You know the saying: once is a fluke, twice is a trend. Yesterday, Stephen Colbert and First Lady Michelle Obama shared a laugh over Bill Clinton's "passion." On today's With All Due Respect, responding to Mark Halperin's report that Bill Clinton "keeps saying he doesn't know what Snapchat is," John Heilemann quipped "let's hope not, for his sake."
For those who might not be familiar, Snapchat is an app that lets users send photos or videos that self-destruct within seconds—ideal for "sexting." All snickering aside, will Bill's wandering ways become an issue for Hillary?
JOHN HEILEMANN: We have been wondering when we would get to see Bill Clinton take a bigger role in this campaign. Seeing him out there gives you a sign of just how concerned they are. Because the truth is if she was very strong, he would not necessarily be giving that interview if she was so strong. The other thing is for her to play that card as a woman, which is very powerful for her, historic, important in terms of just the demographics of what will get her nominated, she's got to find a fresh way to do it. Doing it with Lena Dunham is a fresh way to do it. And I don't care if other people mock it or not. That's going to be seen by a lot of people and give her fresh context to make that argument.
MARK HALPERIN: The Big Dog is rusty by his own admission. He said the same thing in 2008, and then he made some mistakes. He keeps saying it now: he doesn't know what Snapchat is--I don't think, President Clinton.
HEILEMANN: Let's hope not, for his sake!
HALPERIN: They better figure out a way to get that guy additional--even Bill Clinton needs to audition off-Broadway, because he's going to make a mistake, and that could kill 'em.
