Mr. Clinton also answered questions on other topics like immigration, Benghazi and the challenges of launching the Affordable Care Act, which he said that Democrats should acknowledge. “Nobody could have done this perfectly,” Mr. Clinton said, and suggested that Democrats start on a “long-term repair process” for the law. On the topic of his wife Hillary’s health, he assured the audience that the former Secretary of State is in tip-top shape. “She works out every week. She is strong. She’s doing great,” he said. “As far as I can tell she’s in better shape than I am.” He admitted that he was “dumbfounded” by an accusation from Karl Rove that she may have suffered brain damage. But, he said, negative comments from the right — fueled by a possible presidential run by Mrs. Clinton in 2016 — won’t end there. “It’s just the beginning,” he said.
