In reply to the discussion: Why Do Republicans Hate the Clintons So Much? [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,941 posts)42. The Clintons beat them in 1992
and no matter how much they try to smear the Clintons and even when they genuinely mess up, people still generally like them. Unfortunately, this year, they've also brought a fairly vocal crowd of anti-HRC left-wingers along to help support them in their derangement but still, at a time where the Republicans had held the WH for 12 consecutive years, Bill Clinton finally ended it in 1992 and they failed to make him a one-term President. Plus, there's a very real chance that Democrats might actually have the WH for 12 years if Hillary wins this year and possibly more if they can't get their party in order at the national level.

Republican leadership? They LOVE the "evil" Clintons. Way easy to sell to their constituents.
