Bill Clinton bashes Trump, blames 'angry white men' and Comey for wife's loss | Fox News

Former President Bill Clinton mocked President-elect Donald Trump’s intelligence, said “angry, white men” helped secure his victory and blamed FBI Director James Comey for Hillary Clinton’s November defeat during a spontaneous Q-and-A at a New York bookstore earlier this month.
An unidentified editor at the Bedford-Pound Ridge Record Review happened to be present at the impromptu session and revealed the details in an editorial in the paper’s print edition. The editorial did not appear online but the contents were reported by Politico.

Speaking of angry, white men, how are you Bill? Mad bro'?
 
If I were him....I'd dump that biotech and enjoy the rest of my life.

Did you see anything in the article that shows he's correct?

I remember the entire election cycle, and Trump pandered exclusively to the angry white crowd. Also, the Comey letter was splashed across the front of every news site for a week and Clinton lost three points in that time, which is extraordinary change in polling in such a short time. Clinton is absolutely correct.
 
Bill is essentially right about the angry white men part, but it is hard to put a value on the Comey thing. I'm sure it had some effect, but I don't know if it was that dramatic.
 
What ever happened to putting old before angry white men? I guess the angry white men are young now too? lol.

Yeah, but Trump also was on an upswing from post crotch-grabbing, too.

There's a lot of little and not so little things that added together to cause her loss, but the main one was she was a ****ty-assed candidate with an annoying sense of entitlement. And she ran a lousy unresponsive campaign.
 
Who cares what that impeached sexual predator or his lying Marxist harridan of a wife thinks? They are yesterday's papers.

That's not entirely how it happened. Polling was evening out toward a baseline, with Clinton coasting out to a win. The Comey letter will forever change the "October Surprise" to "The November Surprise." Its impact was nothing short of devastating. It was the last major narrative to dominate the news right before the election, and there was absolutely zero time for Comey's "Oops nothing there after all" announcement to do anything to correct it. Anybody trying to minimize the relevance of the Comey letter either has amnesia or they're gaslighting.

Not entirely accurate. Angry white women helped secure his victory too.

Bill left out her high "trustworthiness" negatives, strong anti-2A stance, calling folks deplorable, liking PPACA, bragging about making coal miners unemployed, pep talks to Wall Street (for cash), raising the MW to half of the median wage, favoring more perks for illegal aliens, plans to invite ever more ME refugees and her goofy plan to make college "debt free" (to some students). Running as "not Trump" (or Obama 3.0) and taking "blue states" for granted simply did not git-r-done.

Interestingly, absolutely none of the negatives of Clinton are relevant in light of how Trump is setting up his cabinet.

Maybe Bill should have told Hillary to stop trying to get around FOIA when she was doing it. :shrug:

Lol, the pollsters didn't have a clue.

According to the MSM she led in the "important" polls, she had way more campaign money and staff, she had the "perfect" (Obama like?) ground game and Trump had virtually no "path to 270" so she was doing all that was required to win. She thought (and was constantly reassured) that there was no way for her to lose - so why bother to change her campaign "style"?

Except that the Trump cabinet choices were made after he won the election. Other than that, your logic is solid. ;)
