He also asked if he could “vent” about the outrageousness of Trump (who, by the end of the week, was falsely blaming Clinton for his shameless history of birtherism).

That’s been less overt in the 2016 campaign than in some of the Clintons’ previous political endeavors, when they pitched themselves as “two for the price of one”. In Philadelphia, Obama was speaking primarily to young voters and minority voters, who would probably never vote for Trump but might not bother to turn out for Clinton, either.
The Clinton Global Initiative is a part of the Clinton Foundation, the entity that Bill Clinton established to focus his work after leaving the Oval Office. “The Democrats hope to distract from abuses in the Clinton Foundation, “pay to play” at the Clinton State Department, and other abuses of a massively larger scale”.
“I’ve had this job longer than I ever had any job, and I’ve loved it”, Clinton said. The way the Republican nominee is framing this, Clinton has criticized racists, misogynists, and other bigots, while Trump describes these racists, misogynists, and bigots as “the most admirable people” he knows.

Wednesday, a leak of Powell’s private emails revealed some animus between himself and the Clintons. HillaryClinton joined its board after leaving the U.S. State Department in 2013 but stepped down a year ago to seek the presidency. My hope is that before November rolls around, we get a better understanding of how healthy Mr. Trump is. But these whataboutisms, insistence that Trump abide by Clinton’s standards or vice versa, help no one.
