Bill and Hillary Clintons Life in Exile: The Once-Powerful Political Couple Now Seeks Attention, Audience
One evening, ... an old friend and adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton sat down with the former president for dinner... Bill, ... looked thinner and more tired ... He is 72 now, ... He was, the friend says, a bit sad, and more than a bit angry. [SNIP]
This guys political brain is still sharpamong the sharpest in the partyand he worries that [the Democratic Party] may be frittering away the chance it has to beat Trump next year.Thats where the anger comes in. And the sadness? He realizes, politically, hes in exile, and to some extent Hillary is too.
This is a tough time for them.For reasons both political and personal, Bill and Hillary, the most powerful couple in the modern era of American politics, stand on the sidelines as one of the most important election cycles for Democrats unfolds. [snip]
They have been cast aside for obvious reasons. Democratic politics have changed markedly since the Clintons ruled Washington. The economic successes of the era were rooted in centrist policies:... balanced budget... free trade. Now, in both parties, there is not much of a constituency for either. [snip]
None of that, of course, is at the heart of Bills exile. In the #MeToo era, the personal has become the political. And his history of skirt chasing... is no longer defensible...When Hillary insisted ... that her husbands affair with... Monica Lewinsky was not an abuse of power because she was an adult, the press reaction was scathing... the furor had a profoundly depressing effect on the first couple... For Bill, it brought up all the bad times, and it showed yet again that Hillary just has no political fingertips. It couldnt have been worse.

sorry for the stutter...
she’s not only power-hungry, she’s money-hungry
Wow, that is quite a surprisingly balanced article from Newsweak. Reading about the Clintons’ suffering at the hands of Trump and his voters makes me feel good all over.
Bill and Killary are washed up has beens. They just haven’t realized it yet.
It’ll be standing room only at the Pearly Gates when they go.
“.When Hillary insisted ... that her husbands affair with... Monica Lewinsky was not an abuse of power because she was an adult, the press reaction was scathing.”
When was the press ever scathing when the Clintons were involved? This crap is made up wholesale by these liars.
If they do go down and their ugly sow daughter too, itll be an almost lock that Obama wont be too far behind.
Can you imagine the reaction from the impeach Trump now cabal?
Whenever I read about these two mutants I always point out that its probably been almost a year since Ive seen a video clip or even a still photo where Hillary Clinton is standing up.
Do we have an en extradition agreement with Bahrain?
I object to Bill being chacacterized as a skirt chaser. Its a despicable attempt to minimize and normalize the serial sexual abuse of women and minors. Its like referring to Michael Jackson as fond of children.
There is nothing mysterious about the Clintons fall off of their platform. Their inventory ran out; with no access to their main suppliers, creating a global domino effect.
As stand alones, theyre worthless. In fairness, like most narcissists, Bill showed a certain charisma in his younger days that is all dried up now. He must content himself with having to pay for his Narcissistic Supply.
Theyre proving that capitalism does indeed work, by not being able to unload $2 tickets.
As further evidence, the once fawning media, including Fakenewsweak, is turning on them, like the vipers they are.
The once loyal dim party today, views Hilly as toxic waste; a position they would have been well advised to have taken decades ago.
The important takeaway for Hillary; granted, she was a lawyer, albeit a stupid one: there is no statute of limitations on treason.
Beautiful words. For this, I thank God every day.
How much is in the Clinton Foundation?
How many favors were paid for and how many are owed?
If they can’t deliver, then hide.
“Damn. I was hoping theyd moved to Bahrain.”
If Bahrain is a non-extradition country, your wish could come true.
It would be interesting to know where they’ve stashed their ill-gotten gains off shore. If there’s a way to find that info, we’ll know where they might be living out the end of their miserable lives.
just to be clear, it was not a Clinton admin policy to deliver a balanced budget: that came from Gingrich and R’s - when Republicans had some spine. also, if they think their exile is painful now, just wait until the shoe drops from further investigation of the e-mails and “investigation” of same. even corrupt Dems will force her into perpetual shun-dom due to this additional baggage.
“How come they have never been audited?”
There’s a chance an audit is part of the investigation Huber is (allegedly) doing regarding the Clinton Foundation.
“I bet they purchase their grandchildrens gifts and write them off to the Foundation or as business expense.”
Isn’t it a fact that Foundation money paid for Chelsea’s wedding?
her husbands affair with... Monica Lewinsky was not an abuse of power because she was an adult, the press reaction was scathing...
—
It was? I must have been out that day.
The press was not scathing. Not in the least.
Women and most people could no longer justify or excuse Bill’s treatment of women coupled with her defiant rude attitude.
At the democrat convention, there will be four ballots with no winner.
Hillary’s name will be put forward on the fifth ballot and she will break the deadlock and win the nomination
That is what is shown in the crystal ball
DO not for a minute think that she won’t jump in. I think that she is going to run again.
As much as I detest that woman, look at the field of democRAT losers. Biden, Crazy Berine, Beta, Buttslammer Pete, Warren, Jelly-brain, DeBlasio....etc. The ‘beast could come in and mop the floor with them.
