Hillary Clinton Supporters Ask: ‘How’d She Lose to This Guy?’
Just one more point: Neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton have “controlled” the Democratic party since Al Gore won the nomination in 2000. Just as Obama is currently taking control of the DNC, so did Al Gore and John Kerry when they became the party nominee.
The last time a Clinton “controlled” the Democratic party, they won two consecutive terms in the White House.
Oh yes, Bill and/or Hillary “lost” the Congress to the Republicans in 2004. How did that happen? By proposing equal rights for gays, a universal health care plan, and a tax increase that lead to a balanced budget by 2000. Read: by upholding traditional Democratic values.
So as you invest so much in Barry-O’s ability to persuade Congress to implement whatever legislation he might propose, make sure you hold him accountable to do what he says he will do.
Whatever that is.
