RE “CLINTON sees economic role for husband’’ (Page A6, May 17): Is Hillary Clinton so out of touch with the zeitgeist today that she thinks promising to have Bill head her economic team will gain her votes? As onetime Globe columnist George Frazier knew, the spirit of the times has much to do with the “duende’’ of an individual.

Bill Clinton’s day has passed. He no longer has it.

Alas, as a lifelong Democrat who will reluctantly vote for Hillary, I have to acknowledge that Donald Trump has duende.
