First, how far can Hillary distance herself from Huma given that Huma (and by extension, Weiner) has known Hillary so intimately for so many years that she (Huma) has more goods on her boss than Jo-Ann's has fabrics?
This reported rather mild "split" between Hillary and the Weiners has all the earmarks to me of being deliberately planted with mutual consent.....the object being getting Hillary's campaign off to a clean start without this kind of baggage tarnishing it.
Second, one of the most remarkable phenomenons in the political world is that many people still consider Hillary and Bill as one unit. Even though not living together physically, their followers automatically think of them as a united couple ideologically, ambition-wise or other-wise.
In fact, if they vote for Hillary in the next presidential election, it will be with the full expectations of the low-info voters that Bill will move right into the White House to help run the country.
The two are still thought of by many, if not most folks, as a "close pair"
It has required a great deal of self-control and the cooperation of the media for Hill and Bill to pull off this MINO (marriage-in-name-only). Their "single" lives all these years have not been tainted with scandal, rumors....nor even suggestive questions about their personal lives.
If they were a Republican couple, Bill would have been rumored to be dating or hopping into bed with a different woman every minute.....and Hillary and Huma would have been a "hot item" these past years.
It's remarkable how nothing touches the Clintons these days....and if it does, it's swiftly taken care of by her damage-control team and the lap-dog media.
The PR announcement of Hillary "distancing" from the Weiners yesterday is a case in point. I don't buy it for a moment....but the public in general will.
