Bill Clinton makes appearance on Rush Limbaugh show

Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton’s efforts to reunite the Democratic Party — and get the votes of some independent voters — could become tougher than ever with news that former President target=”_blank”Bill Clinton appeared on conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s show…on the day of the Texas primary.
