Steve Sailer writes: An anonymous commenter speculates on why Bill Clinton refuses to give up his membership in Trump National Golf Club-Westchester, Trump’s personal golf club, even though many institutions (NBC, the golf tours, Macy’s, etc.) that aren’t actually married to the presumptive Democratic nominee are boycotting the presumptive Republican nominee:
Three possibilities: Bill really thinks Hillary is going to win, so he intends to keep his membership and say, “Hey, no hard feelings,” after the election and simply wait until Trump gets over his sulk about losing, and then they pat each other on the back and Bill can continue golfing and schmoozing.
Second idea is that Bill isn’t very concerned if Hillary loses because he isn’t keen on being Mr. Hillary Clinton. He’s got an ego, and he’s in two minds about playing second fiddle his wife. He doesn’t want to say to her, “Mrs. President,” and see her in the most important place in every social function they’re required to attend. This would probably feel great to Hillary after Bill humiliated her with all his affairs, and she intends to rub her new, higher status in his face if she wins, and he knows it. It’s part of the psychological warfare inside their marriage, and for all I know, it may be one of her primary motivators for running for the office. Some women say, living well is the best revenge once they’ve dumped the cheating spouse, but in Hillary’s case, I think the best revenge on her hubby is becoming president herself and staying married to him so she can rub his face in it. You know, the “I’m somebody!” notion. Or, “they like me better than you,” referring to the American public.
Third possibility is that if the Clintons lose, Bill still wants political influence, and he intends to patch things up with Trump and intends to be an ‘adviser’ and big influence. After all, what way to arrange for big donors to give to the Clinton foundation by saying to them, “You know, I may be able to do something for you via my good friend, President Trump.”
Hardened politicos like Bill never cut loose anyone who can be useful to them.
