As much as I hate clinton, we have made so much progress since he came to the fore , that I think he has really helped our cause. Since he became a national figure, we have taken the house, the senate, and the white house. We should add to our majority in the senate in the next election.
The main reason for my positive opinion is that the dems are so far to the left that they can only take positions that Americans don't agree with. I am very optimistic we will continue to lead the way to a better america.
Sometimes, I think the way you do. He is completely annoying, and I do credit the backlash effect for many of the things you mentioned.
