About a year to ten months from the Polls, Klinton was dealing with depression and low polls.
Morris told him to triangulate and claim credit for Blance budget and make up Job numbers that weren’t real and say that over and over.
Then they made Dole look like senile, hateful, wife abuser.
I remember.
Dole was old, tottering, and ineffectual.
His need to resign the senate was based on his inability to look effectual in that senate leadership position. The democrats had a lot to do with that, but it was still his failure.
Then he fell of a stage.
And the media showed it over and over again.
And there was no hope for a comeback after that.
Not that there was much hope for a comeback before that.
There was a time when it looked like someone could beat Clinton. By the time Dole was our nominee, I don’t think it looked like Dole was the person who could do it.
