Bill Clinton lucked out? No, we did.

In my view, Bill Clinton, who used to be adored by Democrats near and far, no matter what he did, laid a big egg on Hillary's campaign, and his racist remarks, coupled with his out of control and unlikeable anger changed many people's opinions of him.
I have wondered since the race ended if Bill really wanted Hillary to lose, because his ego could not stand that she had a higher position than he did, and many of his gaffes, although they may not have been on the surface intentional, they subliminally were meant to torpedo her campaign.
Not that Hillary didn't do plenty of torpedoing of her own campaign and she is the sole reason she lost, but Bill reminded me again and again that another four or eight years of Clinton mischief, after eight years of Bush horror, was just too much for me or this country to bear
