towards each other.
They will lead separate lives till they want to shake somebody down or for a "cause".
Bill will have his girlfriends.... Hillary will also...have her girlfriends.
Does anyone know if Hillary smokes? Her teeth sure look like it.
Both will continue to canoodle with others, and they will maintain the fascade of a marriage. Either way, the only way that they will ever sleep together is at republican funerals they have to attend. (and I've got a dollar that they will show up at Castro's funeral, along with Obamanation.....
Part B of course, is when Hillary will “come out”.
After watching Hil recently, I have a better understanding of Bill.
....murder and suicide?
Maybe they can share girlfriends
What, then, is the ultimate achievement?
The Clinton marriage is based on the FDR-Eleanor model. Hillary won’t leave Bill unless he becomes a serious liarBillity. If he goes to far, it will a slow untraceable poison, and she’ll benefit from his surge in popularity after he’s gone. Whenever she leaves her senate seat, she’ll emulate Al Gore or run for governor of New York state. She may be permanently cooked as a presidential candidate, but the presidency isn’t the only game in town. And even her favorite Republican, Richard Nixon, was in her position once or twice.
Divorce no - Arkancide, Maybe...
I think you two have summarized the current and potential scenario quite nicely.
Can’t wait to see the line from the Vegas bookies once she crashes and burns.
Too late, after so many Forensic Files episodes, coroners know to test for succinol choline and arsenic, unless cocaine masks those other drugs.
Nor will there be much a purse.
What is the statute of limitations of their too numerous to count crimes? Don’t forget about husband-wifenon-incrimination in testimony. (The tie that keep the cuffs off).
Right, depending on how financially painful divorce would be, it might have to be Arkancide.
January 21, 2009... after Obama is sworn in.
Besides, if Hillary is seen cohorting at odd hours with other middle-aged women who wear “butch” hair cuts and oversized jewelry, it’s just her natural constituency, and so no one would suspect any problems with her marriage, would they?
No, she has the other vice that can lead to that. Never brushes.
Hillary will never divorce Bubba as long as he lives, nor will she remarry if she outlives him, because if she did either, she’d have to give up the Secret Service detail.
Good point. And apparently she doesn’t get a long well with Putin, so he wouldn’t help her out in her time of need if she asked.
Wow! Does this mean Bill will become the worlds most eligible bachelor? Guaranteed to be headline gossip for the tabloids for the next 10 yrs for sure.
bj & piaps will never divorce....they do not live together now and each have their own girlfriends......
They will never divorce, the divisionof property would be akin to Yalta. They just don’t have the energy to divorce.
Hillary will never “come out”. I guess I am a minority but I don’t think Hillary is a Lesbian. She doesn’t mind lesbians but she isn’t one.
Chelsea is going to be pressured to run for congress in the next five or six years. If she values her soul, her life, she will refuse.
Bill will die soon. In the next couple of years. It will not be fast. He will become a cardiac cripple.
Hillary will run again four years from now.
We are not done with them, by a long shot.
Betting question:
When a guy in the old movies takes money during a fight scene, how does he calculate the payout?
"$20 on Frank!" "Ok, I'll cover you!" "Here's $10 on Ted!" "$5 on Frank!"
How does all that come out? Is that 25 pays 10 on Frank?
I think she may become VP. If that happens she will stay with him.
I hear ya!
......she’d have to give up the Secret Service detail.....
There have been many very good points made this morning, but I really like this one.
The old girl has some real bad enemies.
I’d go 3-1 for divorce, unless she is going to run again. Then they will stay together ‘for the sake of the nation’ Barf
She could possibly run for President again. After Obama screws the country up, she could run on the “See, I Told You So” ticket and get elected and finish America off.
“Spousal Immunity. Mutually Assured Destruction”
You have a wicked sense of humor.
Losing spousal immunity is suicide. Won't happen.
Hillary is a longterm lesbian. I suspect early on she was bisexual which appealed to Bill, two women in bed with him. I'll bet there are some wild threesomes in their sordid past. Somewhere along the line Hillary quit the bisexual twist and went full lesbian. Bill was left to sneaking around praying on opportunities.
The funny thing about this is everyone is admonishing Hillary for not divorcing Bill. Actually, they should be asking Bill why he didn't divorce Hillary and her perverse ways.
What would be the point? He lives his life, she lives her life now. They already have no commitment so why bother and divorce is expensive.
Bill and Barbara BS Streisand?
Bill and Britany???
Just like Nixon in 1968. Only she’s in the same party as Johnson and Obama.
The more likely question is when will Bill get the "Foster" treatment?
Then again he might surprise us and get her first.
I don’t believe they will divorce.
As I understand it, they haven’t been living as husband and wife for years. So why rock the boat with a divorce since there never really was a marriage?
He has always had his affairs with his girlfriends, and she has always had her affairs with her girlfriends. Apparently they don’t share them.
The big thing they do share is their money. It is in both their names (as I understand it). Again, why should they divorce?
I think you are correct...after Obama goes into office...her star will be fairly dim. There isn’t any reason to hang around Bill. Its the best time to dump the guy. I’ll also bet that Bill marries within twelve months.
You beat me to it!!!
I should have read all the posts first.
We are brilliant, though!!!! :)
I know they Clintons are from arkansas, so I should have guessed they are cousins, too.
