Guy’s you need to enjoy this more. As I wrote in my LAT column a while back: “The most enjoyable aspect of watching the HMS Hillary take on water is the prospect that Bill — and his cult of personality — will go down with the ship, too.” He made this election about him and people are saying no thanks. This is why they came up with the word schadenfreude. For all the “I Miss Bill” bumper stickers, spade work by Hillary Matters for America and generalized Blumenthalian Clinton nostalgia, it must be said with a joyous heart that the activist base of the Democratic Party, young people and “open-minded” independents have been presented with a referendum on Bill Clinton and they’re voting no. These are not rightwingers saying “thanks, but no thanks” but Clinton’s own base. Come on people, that’s good stuff!

Let Bill Clinton go into a purple rage rebutting the suggestion, like he did with Chris Wallace. You know for a certainty that if Hillary won, Bill would make it clear that this was a referendum on his presidency. That’s how he’s campaigned for her. If he set himself up for the credit, he deserves the blame too. Let others parse out how much he deserves. All I know is he deserves a lot.
