The full article, especially the pictures of Clinton at the dinner table, are hilarious.

I think Bill may be going a little senile.

TBH he's been extremely sensitive about his record back since circa-2002 when hacks on Fox News were blaming him for 9-11.  Recently there's been another flare-up of criticism being sent his way, this time on economic and race issues.

He's really amusing in this story, but almost as good is the sanctimonious jfern-esque Bernie supporter straight out of central casting who just graduated from the New School and plans on voting for Jill Stein.

FF. Keep fighting the good fight, Bill.

I don't get what's wrong here. The Bernie Bro was spouting far-left talking points and Clinton corrected him.
Being an idealist doesn't mean that everyone should accept your version of reality.

It seems like a waste of time to spend 30 minutes debating a random guy that is going to vote for an anti-vax GMO conspiracy theorist nutjob. Jill Stein is a mirror image of Jim Inhofe. I'm sure they could bond over their denial of scientific facts.

When I saw him the other day, it was a pretty normal event (unfortunately). It was still pretty neat though.

I think a small part of it is boredom.  For the most part, it's pride.  The man has seen half his legacy repudiated throughout this entire primary, much in part from his own wife.  The kind of party that he helped build is going in an entirely different direction than he probably would have wanted.  He has had to outright apologize for major decisions made during his presidency, and he has little he can personally boast about besides an economic boom which he had virtually no control over in the first place.

Old Bill probably deserves some sympathy here.

It's his way.

Hillary needs to lock bill up in a cage and not let him out until December.

What's this Brody guy's Reddit username?  He probably has infinite upvotes by now.

What was that big thing that happened in 07-08?  I can't remember what it was called... uh, something about unregulated banks and a financial meltdown that wiped out pension funds and tanked the global economy... damnit, what did they call it... you know, that thing that got so bad that they even one country - I think it was Rome, or Athens, or Sparta, something like that, I can't remember - that even had to default on its debt in the aftermath of the crisis, things were so bad in the global financial system.  Damn, man, my memory is just totally shot.

Bill is finally realizing he's actually a Republican

I swear that good ole horndog Bubba is doing everything in his power to not get back into the White House so he can continue his relationship with the so-called "Energizer Bunny."

He likes it when Hillary! is out of town.

In my experience, it's pretty much impossible to talk about politics for 30 minutes straight with someone without changing your perspective on at least a couple of points. Maybe this guy will come around in the end, even if it takes a while.

And maybe Bill Clinton will wake up tomorrow as a Bernie Bro.
