he has some kind of cachet with a lot of people.

I don't get it. But I don't get Taylor Swift either and people like her.

Oh hell no, "bill is dicking bimbos" from the leaks, why do men think they can talk about women that way especially in professional environment?? calls clinton greedy and all these terrible things. We dont need someone who got us into the iraq war to endorse Hillary.

bridges in the stuff he snarked about HRC in those leaked emails. Let him stew in his own juices with the Republicans. He had a chance to totally break with them over the past 8 years and didn't. Besides, Powell's history with My Lai is enough to doubt his trustworthiness. Tack on the sale of the invasion of Iraq before Congress.

I think he would endorse her if he wanted to regardless of party. He endorsed Obama two times.
