 Ed Kline's Take on the subject.

Bill And Hillary's Argument.... an interesting take on the failed bid to be Pres.

Quote
In the waning days of the presidential campaign, Bill and Hillary Clinton had a knock-down, drag-out fight about her effort to blame FBI Director James Comey for her slump in the polls and looming danger of defeat.
'I was with Bill in Little Rock when he had this shouting match with Hillary on the phone and she accused Comey for reviving the investigation into her use of a private email server and reversing her campaign's momentum,' said one of Bill Clinton's closest advisers.

'Bill didn't buy the excuse that Comey would cost Hillary the election,' said the source. 'As far as he was concerned, all the blame belonged to [campaign manager Robby] Mook, [campaign chairman John] Podesta and Hillary because they displayed a tone-deaf attitude about the feeble economy and its impact on millions and millions of working-class voters.

Quote
During the campaign, Bill Clinton felt that he was ignored by Hillary's top advisers when he urged them to make the economy the centerpiece of her campaign.
He repeatedly urged them to connect with the people who had been left behind by the revolutions in technology and globalization.

'Bill said that constantly attacking Trump for his defects made Hillary's staff and the media happy, but that it wasn't a message that resonated with voters, especially in the rust belt,' the source explained.

'Bill always campaigned as a guy who felt your pain, but Hillary came across as someone who was pissed off at her enemy [Trump], not someone who was reaching out and trying to make life better for the white working class.'

 Hillary and her people decided they needed Obama's help, so they couldn't exactly admit that the economy was still weak in many areas of the country. Every Hillary ad was about Trump. That no doubt resonated with her natural supporters, but she needed to do more.

Quote
'Bill also said that many African Americans were deeply disappointed with the results of eight years of Obama,' the source continued.
'Despite more and more government assistance, black weren't economically any better off, and black-on-black crime was destroying their communities. He said Hillary should have gone into the South Side of Chicago and condemned the out-of-control violence.

Like any democrat will admit this in public. Dems blame whitey and they blame guns. Never inner-city culture or lack of personal responsibilty.

Quote
'A big part of Bill's anger toward Hillary was that he was sidelined during the entire campaign by her advisers,' said the source. 'He can't be effective if he sees himself as just another hired hand. He wasn't listened to and that infuriated him. After all, he knows something about campaigns, and he told me in early October that Hillary and her advisers were blowing it.
'Hillary wouldn't listen. She told Bill that his ideas were old and that he was out of touch. In the end, there was nothing he could do about it because Hillary and her people weren't listening to anything he said.'

When it comes to political instincts and savvy, wouldn't Bill Clinton have some credibility? Not to Hillary's staff, apparently.

Had she followed Bill's advice she likely would have won.

So Trump ran in part on Bill's advice, and he won.

Bill Clinton was simply one of the most gifted, effective & successful political figures in memory.

Others in that category include Nixon, Reagan and Obama. Maybe Johnson, too.
