Bill Clinton: If I Wasn't Married to Hillary, 'I Could Say What I Think'

Former President Bill Clinton told a crowd of his wife's supporters he sometimes wishes they weren't married — because then he could say whatever he wants.

"Sometimes when I am on a stage like this, I wish that we weren't married," the former president said in New Hampshire on Monday night, according to the New York Daily News, referring to the tweet of a journalist on the scene.

"Then I could say what I think."

"Sometimes when I'm on a stage like this I wish we weren't married," says @billclinton intro'ing his wife."So i can say what I really think"

Before introducing the former secretary of state – who's the underdog in the nomination contest in the Granite State — the former commander-in-chief added: "I don't mean that in a negative way. I am happy."

Bill Clinton has kept a relatively low profile through the most of the campaign, but has been stumping hard in New Hampshire, criticizing the front-running Sen. Bernie Sanders for his "sexist" attacks on the campaign trail.
