One could make a case that Clinton is responsible for Bush’s victories.
Pretend for a moment that during the Lewinski scandal, Clinton resigned. That would put Al Gore in office as President. That means that Gore runs in 2000 as an incumbent instead of an heir apparent.
That extra oomph is likely to result in enough additional votes that Gore easily carries Florida and wins the election.
But Clinton refused to resign and the Democrats backed him fully. But look what all this loyalty to Clinton has got them. Since Clinton took office, the Democrats have steadily lost ground. With each election cycle, they lose more governorships, more congressional seats and in the recent election Bush not only won the Presidency, but also added to Republican majorities in both the Senate and the House.
In the most recent election, every single candidate that Clinton campaigned for lost.
I don’t know why Democrats continue to glorify Clinton when he continues to drag the party downhill.
The evil Karl Rove and George Bush have a goal: to make the Republicans the majority party for the next generation.
