Reply #74: It was way over my line too [View All]

I honestly think I will like a Hillary Clinton Presidency much more than Bill Clinton's one should that come to pass. Much like many marriages, I prefer one spouse to the other. It is tricky having an ex-President as your husband no doubt. But I am more comfortable now than I was before the campaign started that Hillary will ultimtely be the one running the show in the White House when the talking and the buck stops.

Bill loves campaigning, and he is very popular still with rank and file Democrats, so it is hard to keep him out of the spotlight, and sometimes it would be foolish for Hillary to try given his overall popularity with Democratic primary voters. Plus Bill feels his legacy is being attacked by other Democrats and he becomes defensive. It is a delicate dance, and an unprecedented one in American politics to be sure, that we are watching.

But I know more about Hillary Clinton now than I did six months ago, and I have a better appreciation for how gifted and formidable a person she really is in her own right.
