Bill Clinton — Dying On The Campaign Trail!

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is under new strain as the former First Lady sees her husband turning into a liability. Shocked political insiders are talking about a different Bill Clinton on the campaign trail this year — with cranky Clinton even telling a former Marine to "shut up and listen!" "Sometimes he seems dazed," said a veteran journalist following the campaign. "Sometimes he just seems tired, and sometimes you get the feeling he wants Hillary to lose the nomination so this whole thing can be over!"

Bill's former close advisor Dick Morris agrees, with the television personality saying: “I didn’t recognize the character that was on TV. He was washed-out, he was listless, he was apathetic — he was very slow-talking, and even slower thinking!”

D.C. insiders have told The National ENQUIRER that the bizarre appearances are part of a tragic brain disease that's even sparked fears that Hillary's husband won’t live to see the November elections! “Bill is clearly not the same person he was a year ago, or even six months ago,” a political spy agreed. "He is much slower physically, and he suffers periodic mental lapses.”

Many of the former President's fans became concerned as he seemed dazed while standing behind wife Hillary (as pictured) as she declared victory in the first Democratic primary in Iowa. Calling Clinton’s condition “clearly deteriorated,” one source claimed that the ex-Prez “has trouble maintaining his balance. It’s just devastating to see him like this!”

An ENQUIRER reporter revealed in September 2009 that Clinton was fighting Parkinson’s disease, a brain illness highlighted by worsening tremors of the arms, legs, jaws and face. Bill has denied he suffers from Parkinson’s, and blames the tremors on old age. But insiders also said that current events are taking a toll on the struggling campaigner — with Bill (seen here in Las Vegas on Feb. 19) now terrified that an outspoken opponent like Donald Trump will shred his credibility over multiple sex scandals!

Television host and pundit Joe Scarborough said to NBC's Chuck Todd, “I will tell you who is horrified right now. Bill Clinton is horrified at the prospect of every time Hillary Clinton bringing up women’s issues, Donald Trump puts out an Instagram ad — and by the end of the campaign, Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton are synonymous!"

Another recent article in the "Chicago Tribune" described how Bill had become flustered while trying to make a point against presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. The reporter wrote about the former Prez first "becoming annoyed" while talking to the audience, and then abruptly and hastily "changing course" while making his speech.

Insiders agree that these combined pressures — plus Bill's failing health — might explain the lack of enthusiasm that he's shown on the campaign trail. "Bill's clearly tired," said a party member, "and he didn't anticipate that he'd have to worry about Bernie Sanders as a Democratic opponent, let alone a fearless Republican candidate who's ready to remind the public that Hillary's husband has been accused of all kinds of sexual assault!"

"He gets lost onstage now," added the journalist, "and that's become a real embarrassment. He's only 69 years old, and he acts older than Bernie, who's 74! And since Bill and Hillary have both always refused to release their medical records, there's a lot of speculation going on about what he's hiding!"
