The other day I attended a rally for Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, with a few of my classmates. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton spoke. It was not at all what I expected.

I was under the assumption that he would talk about the current election, and about the Pennsylvania primary she had won the previous night. But the “policy wonk” side of the Former President really came out. I heard a lot about her policies and plans. He focused on the economy, education  and what she planned to do about those and other issues. That was a little hard to sit through, so late at night,(11:30) because I don’t agree with Mrs. Clinton’s plans, but it was informative.

On thing he said that really impressed me was that he said that he thought that she would be a better President than he was. She is his wife, but I thought that was very unselfish and supportive (of course it also might help her out).

So overall, it was interesting, It felt a little akward, sitting there not clapping for all her ideas, when everyone else was, but I learned a lot, and saw the former President. What more could you want on a wednsday night at midnight? Sleep.
