| The Hilldebeest Might Have Just Made her Worst Mistake Ever |
| 2016-05-18 |
| [Powerline] At a campaign stop in Kentucky, Hillary Clinton told the crowd that if she were president, she would put her husband Bill "in charge of revitalizing the economy." The impulse is understandable. The economy of the 1990s was good, or seemed to be prior to the collapse of the dot com bubble. But Hillary’s promise to bring back Bill and put him "in charge of" the economy is, I think, a horrible blunder. Here’s why. First, it undermines the entire rationale of Hillary’s candidacy. Donald Trump responded appropriately: "Crooked Hillary said her husband is going to be in charge of the economy.If so, he should run,not her.Will he bring the "energizer" to D.C.?" |

| #8 The "energizer"? A lot of folks will think that's a new nickname for Willy, not for one of his gropees. Fixed. |

| #6 Whether that did her campaign any good remains to be seen. As of a few minutes ago she had less than 2,000 more votes than Senator Sanders, with 99% of the count completed. Were I he I'd challenge everything possible, and then demand a recount , especially in those precincts that had more votes than registered voters. On the other hand, that requires a strong local team, not what the Bern! campaign has done well thus far. |

| #3 The very notion of a Federal bureaucrat being put 'in charge of' the US economy should disqualify her from the big chair. |

| #2 If she puts Bill in charge of the economy she better arrange to get Newt in charge of the House of Representatives to stop Bill from doing anything and the Soviets to come crashing down again so we can re-purpose money previously spent on the military into the economy. It was the combo of the three that led to the good days during Bill's economy. |
