With Hillary we get a loose cannon called "Bill"

[Seeinghope]

Does anybody know exactly what Bill is going to DO in the White House if Hillary Clinton is elected? Seriously. So far he played around with the election laws at voting stations in MA and again in OH and then let loose on his "super predator and prison"rant to a group. He cannot fill the traditional role of "1st Lady". Has he healed himself and stopped his "womanising ways"? Or will there be more affairs? Will he be able to shelve his ego and remember that he isn't #1 in the 1st couple any longer. He will be in uncharted territory. So will we.

I honestly don't know what all can happen with the two of them at the helm. It kind of scares me. Bill Clinton is quite not what he used to be....that can be good or bad.

I think that this is an extremely important question to ask because Bill isn't going to just sit back with a nominal role and should he be under a lot more scrutiny because of the prominent and important place in which he will reside. With his previous health issues would he be able to handle a stressful post and/or position in the Clinton White House? I think that this is a very important and necessary question that needs to be thought about, asked and answered.

1. Meh

[Dem2]

2. You concern is noted

We can worry about this if/when it's imminent.

[Seeinghope]

4. By then doors are closed and choices are lost.......when the time is imminent then what?

[geek tragedy]

3. Sanders is kind of a loose cannon himself.

Pope trip, unqualified blunder ...

[Seeinghope]

11. Not even the tiniest bit of a comparison. We are talking about Bill Clinton. We know who he is and

Al that we might have to wonder about. Like I said we never had a man be a 1st Lady. Especially a man that was President of the United States. It is a very very different situation for sure.

[geek tragedy]

12. He won't be president. Hillary will. nt

[Seeinghope]

17. Bill has quite an ego. I don't know how much he will be able to defer to her.

[geek tragedy]

25. Doesn't matter. She's the boss now nt

[tularetom]

5. Maybe he'll do something stupid and illegal and get her impeached

Let me amend that. He'll almost surely do something stupid and illegal. Maybe it will result in her impeachment and removal from office.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Would his behavior lead to her impeachment?

Is she responsible for his behavior?

I don't think so.

How do you make that connection?

16. Ah, I see. Thanks! n/t

[brooklynite]

6. Here's a guess; he'll run the Clinton Global Initiative...

[Nuclear Unicorn]

13. Taking money from people and nations subject to Hillary's policies.

That is as bad, if not worse, than Cheney and Halliburton.

20. What the hell?

Bye

26. They make the Bushes look like slackers. nt

[Hekate]

30. If you think Halliburton and the CGI are equivalent, you know nothing of either entity

Pathetic

[Nuclear Unicorn]

32. Skirting laws, climbing into bed with tyrants, unjustified wars of aggression, graft --

All the things I was led to believe a Progressive Democrat would never countenance, let alone vote for.

[Hekate]

34. Were you even born before BushCheney came on the scene?

I am being civil here, because that is a bucket of gigantic falsehood with which there
can be no dialog.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

36. Then explain the debacle of Libya.

For starters.

[Codeine]

7. My cat's breath smells like cat food. nt

[nc4bo]

8. I'm sure there will be deals to be made somewhere........gotta keep the slush slushy.nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Should I go with "LOL/NT" or "Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Says Hi"?

[msongs]

19. with bernie we get a loose canon called "Jane". what should they all get divorced? nt

[BillZBubb]

23. She'll have the perfect bagman for the Clinton "family business".

There is big money to be made off of "favors" to the rich and powerful.

[Kalidurga]

24. I'm not worried about it, because I didn't vote for her.

I will see if I have to worry about it in June until then that's for Hillary supporters to worry about like the ones I over heard talking today. They said they voted for her with their fingers crossed that Bill wouldn't become a distraction if she wins.

[bbgrunt]

27. It's time for them to go. Enough bushes. Enough clintons.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. He's a lot of fun when he's not cranky.

[Hekate]

29. Christ on a trailer hitch, you guys really love carrying RW water. He's a busy man...

He's fully involved in the CGI that he and Hillary founded. And doing things like negotiating for the release of Korean-American journalists.

Spouses do not have a "post or position" in the White House, "stressful" or otherwise. Traditionally they are hostesses. They receive an allowance, not a salary, and it is for all the hostessy things they do and the social secretaries they employ.

At least until the late 20th century, when women such as Hillary and Michelle became FLOTUS, women who had professional careers up to the point when their husbands became POTUS. Then those women were forced to give up their paid jobs and become unpaid adjuncts to the POTUS.

So that's the precedent. Bill can do like Bush Senior and put his assets in a blind trust. He can become an ambassador at large. It can be decided that he really is a person separate from Madam President.

All the rest is just a rather sexist speculation garlanded about with Right Wing hatred of both Clintons.

And what I've been saying all along is that Democrats ought not let the RW choose our presidents for us.

[Onlooker]

31. You've cited a couple of smallish mistakes Bill made ...

... Going into a polling place is legal, but soliciting votes and campaigning is not. Clinton supporters, including MA officials, who one presumes support Clinton, said what he did was legal. His opponents said it was not. In the other case, he tried to defend his wife to BLM, politically not the smartest thing to do, but pretty understandable. Once the nomination issues are settled these sort of issues will recede.

What will he do in the WH? Well, through his Foundation, which his progressive opponents will come to see has done a lot of good work on AIDS, climate changing, education, and other matters, and through his connections made as a President with a pretty successful foreign policy, one would expect that Clinton would be a very good roaming ambassador of some sort. He would also be a good adviser. There's a reason that many people back Hillary -- it's because overall they have positive memories of the Bill Clinton presidency.

33. With Hillary you get a Loose cannon called Hillary.

Seriously.
She prefers an Iron fist over understanding. She showed that in the NY Debate When she couldn't even say that the Palestinians deserved an ounce of respect.
She is Homeopathy in this race.
She leads people to believe that she can fix the problem with a few pandering words that never make it past the echo in the back
of a room.
She IS the problem.
All of Washington is the Problem.
Feel the Bern is more than a slogan.It is the way we bring our media back and evolve.
The echoing Fawning media that knows these congress critters, hang out with them,go to barbecues with them.
Rub elbows.
They all want to be part of the Washington Clique.
We have talking head shows that soft ball them on stations owned and operated by people who support the politicians they are supposed to be impartial on.
Hell, I can't even watch MSNBC or CNN anymore because they sound like fox. I guess like Hillarys campaign thinking they can mend fences later that they feel they can bring their audiences back after lying to them like they did during the Preemptive strike on Iraq that Hillary voted for.
What liberal progressive issues will she "Evolve toward the right" on to pander to people who will never vote for her?
Off to work now.

35. Either is unacceptable. Both are unendurable.
