“It sounds to me as if the Clintons aren’t 100% certain that Obama and Lynch have her backside covered. That’s very interesting. Why doesn’t Hillary trust Obama? Lynch is Obama’s puppet; she is at DOJ to do Obama’s bidding and nothing else.
Let’s get something very clear, politicians do not meet on a private jet in an isolated spot at an airport to discuss their grandchildren! No. Hillary is worried.
Very interesting.”
OTOH, if she wins, then HIS influence fades to zero in about 5 minutes, because SHE is the President, SHE is the go to person (or, more likely, Bill) to get access. Pay to play with the Clintons will go into hyperdrive, and all that Obama will have is a measly book and a diminishing schedule of speaking engagements as time passes.
Nope, Obama doesn’t want Clinton to win, not at all. He just can’t be open about it - he has to make it look like she failed all on her own, despite his “help.” That way he retains credibility among Dems, and also strokes his ego (”I’d have beaten Trump easily, I beat 2 better candidates than him, plus Hillary”).
Just remember, politics makes for strange bedfellows. I think it ironic that Obama may be Trump’s greatest ally.
interesting point
I hope that you are correct
but on his own, is zero that ambitious?
I agree with you on almost all points.
I do think that Obama needs Hillary to win to cement his legacy. Hillary won’t trash Obamacare, or overturn his executive orders or appoint conservative judges.
Trump on the other hand just might.
