Poll: Most Think Bill Would Be Asset To President Hillary
A new poll finds that Americans believe by an overwhelming margin that Bill Clinton would be an asset in the White House should his wife be elected President. The new survey by Gallup asked Americans if they thought Bill would be "mostly helpful" or "mostly hurtful" to a President Hillary. The answers? Respondents picked "mostly helpful" by a more than two-to-one margin, 70%-29%. Making this number even more interesting, respondents reached this conclusion even though 75% think Bill will have more or the same influence over Hillary than traditional Presidential spouses. And yet despite numbers like these, commentators continue to insist that Bill is a liability to Hillary's Presidential hopes. Go figure.

1. Certainly The Chinese Do!

As do the other recipients of Clinton's "free" trade, outsource-the-Middle-Class policies.

I'd wager that Goldman-Sachs and the rest of the Predator Class also gives a big thumbs' up.

3. Of course, the Chinese were not polled, rendering your reply irrelevant

2. He may be
a liability to her campaign, providing 24/7 reasons for salivating right wing jerkoffs with access to microphones to stir the loins of the proletariat but no doubt an incredible asset as First Spouse. She could send him off to peace talks around the globe or to speak at commencement exercises or to be de facto chief of staff or to open new elementary schools in northern California, or to solve labor disputes in Michigan or to sit in on cabinet meetings or to head up various and asundry commissions (universal healthcare?) Potentially the best first spouse ever.

6. Bill Clinton serving out the senator's term
So "Senator Clinton" and "President Clinton" would flip their references. That would be fun!

7. HOW COULD HE BE............
anything but an ASSET ?


Brilliant, former great president, well liked & recognized the world over AND he's been there in some bad times.

No time needed for a learning curve on anything.

They both (already) know what to expect and how to fix it.

WHO ELSE CAN HIT THE FLOOR RUNNING FLAT OUT WITH THE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE GOOD STUFF (BACK) THE CURRENT RESIDENT HAS SCREWED UP SINCE THEY LEFT
