Hillary without Bill?

At the beginning of this campaign, I thought that a lot of people supported Hillary out of nostalgia for Bill. It's an easy enough to feel that way. I confess to having the same feelings sometimes.

So here's the question, would you change your mind about Hillary if she was not married to Bill and he had no part in her campaign and wouldn't have any part in her administration?

Without him, she's as bland as cottage cheese.

eoe- I dunno. When Bill was in office, I always perceived her as "the power behind the throne". Ten years ago, I predicted that she would eventually run for the presidency.

I think that she is shrewd..............maybe a little TOO shrewd.

I am going to abstain from voting but I don't think the prospect of having Bill in the office with her is attractive just because of nostalgia... nostalgia is Elvis memorabilia and time life cd collections.... life was better for most (not all) on his watch...

If she was not married to Bill, she would not even be in politics. Since she has minimal political experience, she mirrors her opponent. Both are in this race as a result of non political reasons.

I thought that's what nostalgia was -- the longing for a better time. I'm one who has argued that life was better under his watch and that Bush's tenure has made me long for those days again. Sorry if the word nostalgia was somehow demeaning of that, but that's what I meant.

I said nothing about her smarts or her shrewdness. She's as boring as watching paint dry and quite frankly, since you mentioned it, the way she assumed her nomination without considering the possibility that she wouldn't get it (staffers living high on the hog, running out of cash, etc.) was not very shrewd or very smart, IMO.

Well, I'm not asking to go back in time and remove him from her life. I'm asking if they got divorced and he had no part in anything she was doing now, does her candidacy look different to you? Can't change the past and all that.
