Bill Clinton Thinks Staying in Primary All the Way is GREAT for America!

[tomm2thumbs]

I think we should all take his '08 thinking to heart --

• proud that candidate didn't quit the primary
• would have been terrible mistake for the country
• resulted in our Party being in better shape
• winner goes into general with much more activated Democratic Party

now I'm sure as a fair minded person, these would hold true for any candidate, not just HRC

_____

No need to watch the entire clip, he gets into the Jesse Jackson comments, and towards the end when asked if Barack Obama is ready to be President, says he is technically 'qualified' per standards in the Constitution, but won't say he is ready.

1. good - Bernie staying in is both good for the country AND the Democratic Party

[floriduck]

2. Straight from the horses xxx mouth!

[tazkcmo]

3. That was then.

And it was Hillary! Actually, there is no "and".
It. was. Hillary. and. that's. good. enough.

Or
It was Hillary and that's the end of it!

Or
It was Hillary and that's good enough. Period.

Or
It was Hillary you sexist!

She's special.

4. He is a "Silver Tongued Devil." We who voted for him...know what followed. n/t

5. Lol, the internet is amazing

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Isn't though?

[chervilant]

7. Blech...

Mr. "Can't keep it in his pants" pontificating about Hi11ary--I don't think he has the same attitude about Bernie.

8. Please don't let this man back in the white house

He screwed us the first time and he'll do it again.

16. "I feel your pain".

Said in a faltering and creaky Bill Clinton voice...

9. I'd forgotten how much I'd come to cringe at Bill's artful equivocating.

10. By this point in 2008 Hillary was directing all her fire at the GOP, not Obama. And she wasn't

threatening to take the fight all the way to the convention, even though she and Obama were neck and neck in the vote and delegate count.

I was supporting Obama then and I was grateful for how she handled it.

12. untrue

[eggplant]

22. Oh, please. Give it a rest. n/t

23. You seem to have a very selective memory

Hillary Clinton and her supporters were screaming about the delegates in Michigan and Florida. Then they had the DNC meeting at the end of May (almost exactly 8 years ago) and when the decision didn't go the way they wanted people behaved poorly and the one woman yelled and ended getting booted from the meeting. If you want to act like she and her supporters were graceful toward the end, then get the facts straight.

[pnwmom]

24. And your memory is glossing over how close Hillary and Obama were at the end.

Nothing like 3 million votes between them.

[stupidicus]

11. hillarians are often unintentionally hilarious

and it's really a bit mind-boggling that they don't remember stuff like that.

Must be other explanations, no?

[Feeling the Bern]

13. Both sides of his mouth. Clintons (both of them) speak out of both sides of their mouths!

[Nirgendwo]

14. Exactly.

When the shoe was on the other foot, Hillary adamantly insisted on staying in the primary. That's all I ask--let it play out. It won't be that much longer.

15. HILLARY Staying in Primary All the Way is GREAT for America! CUZ.... SHE'S GONNA WIN!!

Win the General and the final battle against Donald Rump !

[LaydeeBug]

19. ...because she was ahead in the popular vote, as she is now

Bernie is *not*. Also, the math.

[ericson00]

17. given the fact America had not elected a non-white POTUS in 2008,

and had just re-elected someone like Dubya, it wasn't unreasonable that Hillary stayed in that race until the end; yes, questions about Obama's electability back then based of something that couldn't be explained (unlike fake Clinton "scandals&quot wasn't a crazy idea. Thankfully, Obama's skeptics were proven wrong.

And don't try to pull that on Bernie being Jewish, given that in 2000, a plurality of Americans elected a Jewish Vice Prez.

18. wait, don't use my actual words to refute my actual words

it's unseemly

* oh, and by the way Bill, the correct answer for a Democrat to "is he ready to be President" was "Yes."

[tomm2thumbs]

20. after watching this other recent update, more important he stays in until the Convention

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017377513

Those numbers are ridiculously low -- especially in a change-candidate election

21. Thanks for allowing me to stop the clip...

Hearing his voice makes me want to vomit...and I like him better than her...

[raging moderate]

25. I think we should remember that Hillary has been his victim.

And it could only have been because of love. I was a Chicago girl when she was a Chicago area girl. Believe me; for a Chicago area girl to drive through the night to get down to Arkansas, she had to have been filled with love for this man. And for her to put up with what she has put up with, she has to have been filled with love for this man.

All those times when Bill broke their marriage vows, I noticed that he made a big show of attending her Methodist Church instead of his Baptist Church. Oh, the media said, how goodhearted of him! This really shows how sorry he is for what he has done to her. Having attended both kinds of churches in my lifetime, I think I know why. In his Baptist church, he would have been surrounded by a crowd of Baptist men and moved into a small back room where he would have been grilled on his sexual sins. In a Methodist Church, courtesy and consideration for guests would have prevented that little scenario. Anyway, the Methodist Church frowns much more on social justice sins, being very big on the Isaiah and Ezekiel prophecies. Bill was using the Methodist Church as a hideout.

DC Methodist Churches, please take note.

26. Her Royal Highness

is a grifter, a serial liar, a war-hawk, caused murders in Honduras and Libya...became extremely wealthy doing brief talks to the GREEDY BASTARDS...she is evil, she is dangerous...she is vengeful in the extreme..she put up with Bill's sexual escapades because her ego and her career are the most important aspects of her person...

Making up your bad stories.
