(80,708 posts)I dont actually think this primary is going to be built around comparing the relative merits of Bill versus Hillary.. Certainly an amount of congruity between the policies of the two is at least implied, which is fine, as others have noted the 90s were a boom time, we ran a surplus, and many recall that era fondly.
One thing i can say is that while he is pretty clearly a more skilled politician (not really a fair comparison- as was demonstrated again in the '08 and '12 elections, the guy is the Michael Jordan of political speaking, etc. -- there is no one who comes close to his natural abilities in that regard) it is unlikely that Hillary would be subject to the sorts of personality... Issues which plagued BC. To wit, I dont envision her administration being plagued by a "screwed around with an intern" scandal.
