and her current campaign wanted to distance herself from Bill.

So you're going to see the opposite: Lots more Bill, and lots more Penn.

I know his reputation and I know previously some of her staff said if Hillary brought him aboard, they would not work on her campaign. He is despised. This is one of the reasons I have been so skeptical about polls released. I believe he knows a lot about manipulating them.

Bill Clinton is not being helpful to Hillary's campaign. I am sure his ego prompts him to think he is, but it takes more than ego to positively enhance a political contest. He should remain in the background. And Penn should disappear. Hillary doesn't need any more dirty tricks masters. JMHO
