10 Things That Never Happened Before

摘要

Hillary and Bill Clinton have ruled the chessboard of Democratic politics for so long that almost no move they make comes as a surprise. But the image of a former First Couple swapping roles-with a past President trying to be a supportive spouse and a First Lady emerging as a presidential front runner looking for restitution and restoration-proved a media bonanza, a clashing intraparty cause for concern and elation, and a curiosity for the public. Senator Clinton played the POTUS card shrewdly. She regularly recalled the "good old days" of the 1990s when her husband's Administration brought peace and prosperity and alternately referred to him cozily as "Bill" or pointedly as "the President." Bill Clinton, meanwhile, made an early effort to avoid overshadowing her with his famously omnivorous personality but eventually stepped up to play a major strategic role in her campaign.
