That explains a lot.
Bill Clinton was the only two term Democrat of the 20th Century after the Cold War.
In many respects, the Democratic Leadership Council he headed tried to take the Democrats back to the center.
It was instrumental in his 1992 victory.
Such a moderating force no longer exists in the Democratic Party today.
Its a competition between those who can most appeal to the fringe.
Which is profoundly unsettling.
