Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton are privately supporting Biden and have been encouraging donors to continue giving and stick with the president, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
One source described the Clintons’ support as "encouraging," "supportive" and "deferential" to Biden’s decision to stay in this race.
Trying to fuck the country again
Hillary Clinton supporting a fellow Clintonite but NOT telling the press about it at every opportunity?
That's like a Premier League club releasing a statement to the press saying that they're not going to fire the current manager..
The waffling needs to stop. They need to commit to a direction and stick with it.
Well, they aren't now, I guess.
Does anyone even give a fuck what the Clinton's think?
No, nobody gives a shit.
If there is one thing Bill Clinton is good at is listening and then getting people to do what he wants them to do.
Never underestimate how wiley top politicians are, they play a very careful and measured game. Bill Clinton of all the people who was in politics played the game instinctively, he is a born politician.
Saw this morning a good take from historian Allan Lichtman.
Trying to fuck the country again
Like AOC and Bernie Sanders? Who also said that they want Biden to stay?
Man, AOC and Sanders are trying to maintain party unity by making public statements, whatever their private thoughts, and I deeply respect them for that. Not nearly as fond of a relict from the 90s and a politician with notoriously bad judgement wrt the electorate putting in pressure behind the scenes.
It's, of course, a little more complicated than that. There's a lot of factors to consider. May as well listen to AOC explain it all herself, in her own words. (which takes about an hour, fair warning)
They’re just misguided, not malignant.
