Ex-President Clinton's Presence Seen As A Plus For Hillary 2016 Bid [Bill Popular as Pope Francis!]

Ex-President Clinton's Presence Seen As A Plus For Hillary 2016 Bid Published September 07, 2014

Hillary and Bill Clinton’s visit next week to Iowa marks the former first lady’s first trip to the key voting state since her failed 2008 presidential campaign and a likely reminder that any future vote for Hillary will also be one for the country’s most powerful political couple.

The Clintons will officially be in Iowa on Sept. 14 to headline the Harkin Steak Fry -- an annual fundraiser for Democratic candidates that this year will honor Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin’s retirement.

However, essentially every political observer thinks Hillary Clinton will run for president in 2016 as the clear Democratic front-runner and that the visit to Iowa is a step in that direction, considering Iowa's presidential caucuses will begin the 2016 nomination process.

Former President Bill Clinton is enormously popular among Democrats, with polling numbers that have remained high since leaving the White House in 2001, despite his late-1990s scandal involving then-22-year-old intern Monica Lewinsky.

A NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll this spring showed him with a 55 percent approval rating, putting him in a tie with Pope Francis for one of the most popular world figures. Clinton left office with a similar rating.

Bill’s going to have a full time job going around cleaning up behind Hillary and explaining what she “really” meant.

I keep wondering what’s in it for him if she becomes POTUS - does he really need this for anything more than getting back on AF1????

You’d think he would sit back and enjoy all the money he’s been showered with - play golf - enjoy his mistresses. Impossible to believe it’s because he think’s his little pumpkin would be good for the country, or that he is just doing this for her.

Hogwash, along with those razorbacks she detests. What a joke. This woman is a pathetic excuse for a human, just like her “husband.”

“Eight years for you and eight years for me” she was quoted as saying. Heaven help us. Eight more years of the same crap as slick Willy and the feckless fool on the hill? We are doomed! Heaven help us.

There should be binders full of ex-employees to complain about them. Wonder if many or none will come forward?

How about the various women he abused.

It’s difficult to imagine anything that Hillary might have on Slick, keeping him in line, that might possibly embarrass him.
What might cause discomfiture to Boy Clinton?
It’s an exercise in prurience, I know.

It sounds like the “ladies” still have the hots for Slick Willie.

If he hasn’t died from a heart attack or stroke (not to mention her, they both look awful) before she wins her first primary, I’d be amazed. I really don’t think she’s running, though. Have you seen a recent photo of her? I’ve seen people at funerals that look better, laying in a casket...

If Bill were republican, the last time anyone would have heard about him would have been shortly after the scandals started breaking during the 1991 primary.

I remember naively thinking, “well that guy is toast”, I also remember later seeing the special 60 minutes interview after(?) the Super Bowl, which if my memory is correct, consisted of about a 15 minute special show of a 60 Minutes which seemed to be purely a Hail Mary, to save Clinton.

Bill Clinton is not as popular as the say he is. He won two presidential elections with a plurality of the vote. That means more people voted for someone else then voted for him.

**************************
Many stories have already been leaked about Hillary. Former SS agents, AF1 flight crew members, White House staff and even Billy C. himself, who was quoted as saying something like ‘she’ had munched more p***y than he had.

This article sounds more like an MSNBC piece than Fox News. Did they get bitten by the “Clinton love bug”?

I saw a piece on Fox News yesterday that showed Bill at some event in MA, of all places, talking to a half-empty auditorium.
