Yes, it really is time for Bill Clinton to leave the campaign trail.

I think he has given Clinton daylight to open up about the changes she would make to the ACA and head toward to single-payer. Obama can come along and clean Bills statement up if he wants to but he may not want to. I think he almost has to.

1. You seem concerned. Please feel free to air more of your concerns and enjoy your stay. nt

[Mamajami]

2. Huh? It's an opinion and others feel the same way. Is that not allowed?

9. I disagree with you on Bill Clinton, but just ignore those here who will imply you're a troll.

Groupthink is alive and well on DU.

3. Welcome to DU--do tell us why you're so "concerned" about Bill Clinton.

[Mamajami]

4. I want Hillary to win and right now Bill doesn't seem to be helping her with the base she needs

to hold and increase.

5. He is unpopular with conservatives, that is true ... they are not Clinton's base

He remains a popular draw with much of the base of the democratic party

6. True, but a slap at "Obamacare" may offend some of the AA voters who are lukewarm to her.

That is risk. And already some in the media are talking about how Bill Clinton dislikes the President and always has. It just gives the media and the opposition fodder for attacking her.

[etherealtruth]

8. That may or may not be true (on a personal level I wish he would have phrased it differently)...

... but Bill Clinton 's statement likely had zero impact on PoC's choice for president. He remains very popular among democrats (acknowledging not at DU, but throughout the country as a whole) and is a good tool for increasing enthusiasm

10. Really? nt

[Democat]

11. The right wing wants Clinton off the campaign trail

Just check the DU troll threads for proof.

12. Bill Clinton today is not the same one who served as President. I agree he should probably find a

hobby or something. Bill tends to shoot from the hip these days and is of no help to Hillary, just causing controversy. Welcome to DU!
