Difference - Clinton “triangulated” - 0Bama did not.
We also had a strong 3rd party campaign by Ross Perot in both 1992 and 1996. I’m surprised the writer of this article didn’t mention Perot at all. Perot got 8% of the popular vote in 1996. He drained more votes from the Republicans in both ‘92 and ‘96 than he did from Democrats. Bill Clinton may still have been re-elected in ‘96, but it would have been a much closer election without Perot in the race.
