Polls show Hillary Clinton would be the most disliked presidential candidate in history if it weren’t for Republican nominee Donald Trump, who’s even less liked.

When a reporter learned that Bill Clinton might have been writing his convention speech up until the last minute, no one was surprised.
“I think it’s time this country does get some good leadership, but as far as both candidates go, I can’t really pull for either one”, said Roy Rodriguez.
“No matter what Bill Clinton says and no matter how well he says it, the phony media will exclaim it to be incredible”, he wrote in one.
The former president has turned into a frequent target for Trump, who has railed about the former president’s personal life from the campaign trail.
Yensen said she remembered her grandmother telling her about the importance of women in politics, and that women should be involved in the political process so their voice can be heard. “Hillary’s stance on children and some of the other positive things she said, that says a lot about who she is”. “And Hillary was an enabler and she treated these women horribly”. But Gwen Young, Director of the Global Women’s Leadership Initiative at Wilson Center, depicts Clinton’s nomination as a tremendous step forward for gender equality and a landmark moment in history.
Trump has also seized on Clinton-era policies, going after NAFTA, which Trump has vowed to renegotiate.
“The military and police embody our highest ideals”, she said.
Of course, you need not have watched the speech, you could’ve simply checked out America’s new virtual town square, Twitter, where people were more than happy to weigh in on the former president’s (and possible future first gentleman’s) performance.

So he took the stage Tuesday with the job of boosting her campaign – without performing so well that it might somehow diminish her in comparison.
She has pledged to give him a role in a potential second Clinton administration dealing with the economy, trying to capitalize on her husband’s economic record while he was in the White House. When he ran for the first time in 1992, Bill Clinton used to boast that voters would be getting two for the price of one – a declaration that became problematic for the Clintons.
From that opening, Clinton began alternating between the courtship story and the story of Hillary’s long life in public service.
