I suspect that Politico’s concept of Clintonism is grossly divorced from the reality of it.
Here’s just one example: In the 1990s, Bill Clinton infamously proclaimed “The era of Big Government is over,” and the fawning media lauded him for it.
But today, the staff at Politico probably doesn’t even know that he ever uttered that outrageous lie, let along how despicable were the circumstances in which he uttered it, and the purposes for which it was uttered.
...”I suspect that Politico’s concept of Clintonism is grossly divorced from the reality of it.”...
Oh, Yes: The Jennifer Flowers story along with what was known about the Arkansas “mafia” would have done Bill Clinton’s candidacy in the first time, if third party candidate, Ross Perot, had stayed out of it. I think the voter turnout was in the 20-something percentage. Mr. Perot owns much of the blame for the decline of our nation since then, especially regarding the rise of corruption and the moral decline. Perot handed that election to Clinton.
I need to correct myself. The voter turnout in 1990 was 36.52%.
