The notion of a 2-for-1 Clinton presidency is back.
Recalling sunnier days of growth, low unemployment and budget surpluses under her husband, Hillary Clinton is telling Americans that Bill Clinton will be "in charge of revitalizing the economy" if she wins the White House.
What his work would be remains unclear: not a cabinet post, she indicated. But, as she has been saying for months, she expects him to play a leading role.
Bill Clinton reigned over a strong economy, especially in the final years of his presidency, yet his economic legacy is mixed.
The late 1990s were the last period to see sustained income gains for the typical American household. Middle-income wages have stagnated since then.
But his refusal to step up regulation of exotic financial instruments known as derivatives was blamed in large measure for the collapse of the financial sector years later. The tech bubble of his time burst. And his agenda was driven by support for free trade deals, including one that gave China better access to the U.S. market, that are held responsible by elements of both parties for driving jobs out of the country.
Still, in those pre-9/11 days, it's a stretch of peace and prosperity like Americans haven't seen since and with her latest remarks, in Kentucky, Hillary Clinton is more firmly laying out how important he would be to her agenda.

With all the carefully crafted poll driven rhetorical policy diarrhea that spews forth from the Clinton household over the past 25 years there are only two memorable lines that capture the essence of the couple “I never had sex with that woman” and “you mean with a cloth or something?” Otherwise everything else they have uttered from a podium is a blur.
Hillary’s reply to TRUMP; “You can’t come after me in a personal way; I have a secret weapon to win this election, I have a VAGINA”.
Trump's reply to Clinton: "I don't care."
