In 1992, a progressive Democrat could not get elected...it took Perot in both 92 and 96 to get Bill running as a centrist in. The country was right of center. Had a 'real' progressive run, he would have lost. Bill did not ever have a majority. Did Bill do things I disagreed with...yes, but so has Pres. Obama in terms of policy. However, he was the only person in my opinion that could get elected during that time. And he saved SCOTUS until Bush stole the election with a great deal of help from Susan Sarandon and her band of merry green traitors (Nader). You apply 2016 standards to a time that was still in heavy Reagan worship mode. We had peace and prosperity and two great judges appointed. And Robert, your writings have shown that you are not the man I thought you were...you actively help Trump with these posts...very disappointing to see those I have admired for years turn into Bernie groupies with no thought or care for the welfare of this country.
