Hillary Clinton, who held three town halls in New Hampshire on Sunday, has put the brakes on her usual Trump attacks since the NY real estate mogul began highlighting Bill Clinton’s sexual liaisons in the White House.
While Hillary Clinton rebuked Trump’s attacks, Bill Clinton made no mention of them during his Monday morning’s speech.
In the same television interview, Mr Trump called in an advert for a temporary ban of Muslims from the U.S. due to recent Islamic extremist activity, and has also demanded that the Mexicans pay for a wall to block Muslims from the country. “[Hillary] comes to me one day, and she said ‘I found it, I found the human streak in Tom Delay”. Over in New Hampshire, however, campaigning continued as she unveiled her secret weapon: her husband. And since it was announced that he was going to be campaigning for his wife, Donald Trump has been tweeting like insane about Clinton’s past indiscretions.
Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin agreed with Brzezinski and Scarborough, and said that Clinton, unlike her husband, has never had an easy time explaining why she is running.
Hillary Clinton leads the Democratic presidential field by about 13 points, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of samplings.
New Hampshire voters will cast their ballots for the primary nominating contest on February 9.
And also changed was his tone; the Bill Clinton of 2008, who also campaigned on behalf of his wife, was prone to frustrated attacks on her opponents, namely then-Sen.
“I won’t go through all the details of her plan, but I have reviewed it”, said Clinton, a policy wonk whose propensity for micromanagement was sometimes seen as a drawback during her previous presidential bid. Mr. Trump has blamed both Democrats and former President George W. Bush for the unrest in West Asia, particularly citing Mr. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003.
Hillary Clinton was not in attendance at the New Hampshire event. The more often he appears, the more opportunities present themselves for Trump to remind voters that Bill Clinton is an accused serial sexual harasser who turned the Oval Office into his private pleasure palace.
Bill Clinton has always been a campaigner. She LOST! Now Bill is at it again.
So will Clinton’s presence on the trail help or hurt?
Calling himself a “happy grandfather”, a relaxed Clinton said he thought Hillary was “the most unbelievable person” when they met and fell in love, 45 years ago at Yale Law School.
Clinton shied away from addressing the controversy directly during his stump, instead admonishing “communities of collective resentment” across party aisles, and in a thinly veiled criticism of Trump, bashed Republicans for attempting to make a caricature of wife’s career.
