As Hillary Clinton is at the beginning of her second campaign for president, her husband Bill -- "42" in White House parlance -- appropriately has been laying low, presumably to let her gain the traction she needs to be her own candidate.
But a recent article in The New Republic suggests that Bill should go one step further for the entire 2016 political season for his wife to succeed -- that he should Stay. Away. From. Hillary. he article goes one step further in offering the unsolicited advice that if Hillary really wants to be elected in 2016, she'd better steer clear of the hubs.
Somewhat surprisingly, it's not Bill that could keep Hillary from the White House, but rather the ill will some women feel toward her that comes from an odd mix of views on marriage and feminism. I've stopped counting the number of women I know who've said they can't forgive Hillary, let alone vote for her, because she didn't divorce Bill over "what the meaning of the word is, is."
Regardless of how much or how little Bill Clinton appears with his wife on the campaign trail, he will always be the political elephant on the Clinton stage. Daughter Chelsea and grandbaby Charlotte are likely to appear with Hillary throughout her campaign, so whether Bill is actually standing with them or not, his specter will be always be present. So to suggest, that Hillary needs to "lose" Bill is the most impractical and least useful political advice anyone one could offer Hillary.

No doubt.
While half of her votes will come from liberal women voting for the first woman president, the other half will come from people who believe (hope) it will actually be Bill calling the shots.
In a normal world that would be a DIS-qualifier.
I can’t help you with why does the chicken cross the road.
Or, why does a dog.......again, never mind.

“I’m NOT some Tammy Wynette standing by my (cheatin’) man!” - Hillary Clinton to voters in 1992
There are voters COUNTING on seeing Bill return to power (in 2008 he said he’d sit in on White House meetings ‘if asked’).
NO THIRD TERM. Hillary already served 2 years as unelected co-president. Healthcare was her task.
They haven’t shared the same bed since Monicagate and probably not the same bedroom since he left the presidency.
Their “marriage” is the biggest sham/scam known, and is solely payback for Bill for his sins.......no doubt Hil could destroy him if she wanted to - but she’ll pay any cost to become the most powerful woman in the world - ever.
Hopefully she’ll never get there. More and more it’s looking like her campaign is a total disaster to the public (we’ve known it all along). But any Repub candidate other than Bush or Christy will rip her to shreds in the general election.........
Yep.
I agree.
