‘First dude’? Why Bill Clinton could make a powerful first spouse
From the dais of the Democratic convention, Bill Clinton talked about Hillary Clinton crying, and so much more.
Bill Clinton is, in many ways, the face of some of the most controversial policies now being debated within the party.
A Clinton win in November would obviously give the country a female president.
President Clinton stressed that it was he who followed her into public service, not the other way around (an impactful point for all of those who accuse her of riding his coattails). I am exhausted of the stranglehold that women have had on the job of presidential spouse.
Not everyone appreciated the former president’s lingering over his early attraction to the 23-year-old Hillary Rodham. Hillary Clinton has given it some thought. Her staff says she’s spent weeks thinking through her message and crafting her address.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, who was in the running to be Clinton’s running mate, told Wisconsin delegates Thursday that Trump may have broken federal law when he expressed hope that Russian Federation would hack into Clinton’s emails – saying Russian Federation would be rewarded by U.S. media.
This was an audacious strategy, given that their marriage is one of the most complicated and contentious in modern politics. She spoke in the first-person plural then, and she is living in the first-person plural now. The conservative commentator said that while many young people on social media “are not buying” the political pitch, numerous 24.3 million Americans who watched the event are unfamiliar with his past.
Aides say it’s a problem born out of Clinton’s desire to make her work – and not her personality – the focus. He also hoped people would see through what Bill Clinton called the “cartoon” image of her as a dishonest and untrustworthy figure.
This is not to make a fetish of Jonathan Rauch’s 14-year rule, such rules of thumb are made to be broken, but it speaks to how utterly, drearily, inescapably familiar Hillary Clinton is.
That would mean that the closeness in the polls could be an indication that Mrs Clinton might well pull off the historic feat of becoming the 45th president of the United States of America.
Hillary Clinton will mark a new chapter in American political history tomorrow when she delivers acceptance speech of her nomination as a first woman presidential candidate by a major political party in the US.
But Clinton’s challenge has never been her command of policy. “Now, the bill they worked on, which passed with an overwhelming bipartisan majority, led to a big increase in the adoption of children out of foster care, including non-infant kids and special-needs kids”. As it were, the only potential reference to his infidelity in the speech came when he said the couple has been together, “in good times and bad, through joy and heartbreak”. “As I get more politically knowledgeable, I’m not thrilled with it”.
“What matters now that I’m a mom myself is that my mom has been fighting for, making progress on issues that really matter to me”, she told voters in Milwaukee this March.
