THIS IS TOO MUCH – AT 9:24 A.M. ET:  I wish to issue a trigger warning:  Please have seasickness pills available before reading this story. 

It appears that Mr. Clinton is now embracing the candidacy of Mrs. Clinton, and expressing his deep affection for her.  His testimony, which is very removing, reminds us of other testimony he has given:  "I did not have sex with that woman..."  From The Hill:

Former President Bill Clinton credits a large part of his political success to his marriage with Hillary Clinton.

“I trust her with my life, and have on more than one occasion,” he told host Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” in excerpts of their interview released on Friday.

“Whenever I had trouble, she was a rock in our family,” he added during the pair’s talk in Denver.

"Oh Bill, I understand your lust for interns.  I truly do."

Clinton said that his wife, the 2016 Democratic presidential front-runner, helped him navigate formative years in politics “plagued by self-doubt.”

He said that he was consumed by insecurity upon losing the Arkansas governor’s office in 1980.
“I was the youngest former governor in American history in 1980 on election night,” he said of his loss to former Gov. Frank White (R).

“I got killed in the Reagan landslide,” he added. “People I had appointed to office would walk across the street, they were so afraid of the new regime in Arkansas, and would not shake hands with me. My career prospects were not particularly bright.”

“And she never blinked,” Bill Clinton added of Hillary Clinton. “She just said, ‘Hey, it’ll turn around. I believe in you. You’ve got this.’”

Can you imagine her saying that?

The former first couple has been married for 40 years with one daughter, Chelsea.

“We built a life together based on the things that we cared about, the things that we loved,” Bill Clinton said. “We were blessed with a daughter who turned out very well, I would say. We have been very blessed.”

I can't take much more of this.

The Clintons faced scrutiny over their relationship during Bill Clinton’s second term upon revelations that he had an affair with Monica Lewinksy, then a 22-year-old White House intern.

Hillary Clinton has described the scandal and its related fallout as one of her biggest challenges thus far.

COMMENT:   Yes, I'm sure the Lewinsky scandal enhances Hillary's qualifications to be president.  Because her tenure in public office certainly doesn't.

My pills, my pills!
