Clinton’s Life in Exile: The Once-Powerful Political Couple Now Seeks Attention, Audience
Newsweek ^ | 23-05-19 | BILL POWELL

Posted on 05/23/2019 12:59:12 PM PDT by Monrose72

One evening earlier this year, an old friend and adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton sat down with the former president for dinner at a quiet Manhattan restaurant. Bill, the friend says, looked thinner and more tired than he had in some time. He is 72 now, 15 years on from open-heart surgery and the complications that arose from it. He was, the friend says, a “bit sad, and more than a bit angry.”The 2020 race for the White House was underway, and not many of the ever-expanding field of Democratic contenders had phoned him or come calling to discuss what it is like to run a presidential campaign. A lot of the contenders seemed to be scrambling to the left to satisfy the progressive wing of the party “and the angry Twitter-verse,” as Bill’s dinner companion puts it. “This guy’s political brain is still sharp—among the sharpest in the party—and he worries that [the Democratic Party] may be frittering away the chance it has to beat Trump next year.” That’s where the anger comes in. And the sadness? “He realizes, politically, he’s in exile, and to some extent Hillary is too. This is a tough time for them.”

My theory is that Social Security Reform was W’s baby, and when it was rejected, he checked out.

The era of Big Bush, too. Not much difference between them]

Exile? They should be in isolation.

I was once asked, “who was a worse president, Clinton or Bush?”

I answered, “Yes”

Clinton did that Waco-killing thing with Janet Fry ‘Em Reno.

Bush became a stooge for the NWO Cheap Labor Express.

Yep.

Truth is - it’s Hillary who destroyed Political Hillary with all of her insane rants and coup attempts.

A FReeper asked if he was on the sauce again.

I’d say he’s had a few there. That would be my guess.

That was at a FUNERAL for 5 Dallas cops killed by the Black Lives Matter terrorist.

Cry me a river Bill. Sheesh...I don’t feel one ounce of sadness for Bill or Hillary. They both need to be in jail. They should be pariahs in the nation for what they have done. It’s not like they see each other unless there is a need for a “forced” photo op.

... and then he raped a waitress.

Bill Clinton is garbage. Always has been, probably always will be.

Obama, followed by Carter, followed by LBJ.

Unless of course you are one of the people who believe Lincoln should be at the top of the list. I'm still trying to make up my mind about that.

Maybe they could be managers in the minor league wrasslin circuits. He could be like a pimp personae. And she would be a great heel, like Bobby “the Weasel “ Heanan

”The 2020 race for the White House was underway, and not many of the ever-expanding field of Democratic contenders had phoned him or come calling... of course not. Both Clinton’s have been shown to be the corrupt assholes they have always been

You mean all those democrats running for president for the first time want advice from someone who got 43% of the vote when he first ran for president? Brilliant!

At this stage in life, Bill thought he would be a respected elder statesman.

Today, people think of him as a dirty old man.

never thought I would agree with a statement like yours but after time looking back I agree with you 100% and now seeing what Bush brought about (who during that time I fully supported) I just shake my head. Clinton wanted to be loved and he would compromise if it got him that.
