Anybody watching the HBO doc on Rolling Stone Magazine?

I am in part 2 about Bill Clinton and how Hunter S. Thompson did not like him at all.

How Bill reacted to a question from a RS reporter "What are you willing to die for as to legislation or this country" and Bill went apeshit on him angry , etc. (the question implied that he was not willing to stand for anything in a big way, I guess)

They pointed out he wasnt the super liberal they hoped he was as to labor, etc.

What I drew from this was yes he wasnt the lefty, per se, I would have wanted either were I to have my choice, but you know who was?

Obviously Bill was better than any 200 republicans combined and overall a very very good president.

she had to overcome his black "problem" also...to get those votes....Bill does have a silver tongue, tho.....my pal met him and said he makes you feel like the only one in the room....you can't learn that.
