Ifill: Bill ‘Can’t Help Himself ... Always Takes it One Step Farther than Is Helpful’

RADDATZ: "Let me start with you Gwen and let's talk about Hillary Clinton staking out her position on immigration this week to the left, saying she would go further with executive action than President Obama has."
IFILL: "If you look at what the Clintons have been doing, they have been under fire, she has been under fire, of course, not only because of the e-mails and because of Benghazi, but, also because of the handling of the Clinton Foundation and what they thought they were going to do this week was have Hillary and Bill Clinton in Africa, showing the good work of the Clinton Global Initiative, which there is much good work, and have Hillary in Washington or in Nevada, in this case, talking about substance. So she talked last week about mass incarceration. She talked this week about immigration. And she talked a lot about gay marriage and gay rights. She’s going to focus on the substance. They are going to focus on saying this is very unfair, what’s happened to us, we do good work. It didn’t exactly work the way it was designed, partly because Bill Clinton can’t help himself and he always takes it one step farther than is helpful, necessarily, to his wife’s campaign. But on the other hand, she — her substance part was out there for all to see. And you’ve got to give something — when we talk about horse race all this time at this stage of the campaign, to see candidates giving policy speeches, which you can decide you agree or disagree with."
