We won a glorious victory in ‘94 that stopped clintoon and the hildabeast from completing their destruction of America. But we ran out of gas in ‘96. We allowed a really weak candidate (Dole) to get the nomination, and the ‘bent one’ was allowed to infest the Oval Office for four more years.

Reagan himself couldn't have beat Clinton in 1996, thanks, in part, to the new Republican congress who forced Clinton to govern from the center --which he was able to do successfully. It's strange to consider that had the Republicans not taken control of congress in '94, Clinton would've likely been a failed one-termer ala Carter. Clinton took credit for everything (including the then booming tech industry that he had absolutely nothing to do with).

“Reagan himself couldn't have beat Clinton in 1996”

That's some of the revisionist nonsense that clintoons worshipers in the media have spread for years. And it is bunk.

Fact: Clintoon beat Dole (a VERY weak candidate)by only 8.2 million votes.

Clintoon did NOT even get a majority of the vote as that jug eared numskull Perot got over 8 million votes.

When you look at the single biggest decrease in voting by block between 1994 and 1996 - yep - the most conservative had the biggest decline.

Clintoon did NOT win that election - it was handed to him by the apathy of the conservative base, caused a weak candidate and some kind of misplaced feeling that we had ‘won’ in 94, and no more work was required.

And yes, sadly that does feel like today.

A Republican Congress led by Newt Gingrich. Something folks in FL seem to forget.
