should Bill shut up permanently?

I saw the video of Bill’s gaffe - really strange. It appears that there is little communication between them at this point; not surprising, given that Hillary, at least, is very busy and travelling all the time. Bill may be, as well.

My (amateur) take on it is that he sees the writing on the wall, knows that Hillary is not going to be president, and can’t face the prospect of, again, being out to pasture. Imagine what it must be like to “retire” from the presidency at a very young age, especially for someone like Bill, who is brilliant and needs to be in the limelight.

I have lost a great deal of respect for both of them as result of this campaign. I was never a big fan of Bill’s, although I voted for him twice.
