Former President Bill Clinton reportedly criticized wife Hillary’s failed presidential campaign against Donald Trump in the fall of 2016 as not being able to “sell p*ssy to a troop train” according to a Fox News report on a new book by Intercept reporter Ryan Grim.
The decades long Clinton marriage has been rocked by Bill’s numerous affairs and allegations of rape and sexual assault. Hillary was accused by several of Bill’s alleged victims of intimidating them and covering up for Bill.
Bill Clinton was impeached by the House in late 1998 for perjury and obstruction of justice in a sexual assault lawsuit by Paula Jones that uncovered an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Clinton was acquitted by the Senate in early 1999 after a pro forma trial.

A passage in “The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution” by The Intercept’s Ryan Grim, which was released last week, says the former president allegedly tore into his wife’s campaign for being ineffective communicators and, more specifically, said they could not sell “p—- on a troop train.”
The statement from Bill Clinton, which he allegedly made to a close confidante during the fall of 2016, coincidentally came to light as Democrats reportedly tapped Hillary to help with Biden’s re-election efforts.
Grim appears to be the first to report the remarks in a portion of his book examining the communication efforts of her campaign and then-Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
“Former president Bill Clinton, surveying the landscape and the ham-handed efforts at identity politics, was bereft, lamenting to a longtime friend in the fall of 2016 that Hillary’s campaign ‘could not sell p—- on a troop train,’” Grim wrote in the book.
Bill Clinton reportedly also criticized Hillary for not campaigning enough in the Midwest, losing key swing states to Trump that cost her the presidency.
NBC News reported this week that the Biden campaign has enlisted Hillary as a ‘key player’ in his 2024 campaign (excerpt):
On the final Monday in November, in a Washington home stately enough to have a name — Whitehaven — members of the Women’s Leadership Forum raised just shy of $1 million for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. Their host: Hillary Clinton.
Two weeks earlier, Clinton published an op-ed in The Atlantic that forcefully made the case for Biden’s approach to the Israel-Hamas war, putting her credibility on the line as progressives demanded a cease-fire. And two weeks before that, at a Columbia University panel on the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Clinton shut down a heckler who asked her to comment on Biden’s “warmongering.”
In those moments, in an interview on “The View” and in social media posts, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee is stepping into a role as one of the most prominent and influential surrogates in Biden’s re-election effort. As a former secretary of state, she has the bona fides to provide Biden with a measure of political cover amid a war in the Middle East that has split the Democratic Party.
Clinton is popular with women and key parts of the Democratic base and remains a fundraising draw who can help ensure Biden has the money to get his message out. There is still a two-for-the-price-of-one theme when it comes to her family: Husband Bill Clinton made a cameo at the fundraising event at their Washington home.
