LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — When a Republican state legislator in Arkansas pushed last year to rename the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Clarke Tucker stood up for the former president.

Mr. Clinton, who was governor and attorney general of Arkansas, was once a near-ubiquitous presence helping Democrats in tough races back home, but the former president hasn’t been asked to appear on the trail for Mr. Tucker.

There are no plans for him to do so. Or, for that matter, appear publicly with any Democrat running in the midterm elections....

I thought VD would do him in - but who knows? Slick Willy might have had multiple STD’s and was treated in secret.

Surprisingly......even the NYT says Bill is getting the cold shoulder b/c of how he treated women.

In this age of Weinstein and Cosby ......abusing women you have power over is getting a bad name.

Wasn’t that Clinton’s doctor’s physical assessment?

The stop in Texas really puzzles me. Must be a lot of old time Clinton supporters wanting one more look at Bill & Hillary.

Your picture shows Inforwars on an anti-Clinton t-shirt. This week I saw 2 cars with Hillary for President and Inforwars stickers on them. The dichotomy is hurting my head a bit.
