Who cares, the guy was (or is) a rapist and I suspect he's messed around with underage. If figures you would support him

 

[The Rabbi]

Harry Truman had one of the lowest ratings ever.
So what?
Hillary is going to lose because Obozo's policies have fucked this country for 8 years. And she offers more of the same.

 

[the_human_being]

What's her approval rating?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Everyone loved Bill Clinton so much that a democrat couldn't get elected in congress while he was president and Al Gore lost to W following his presidency.

Al Gore was between a rock and a hard place - and he chose to not have Bill campaign for him - which was a mistake. Al's other major mistake was picking Lieberman as his VP running mate.

I may strongly disagree with hillary's social beliefs but I think she'll make a better president then anything the tea party is pushing. That is for sure.

He had to pick Lieberman because he needed some moral authority, after Bill destroyed it.

You mean Gore lost the popular vote in Florida. Because there wasnt a recount that showed him winning. Jeb recused himself btw.

[FA_Q2]

Yup. Bill had an amazing public opinion. He was an amazing politician. Did you have any point at all? You do know that Bill is not running for anything.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

Does anyone realize that we have not had a truly popular president in almost twenty years?
