It was clear last night that Bill Clinton's lone legacy can be summed up by one word: Monica.
There he was, a pathologically lying serial philanderer trying to speak to the character of his serial and corrupt lying "wife", as if the next season of House of Cards had just been released.
There's no magic left in Bill. Most voters couldn't care less about him, and know little of him other than his scandalous fetish for gullible women. The sea of empty seats said as much, and the lack of response and idle chatter in the background showed how far his star has fallen.
Combine that with being lectured by the moms of thugs and a tipsy mess from Meryl Streep, and the night was a colossal waste of time.
Especially with Bernie supporters walking out and conducting protests against Hillary in the streets. Her sudden switch on TPP will no doubt irk them even more.
Obama will do his best to salvage this tonight, but in the end, Hillary will be left to speak, and that shrilling lack of charisma will crash in the background of deleted emails, ongoing FBI investigations, husband issues and enabling, Benghazi, Assange, and whatever catastrophic news lies ahead for her.
This is what a deal with the devil looks like.
