2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I wish I'd see as much professed distress and outrage over seniors being unable to buy medicine [View all]ieoeja
(9,748 posts)29. Bill's 1992 campaign theme was that he could keep those bad Democrats in line better than a GOP.
There are many Democrats who have never met a national Democrat they liked except for the Clintons. I suspect this would be Reagan Democrats who came back to vote for Clinton because Bill campaigned against those Liberals in Congress. The Clintons are as worshipful to Conservative Dixiecrats as Reagan is to Conservative Republicans.
I tried talking to bartcop about that once. I pointed out to him in the middle of the general election in 2004 that for the previous two weeks, he had posted more Kerry criticism than Bush criticism each and every day. He just denied it even though the posts were there for anyone to count. And never changed his way.
