Mitt Romney Says Possible Presidential Run For Hillary Won't Be Affected By Bill

Despite the rehashing of former President Bill Clinton's past infidelities by many GOP lawmakers, former U.S. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he doesn't believe he'd play a big part in a possible Hillary run, Reuters reported.

Romney made his comments during an interview on "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

"Hillary, if she becomes the nominee, will have plenty to discuss about her own record," he said. "I don't imagine that Bill Clinton is going to be a big part of it."

Though he said Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky "embarrassed the country," it doesn't have anything to do with how Hillary would be as president.

"But I don't think that is Hillary Clinton's to explain," Romney said. "She has her own record, her own vision to where she would take the country."

U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky made headlines in recent weeks after calling Bill Clinton a "sexual predator" for his relations with Lewinsky, making many wonder why he would bring the topic up if he doesn't believe it would affect Hillary's leadership.

"One of the workplace laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses should not prey on young interns in their office," Paul said on "Meet the Press" last month. "And I think really the media seems to have given President Clinton a pass on this. He took advantage of a girl that was 20 years old and an intern in his office. There is no excuse for that, and that is predatory behavior ... Then they (Democrats) have the gall to stand up and say, 'Republicans are having a war on women.'"

Aside from his predictions on Hillary Clinton's future in politics, Romney made it clear he will not be running for president ever again.

He added that, although Ronald Reagan won the White House on his third try, "I'm not Ronald Reagan. I think that has been pointed out to me before."
