DBWI: Bill Clinton goes into politics instead of Roger

Last month, saxophonist Bill Clinton won his tenth career Grammy (Best Jazz Album). It has been over 40 years since he embarked on his legendary music career.

His younger brother Roger Clinton was elected to Congress in 1986 and is now Vice President of the US. He is the frontrunner for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2016.

Suppose, Bill went into politics instead of Roger. Would he have been as successful as Roger?
 
He's always comes across in interviews as smart and knowledgeable, so I suppose it depends on whether he can keep his pants buttoned or not!
 
His wife, Gennifer, doesn't seem too concerned about it.

I heard that he and Hillary Rodham briefly dated while he was still finishing off some school. Perhaps see could steer him in the political direction if they ended up together. I doubt he'd be faithful, though... that would be a serious blow to his public image.

Funny thing is, I remember Harry Turtledove writing a pretty neat little short story on this possibility back in the days. Although whether or not he'd have topped President Dukakis(1988-92) or President Biden(1992-00), is kinda up in the air.

OOC: Why did Dukakis only get one term, but another, two-term Democrat follow him? Usually the incumbent gets the nomination, and Dukakis had no need to back out.

You mean Hillary Biden Rodham the Senato? Wow I didn't know that. LEts google it: "This man was the worst mistake I made in my entire life and I am happy to know I left him and the person I was back then behind me." Well thats a bit harsh Mrs. Biden!

I also have to agree that Bill has no chance in politics. He said that he "always inhales" for god's sake!

Eh, Hillary Biden has a vastly different personality than Clinton. It could never work out. Gennifer seems happy with him, anyway.

OOC: I'm assuming Biden remarried Hillary after his first wife died?
