Former President Bill Clinton had one job when he took to the stage Tuesday night at the Democrat national convention. Make his wife, Hillary, look more like a president and less like a Disney evil queen.
He spoke about how they met, their marriage, her career in politics, parenthood, grandparenthood and everything else imaginable in a long-winded speech at the Democrat national convention Tuesday.
And viewers knew they were in trouble from the opening line.
when they start with a date from the 1970s we’re going to be here for awhile.

Political Twitter is all like: Bill, can we skip the 1980s and get to the present time already?

But it seemed like he missed some stuff.
“1998 was that whole impeachment thing, but let’s skip that whole thing.”

Bill Clinton just went from 1997 to 2000. Moving right along…

Besides the sheer length, other portions of the speech drew sarcasm from social media.
Bill Clinton starts his speech: “In the spring of 1971, I met a girl” https://t.co/7abcFsaJeW #DemsInPhilly https://t.co/s8lWfe4Fab

He said there are two versions of his wife. His and the Republicans who were trying to paint her as “a cartoon.”
“One is real and one is made up,” he told the crowd.
Social media users were quick to chime in on that one too.
@danmericaCNN Wikileaks made that one clear already

@secupp “you could drop her off anywhere and she would make it a better place” – how about we drop her in Benghazi?

And Donald Trump made a prediction.
No matter what Bill Clinton says and no matter how well he says it, the phony media will exclaim it to be incredible. Highly overrated!
