      I don’t think he was even considering running at that point. Hillary and Bill didn’t suggest that he run on the Republican ticket until 2015-2016. I still think his plan was to lose and get richer on books and interviews complaining about losing. His reaction, and the reaction of his family, on election night 2016 wasn’t one of happiness and relief.

        Even if he wasn’t planning on it, the thought process always seems to be there. “They’re going to round us up into camps (because that’s what I would do in that position)” “They’re going to start a war to stay in power (because that’s what I would do in that position)”. Regardless of actual position or power, the vile thoughts of these people always seem to leak out in the form of an accusation.

        He just seemed so bothered by all the responsibilities at the start too, like I remember him genuinely complaining several times about all the meetings and stuff he had to do.
