(This is PURE SPECULATION, I am not asserting it, just think the episode is out of character enough to warrant speculation)

By that I mean, Bill doesn't really want Hillary to be President, so he's letting out little zingers like this to help derail her, while looking like it was an innocent mistake.

Now, why would Bill maybe not want Hillary to be President? I bet most of the gals here could have some ideas as to why. And some of the guys, too.

Again, this is just pure speculation. Why is the master politician screwing up so badly on his wife's campaign? Doesn't make sense, unless it's senility.

Please note my avatar before jumping my case, folks. I am voting for the D candidate in November. The primary I'll keep to myself for now, maybe forever. There is good and bad on both sides.
