In 2032, at age 86, Bill Clinton boards his plane to his
daughter Chelsea’s third campaign event of the day. As he takes his seat on the
plane, his mind drifts to 16 years earlier. On election night in 2016, Bill
received a call from his good friend, and fellow member of the elite Presidents
Club, George Bush. Bill remembers George calling and providing a few moments of
laughter in an otherwise dreadful night. George had made jokes about
dropping-out of the Presidents Club and how the experts had all been incorrect. In the midst of yet
another hard-fought campaign, this brief flashback allowed Bill to drift back to
a time of laughter with his dear friend. The humor provided by George during
that tragic time had been Bill’s only escape from the harsh reality he and his
wife had faced. As the plane lifted off the ground, Bill could only hope Chelsea’s
election would have a different outcome.
