Former President Bill Clinton observed the devastation of his wife Hillary’s 2016 campaign in real time, claiming to a confidant that the “egghead” staff members who were advising her “could not sell p**** on a troop train.”
The statement was initially made public by Ryan Grim of The Intercept in his new book “The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution,” which explores the rise of progressives like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and the Democratic party’s downfall in 2016. In the eyes of her husband, Hillary Clinton’s decision to forego campaigning in Midwest states where she was certain of defeating Donald Trump that year was entirely due to staff members who failed to see the need of face-to-face outreach.

“Former president Bill Clinton, surveying the landscape and the ham-handed efforts at identity politics, was bereft, lamenting to a longtime friend in the fall of 2016 that Hillary’s campaign ‘could not sell p—- on a troop train,’” Fox News acquired a part of Grim’s writing from the book.
As ABC News previously reported, President Clinton begged the staff to concentrate on Midwestern states like Michigan, but the calls “fell on deaf ears.” Less than 0.5 percentage points, or around 11,000 votes out of the more than 4.5 million voted that year, separated Trump’s victory in the swing state.
The journalistic objections documented in Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen’s 2017 book “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign” are reflected in President Clinton’s new, clear summary. At the time, the book garnered strong opposition from Hillary team members.
“He thought, these eggheads don’t really know politics. They don’t understand persuasion,” Even though her team did not anticipate her winning certain regions of the swing states, Allen told an ABC News podcaster at the time that it was crucial that his wife run in suburban or rural areas.
“He knew there was some power just in showing up,” Allen said.
In spite of her crushing defeat, Hillary Clinton has decided to back Joe Biden in his reelection campaign. She recently had a very successful fundraiser at her home in Georgetown, which brought in close to $1 million for the cause. Clinton has a devoted following among women and other important Democratic voters, and her backing is seen as critical for Biden, whose popularity is dwindling.

Current polls show that President Biden is 10 points behind Trump and might replicate Hillary’s 2016 defeat in Michigan. In six other swing states, where Trump is favorably favored by independent and Black voters, he also confronts hurdles.
To President Bill Clinton, sir I would like for you to know that you taught the people of your party just how to get away with almost anything they want to. Yes you showed them to never admit the truth. The First one of course was Obama, we still don’t really know if he was even born in our country . There have been many people who claim that he was not born here. He took every opportunity he could to split our country apart. He also was the first one who started to change us from the land of the free and the home of the Brave. He was the first in the line trying to destroy the United States,
No other President ever got anywhere near to spending what he did. As a matter of fact
Obama spent as much as all of the presidents combined together before him did. We would not be anywhere near the trouble we are in now had he have not tried to break our country. This is also where the Democrats started cheating on our elections. Counting dead people from every state, and getting illegals to vote as well. His second term is where this started . Now
After starting this. The Democrats decided they could get away with this and it’s how they would win the elections . They only thing that went wrong was when your wife tried to use the same tactic but. With what she had done while sec of state and got caught using a server in your own house the people didnt trust her. Even after saying that Trump was working with the Russians
People didnt believe what she told them.
She tried to be a good liar like you taught her to be but it just didnt work. Of course she was to have carried on what Obama had started. This is the real reason Hillary cant stand Trump. . He did something no one was supposed to be able to do. Yes she lied cheated and everything she could to keep him out of office. Then Biden came along now no one else could have done what he did. He had damn near every head of our government departments lying and cheating as well as his son taking bribes for him from even our enemies. Now he had to step up what he had to do. Since your wife didn’t get her term. We know damn well he did not win the election. The heads of the departments lied for his son and himself. They had people go out and find every person who was not registered to vote and they voted anyway. They got paid by people from the democratic party. To do so. These people only knew they were being paid. To do this we know it went on in at least 20 states. There are people telling the truth now of how they got these votes. We also know that many of our states had more people vote than their population was. Biden has done everything he could to destroy our country. And still is. I don’t know why he thinks anyone believes what he says. Anyway the 8 million illegals are here for only one reason to vote for his party. They are now ready to try and make our country a democratic dictatorship. This is what they want and what Biden intends to do. If we don’t take them out of office Biden with his FedNow intends to take over our country. There may not even be a 2024 election if he gets his way
