2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI don't think Bill really wants Hill to be president...
Why on earth would you boast that Hillary has the endorsement of Henry Kissinger, of all people.... And to crowds of older liberal democrats, no less???
No, this isn't a mistake. And it isn't the first time he's done this sort of thing while "stumping" for Hillary, either. I suspect that Bill full well knows what he's doing. Whenever he campaigns for her he ends up making such odd backhanded compliments, like this one! Expect more where this came from... LOL

Something about "gravitas" and other such nonsense.

Clinton Inc is losing touch.

(3,133 posts)9. I said this in 2008 when Bill said some other things, and pundits said maybe he's getting old?
I said...he doesn't really want her to win!

Maybe she made the call and he is going with it.
