An Argument Clinton Shouldn’t Make

Matt Bai: “In case you were wondering what Bill Clinton’s pet cause might be in his wife’s administration…Bill, she said, would be in charge of rebuilding the national economy… Economic policy isn’t something for which you name a czar… It’s kind of a central plank of the presidency. It’s the reason we elect you, more or less.”

“If Hillary wants to keep inspiring the little girls of this country, she probably shouldn’t go around saying she’ll turn over the big stuff to her husband… Because the larger problem with Clinton’s statement is that it exposes what’s really missing from her campaign — the vulnerability she’s left herself, even against a candidate as flawed as Trump…However admired a politician Bill may be, Americans don’t elect presidents with the expectation that their spouses will do the governing. She of all people should understand that.”
