How come the media isn't pointing out that Clinton in 1992 went after the very same working-class whites that Trump is getting now. Clinton even distanced himself from people like Jesse Jackson, who wanted him to run as a traditional Democrat pandering to blacks and other left-wing special interest groups.

Bill Clinton did none of those things. He presented himself, albeit falsely, as a "New Democrat", meaning he was on the side of law-and-order, strong economy, and keeping America safe.

So where is the media pointing out this hypocrisy?

Indeed he did! Worth remembering.

It wasn’t just 1992 and 1996. Donald Trump is getting a lot of support from Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primaries. Now they’ve abandoned her, and she’s trying cobble together a winning coalition among all the misfits who she despised in 2008 and put Obama in the White House.
