HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. PRESIDENT: Did Bill Clinton See This Coming? “Today, as he marks a birthday he might once have doubted he’d have, Clinton’s name means something different than it did 20 years ago, particularly among Democrats. Nearly all the two dozen 2020 candidates vying for the party’s nomination would likely hesitate to accept his open endorsement.”

Obamaism was the party’s rejection of Clinton’s DLC-style centrism, and whatever could be said is happening now is the party’s rejection of Obamaism.

Or to coin an Instaphrase, the Montagnards always turn on the Girondists.
