Some things I will never understand. And one of those is, how Bill dying would give Hillary sympathy votes. People who disliked Hillary would have voted for her just because Bill passed away??? Why would they do that??
Those on the fence.
I know someone who wanted Joe Biden to run because his son had asked him to do so when he was dying. The person said she would vote for Biden because his son was dead and she felt sorry he would not see his father run to fulfill the deathbed dream. Sympathy votes are pure emotion and lack any rational explanation. I am sure there are people who would have voted Hillary, the poor grieving widow.
