Whenever Slick gets belligerent, Slick is lying through his teeth
You are absolutely right. His rage is a deliberate ploy (and he has no doubt used it all his life)to misdirect any criticism, punishment, or attempt to get him to deal with reality. No doubt he had lots of opportunity to practice this technique, beginning when he was very, very young and no doubt his mother backed off every time. Hence, he has learned it is a very useful way for him to appear (to himself at least) as a tough guy when in fact he is a big coward who can never face the truth of anything in his life. He is, to put it succinctly, a piece of s***.
FYI, there is no way Bill Clinton wants Hillary to be elected president. He can't live with her. He hasn't for many years. Bill is on the last of his viagra years. And he's already done the White House thing. Why do it again as #2? Some many BJ's, so little time....
