Hillary Clinton Quietly Asks Bill If He Still Finds Her Electable
CHAPPAQUA, NY—Saying that the thought had been on her mind for a while and that she felt she needed to bring it out in the open, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reportedly asked her husband Bill if he still finds her electable Tuesday evening.
According to sources, the 66-year-old stateswoman broached the subject while the two were both reading in bed, reportedly looking up from her page before revealing to her husband that she fears he no longer finds her to be a desirable candidate.
“Bill, I want you to be honest with me: Do my political prospects still look good to you?” asked Hillary, assuring her husband that she could handle his candid answer, but that she would like to know one way or the other. “When you look at me, do you still see someone who can fire up the liberal base? And don’t just say yes because you know that’s what I want to hear.”
“I just want to know if you still consider me appealing,” she continued, “particularly to blacks, Hispanics, and women between 30 and 44.”
Despite the two-term president’s assurances that her approval numbers have never looked better and that her best primary days are ahead of her, the former senator from New York admitted to worrying that her husband was growing uninterested in her candidacy, reportedly claiming that he does not seem to stump for her like he used to.
Clinton added that she did not know if the thought of seeing her platform even excites him anymore.
“I understand that I’m not the same candidate I was 13 or even five years ago—it’s natural for a political figure to change over time,” said Clinton, admitting that, as she has grown older, her positions have shifted in ways she didn’t always see coming. “But I haven’t stopped caring about my political viability. I’m still a woman with national ambitions.”
“Remember New Hampshire back in 2008?” she continued, reflecting on a period when she said her husband used to repeatedly tell her she was the Democratic favorite. “I remember the passion in your voice, and how you used to call out my name at rallies and town hall meetings—it seemed like you were always in campaign mode for me. But now I sometimes wonder if this is even the same political partnership.”
