Hillary Clinton is going to hand off the economy to her spouse?

[T-Bone]

If this does not spell out in big bold font that she is unqualified, then nothing will.

The economy is so important to her, that the way to solve the economy issues is to hand it off to Bill Clinton. Because he supposedly has a proven track record.

And it's true the economy flourished under Bill Clinton, but he was not the sole reason. He was working with a republican Congress that held his feet to the fire. And we had for balanced budget amendment that will never see in our lifetime again. And we got welfare reform.

But more important than anything, when is only a few seconds on the clock, the star player does not say give the ball to someone else. The star says "give me the ball, coach"

In her own mind, she's not the star of the team. That is a defeatist attitude.

To be fair, her husband isn't some schlub, he was a president that, as you said, worked with a Republican congress to the benefit of the country. I wouldn't say it means she's unqualified, but she is simply doing what a lot of presidents do; utilizing a trusted advisor.

What in the actual fuck are you even talking about?

Good leader lead. Great leaders delegate to those who know what the hell they are doing.

 

[uncommon]

Its a diversion.

Shes really going to hand it over to corporations, this covers her tracks and makes bill look good at he same time.

Are you asking me? A quick Google would have given you all of the information that you would need. You know.

But she already told the media that we have it on video that she would not be Hands-On with the economy. She would hand it off to Bill Clinton.

You are right about good leaders delegating. But the economy is huge. It is the number one issue facing us. Because we need jobs. And when the economy falters, everything falls right behind.

The economy is something that you do not hand off. Isis is something that you do not hand off. These don't need a czar. And the economy certainly doesn't need Bill Clinton who, would not have been successful unless he work with the Republican Congress at that time. It's a different climate now.

Sort of reminds me when Bill Clinton hand it off and Healthcare to Hillary. It was almost as if he did not want his DNA all over that plan. And it's a good thing. Because she got the poke in the eye. Not him.

If you're trolling for amusement, this is actually kind of funny-bad.

If you're serious or trolling to annoy, this is sad-bad.

It is common courtesy that if you are going to post something like this, that you provide some form of source.

Otherwise it just sounds like you are talking out of your ass, and making things up.

Not a troll. I thought it was an interesting subject.

FairPoint. Let me see if I can post the link to either YouTube video or a news article.

LOL at thinking Bill Clinton alone is going to handle the economic issues facing the country. It was a bit of pandering on Hillary's part - Bill is well liked, and was known for balancing the budget towards the end of his presidency, so ofcourse she's invoking the late 90's economic status of the US. It's something everyone has joked about since the beginning - if Hillary gets in, at least Bill is back in the white house. But Bill isn't going to be handling anything.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

To be fair, now she can concentrate on her true calling: war mongering.

Just the interns.

 

[ucunc156]

if you haven't figured out that they have always been a political team (and a pretty damn good one at that), then you haven't been paying attention.

Bill Clinton running the economy kind of reminds me of Bjorn Borg, one of the greatest tennis players of all time.

Retires early. Comes out of retirement. He still keeps his hair very long. Same kind of his old hairstyle. Same Kind of dress is the same as when he did before. And he was using a wooden racket.

Those three things, had changed over time in terms of fashion and Equipment. Yeah he stuck to what had worked in the past. And he lost. His comeback was a complete flop.

In that respect I can imagine Clinton working with Congress, and he has been really out of politics for a long time... he just dabbles now. But the players have all changed. And I seriously doubt that he's going to be able to work with the new Congress. The players have changed but he's going to go in with the mindset of the 1990s and think he's going to be able to do great.

Bill Clinton is Hillary's Bjorn Borg.

Neo-liberal Clinton did more damage than Bush. Pushed debunked NATFA, Made banks gambling houses to bail out, deregulation etc.

Basically the Democrats became republicans economically with Clinton for corporate money.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

I wonder what policy could recreate the tech boom.

Of course any would-be President would be looking to delegate. The problem here is that by naming Bill in teh way that she did, it now makes him fair game. He was always going to be part of the election, but there would have been a finer line. The sort of line typically reserved for the spouse of a candidate. Of course Trump doesn't seem to care about that so he might not have cared, but now he doesn't have to and as a voter I think Hillary provided him with space to drag up a bunch of old stuff
