The once-loved Bill Clinton can’t seem to catch a break.
Since being forced out of office over his infamous office scandal, the bad news just keeps on coming.
And the last group he ever expected just turned on him.
A Fall From Grace
After being elected president, Bill Clinton was on top of the world.
He was a Democrat hero who boosted strong approval numbers.
Along with that, his wife, Hillary was working the public with the goal of later catapulting her own high-level political career.
But all of that came crashing down when the former president got caught having an affair with his intern.
That affair was made even worse when he lied about it, claiming that it didn’t occur.
It was that situation that led towards impeachment proceedings, which eventually led towards his impeachment from office.
There isn’t anything much worse than being impeached as president.
It forever stained his reputation, but despite that, many in his party stood with him.
Abandoned By His Own Party
But some of those who once stood with him are beginning to get cold feet.
The New Hampshire Democrats, who have hosted a dinner with Clinton’s namesake for many years have changed the name of the dinner.
Formally known as the Kennedy-Clinton Dinner, the New Hampshire Democrats have changed the name to the Eleanor Roosevelt Dinner.
The change came after they came under fire for keeping the dinner named after the former president, even after his infamous, career-ending affair, and other accusations of sexual harassment.
Attacks on Bill Clinton relating around his alleged sexual harassment were exacerbated during the presidential campaign of Donald Trump.
He put Bill Clinton’s accusers front and center, largely because of their claims that his wife, and challenger to Trump, Hillary Clinton, had been accused of mistreating, and even threatening the accusers.
New Hampshire’s Significance
The fact that Bill Clinton ran into trouble with New Hampshire Democrats is especially significant.
New Hampshire has treated both Bill and Hillary Clinton very well in their political endeavors.
In 1992, it was New Hampshire that helped propel Bill Clinton into the presidency after giving him strong support in their highly significant primary election.
While the state did not support Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Democrat primary, instead favoring Bernie Sanders, they did give her a win in the general election.
As it turns out, New Hampshire, which Hillary Clinton fought hard to win, wasn’t enough for her to defeat Donald Trump.
But it did reiterate the state’s support for the Clinton family.
It seems that those days are now over.
Unless Hillary Clinton decides to attempt to run for president one more time, the days of the Clinton’s in politics are almost certainly over.
While Hillary Clinton used to be the most popular politician in the United States, she has taken a major fall from grace.
Much of that began with her husband’s affair and subsequent impeachment.
Now many on the left are beginning to turn on both of them.
