Bill Clinton had a hell of a first 24 months, even though he, like Trump, enjoyed a congressional majority.

I do think Hillary Clinton, I mean the Clintons, I`ve got a lot of critiques of the Clinton foundation. I do think they bend the law.

And that`s something - not something I trust Donald Trump to do.
Karl Rove thinks we shouldn’t have Hillary Clinton in the White House because she fell and hit her head a couple years ago, spent three days in the hospital, and maybe she has brain damage.

We are constantly bemoaning that we have two nominees, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, who are when you put them together as unpopular a duo as we have ever had in our kind of Final Two for the presidency. There are reasons for that, regardless of who ends up winning and going into the White House, I think we need to take dig, those of us in the media, because we're the ones who can foster these discussion and ask the question what is it about the system that got us to a point where most of the people heading to the polls are holding their nose as they cast their vote?
It is clear that many of [Republicans] do not want to try to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House. So if it's not important to keep her out of the White House, why is it important to elect you?

Yeah, right. Double standards.
