It Seems That's Where Bill Clinton Came In Last Night Because He Told This Long Story About How They Met [with Hillary Clinton], How He Courted Her, How He Bought A House To Convince Her, I Think After The Third Proposal, To Actually Marry Him. And He Talked About Her Activism And Her Commitment And Everything. And It Was As If He Could Tell The Narrative In A Way That She Couldn't.
