Should Bill get off the campaign trail and let Hillary run by herself?

[kentuck]

I have no doubt that Trump will continue the sexual bullshit so long as he is on the trail. Perhaps Hillary should remind him that she is the one running for the Presidency and people that live in glass houses, like Donald Trump, should be careful about throwing stones. The American people deserve more from any person running for the highest office in the land.

[Agschmid]

1. Yes.

[highprincipleswork]

2. I think Hilary should separate herself from Bill and indeed his whole administration. That would be

the smart thing to do.

It also would be incredibly feminist.

[arcane1]

3. Not while Hillary is talking about putting Bill "in charge" of anything.

[highprincipleswork]

4. That's the part of her that thinks going back to the 90's is a winning game. NOT!

[scscholar]

31. This

She painted herself into a corner when she talked about putting him in charge of the economy.

[emulatorloo]

5. That shit is gonna backfire on Trump.

Blaming a spouse for the other's spouses infidelities is not a winning campaign strategy.

[Tarc]

6. Trump doesn't dictate how Hillary will run her campaign, bro

Bill is an asset, the GOP and their talking points can go fuck themselves.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

11. Did you just refer to kentuck as "bro"?

Grow up. He asked a legitimate question

[Tarc]

17. Stop whining. The question was stupid, we all know it.

No one but an amateur (which is why I'm glad Devine & Weaver will soon be out of the picture, what a sorry-assed campaign they ran for Sanders) makes panicky decisions based on perceived criticism by the opponent. This is Alinsky 101 here.

7. Out of the two I much prefer Bill. Trump or any other politicians will continue using

the sexual bullshit to go after her. Anyone who has ever thought this wouldn't be a big part of this election and that the media and pukes won't use it is crazy.
I'm not going to waste my time defending them from things in their past that will be brought up, over and over. Welcome to 2016, where a whole new generation is getting ready to have a rehash of the Clinton years forced upon them 24/7, and I'm not talking about the good parts of Bills presidency. I'm talking about the sleaze being pushed from back then.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

8. Yes. But if this is a serious question, he should have been disappeared a while back

[Tavarious Jackson]

9. No matter how ugly it is ..

It has been proven Bill is an asset. He really does help a lot. Al Gore distenced himself from Bill and he lost. Had he used Bill as a surrogate, it would not have been close enough for republicans to cheat.

[NWCorona]

20. Al lost because the recount was stopped. Pure and simple.

[senz]

10. I hear he's been all over California wooing voters.

It doesn't really hurt to have a former president as a spouse. In fact ... it probably helps ...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. That would mean Trump cowed Bill into not campaigning for his wife...

That's not how you deal with bullies.

[panader0]

14. Bullhorn Bill has become an embarrassment.

People are reminded of his impeachment, lying, NAFTA, and the idea of a political dynasty.
And he's the good Clinton.

[Demsrule86]

25. Only to bitter Bernie types

The majority of us love him.

[Demsrule86]

27. Soon I won't have to listen

to bitter remarks like this...can't wait!

[panader0]

30. Be kind and love me....

[snowy owl]

18. LOL. You stole my words . . .

[seabeyond]

16. Yup. I would love to see Bill not a part of the campaign. Nt

[Demsrule86]

24. So would

Trump.

[bigwillq]

19. Yes

Bad enough Hillary is on the campaign trail. Now, I have to put up with Bill? LOL

I wish Bill, Hill and Donald Dump would all move to mars.

[procon]

21. Sure, both Sanders and Trump would be ecstatic if Bill wasn't campaigning for her.

He's on the campaign trail speaking on her behalf, and if he left, her effectiveness and outreach to voters would be instantly cut in half. Here's the thing, Democrats love Bill Clinton and they've heard everything the GOP has thrown at him for decades so it's just meaningless background noise. Republicans, of course, eat that shit up, and Sanders people are giddy at the prospect of weakening Hillary.

[BootinUp]

22. No. What makes people think Trump wouldn't still act like this anyways?

Bill is very effective in the role he is playing. The HC campaign knows what it is doing.

[Demsrule86]

23. No

He will say what he says..screw Trump...the big dog will help us win.

[JoePhilly]

26. Bill will be a net positive for Hillary.

Bill is still remembered as a strong and popular President.

And every time the GOP has attacked him, they've had their ass handed to them.

Same will hold true in the General.

People LOVE the imperfect hero.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. He used to be the Michael Jordan of politics, so I would have said no.

He really came through for Obama in 2012. He still deserves props for that.

But he has seemed off this year. If he gets his mojo back, he would be a powerful asset.

[doc03]

29. I don't see where he helps, sometimes I think he has gone a bit senile. n/t

[840high]

32. He's frail - physically and most likely

mentally, too.
