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.”

That is probably the most accurate representation of what hildabeast is doing now and will be doing for the rest of her life.
Crocodile tears.
What a delicious article. I got such a warm feeling reading it I read it twice again.
My hope is that the Clintons are in constant emotional pain and unable to put this aside.
Attention Must be PAID!!!
Grifters...eventually grift away...
Before that. He never should have been president. The Clinton presidency was the bastard child of a big eared dwarf named Ross Perot.
Bill probably is still the most astute politician in the Dem party, so we’re very, very lucky that the fools running their party refused to listen to him during 2016 and will continue to ignore him for 2020 ...
Bush was indeed a horrible President, and don’t forget that Bush is responsible for the housing crash and subsequent recession that was instrumental in obama being elected because Bush refused to veto the Dem legislation mandating hundreds of billions of dollars being lent to millions of people who had no chance of ever paying it back ...
The Clintons have run out of other people’s money. They have no political influence to sell, their phony foundation has dried up and no one is interested in buying their books. Their attempt at a comeback tour getting rubes to spend big money to listen to their sorry stories was a bust. I expect that Bill will meet his end with a heart attack between the legs of some bimbo. Hillary’s physical and mental state will deteriorate to the point of her needing care in some sanatorium. Both will die in relative obscurity.
Yes, and the Bush administration responded to the housing crash by bailing out the banks, while small homeowners got foreclosed on
adjacent prison cells ...
Under Obama we started to recover from the depression left by Bush. That’s a simple fact, even though I don’t like a lot of Obama policies. My retirement account was decimated under Bush; it came back during the Obama years.
We almost had bank runs during the Bush crash/recession. People were worried about credit freezing and ATMs shutting down. If you don’t remember, go back and look at the news articles from fall and early winter, 2018. People were fearing a rerun of 1929-1930. Good riddance to Bush. And to Freepers who would not tolerate any criticism of him during his disastrous presidency, please re-evaluate the way you look at the world. Reality is more complicated than “republican-good, Democrat-bad”
“Bush refused to veto the Dem legislation mandating hundreds of billions of dollars being lent to millions of people who had no chance of ever paying it back”
You’re too easy on him. Bush and Rove actively supported such policies. Rove saw it as a way to get Hispanic votes
Bush was no great shakes as President, but idiot Obama was a disaster.
When talking Bush #45 one should always remember the raging psycho he chose for his VP. The one who cobbled together The Project for a New American Century in early 1992. It is a blueprint for perpetual war that Bush embraced.
