How The Clintons’ Candidates Did (Not Well)

Bill and Hillary Clinton were the most sought-after surrogates on the campaign trail this cycle – criss-crossing the country to stump for Democrats in places where President Barack Obama couldn’t.

They flew into red states to stump for vulnerable Democrats, aided candidates from their home states and campaigned for family friends, former aides and other longtime confidants. Their itineraries included several stops in the politically significant states of Iowa and New Hampshire for Democrats in competitive Senate and House races.

But not even the Clinton’s political star power could spare Democrats from Tuesday’s bloodbath. Just 17 candidates backed by either Clinton won, compared to 31 who lost. One race will go into a December runoff, and 9 races had yet to be called as of early Wednesday.

Running, working, volunteering for public office speaks to the best and the worst in people; we seem to have strong opinions and strong differences. But, when elected officials turn out to be "good guys" it is a wonderful benefit for all those who "believe in the system"
Thank you Joe and hundreds of others, candidates included. You all are the reason democracy works. Freeedom is not free...it takes work. Thank you.

The Clintons are liars and everyone knows it.
